This Is The Best Journey I’ve Ever Taken In My Life

I knew I would take this journey on and it's going to change me first. I knew I was taking a self-journey as a start. But I didn't know how huge it was. It was enormous. Changing and seeing myself change every day...

Heidi SolimanAccredited Professional Coach

So how's it been for you, this journey? You've been in here for a small amount of time. You've grown so much, and I've seen you expand so much more into you.

The best journey I've ever taken in my life. That's a massive thing. Not just me, anyone would take to themselves. It's something that you take for the rest of your life, because the best journey and the best return of investment you'll ever make in your life is for yourself.

That's what I did when I first started: To say yes to myself.

Did you know you were saying yes to you, when you first began?

I knew I would take this Life coaching journey on and it's going to change me first. I knew I was taking a self-journey as a start. But I didn't know how huge it was. It was enormous. Changing and seeing myself change every day. And the way I look at things changed a lot. And the way I evaluate situations, the way I see people, the way I react to things that happened to my life, it's just changed a lot.

"The best journey I've ever taken in my life. Not just me, anyone would take to themselves. It's something that you take for the rest of your life, because the best journey and the best return of investment you'll ever make in your life is for yourself."

Heidi SolimanAccredited Professional Coach

Tell me what's the relationship with yourself, what did it used to be? And then, how's it different?

I never knew that self-love was something that I could have for myself. I didn't know that. And because I didn't have self-love I didn't have self-trust.

I didn't know it was a thing. So I always wanted validation from other sources and other people, because I wanted them to tell me that I'm going right, and I'm doing the right thing, and I'm taking the right steps in life, and so on and so forth. I never trusted myself to take my own decisions, because I just didn't know I was good enough. And because that, I didn't know that I could love myself enough, also. That affected my relationship with myself and everybody around me.

And so what was the key thing that you learned about you?

Doing all the work around myself before I went and I did all the coaching outside. Learning all of that, and some of the other life coaching course models like cause and effect. Like am I at the cause or at the effect of things that happened to me? Things like below the line, above the line. Things like your idea average day.

I get exactly what you mean. When I first started, I would think to myself "Wow, do I think I'm really doing any of that?" But it's exacting in a way, because there's an opportunity for us to grow and develop.

There is a lot of opportunity, yes. And this is why having a relationship with myself first taught me how I could have successful relationships outside. And I had this problem with absolutism. I was always ... Either people are always bad or really good. They're either evil or saints. There's no in between. The reality of everyone has a little bit of good and bad in them.

So what's the contrast now? So what's the relationship you've got with yourself now?

I'm not very harsh on myself as I used to be. I think that I am making the right choices. There's no right or wrong, but I'm making choices that serve me, that make me better, that make me a better person from inside, and then a better person for everyone else around me.

That's wonderful. And it's very important that when we do make this decisions and see that come from that space, seeing ourselves the best us, is a wonderful place.

And you're lighting up. It's just you can just see it. It's coming out of you.

Yeah, thank you. It does affect me a lot. And it makes me feel really good. I'm very comfortable being me now.

"I'm not very harsh on myself as I used to be. I think that I am making the right choices. There's no right or wrong, but I'm making choices that serve me, that make me better, that make me a better person from inside, and then a better person for everyone else around me..."

So when you stepped into this beautiful world at Foundations, and you kind of had your old black and white world as you're saying, what was it like to step in those doors and come along and do that training?

At the TCI, the best thing that happened to me in that training is that I've learned that there's no right or wrong, and I've learned that I am allowed to feel and think anything I want. I never allowed myself that, or others. So to me, having that acceptance of myself and others, always. I'm allowed to think and feel anything I want.

There's no right or wrong. It's just I'm allowing myself to be me and that allowance is fantastic. To go back to your ultimate self, to go back to who you were meant to be, that's the journey. And now I'm sharing with others as well.

How are you sharing this in your family? Because I know this is something that you're loving bringing into your family.

Yeah, well my relationship has changed a lot with my kids. I've got two daughters, and my relationship just changed enormously. My brothers, my mother, my father, my friends, everyone can see that I have changed a lot. And I'm just more easy-going. I'm very flexible. I'm loving. I'm accepting. And I'm not judgmental. I'm just there, I am being.

They love it, especially my family, because I'm so much more present now. I'm 100% with whoever I am, and I'm just being. I stopped the doing and the having, and I'm just being. I'm being with them.

There was so much stress and anger before. And now I'm very happy.

"Come along, unprepared, and join the journey. Say yes to yourself because the journey will take into yourself and then to others outside you is wonderful. It's a wonderful experience. Having the community around you, having the most wonderful people you can share your life with, and share your experiences..."

Heidi SolimanAccredited Professional Coach

You're working with some clients. You're doing some workshops. Share with us how you're sharing this now with other people.

Yeah, my first clients were pro-bono, of course. And then they started getting paid, and now I gave them my packages, and then they took it up. So I had some personal clients, one to one coaching. And then I started coaching a business as well.

At the moment I'm doing some workshops around different areas and different subjects in colleges as well. They are loving it. I'm adding so much value in my life and others all the time.

It's beautiful. What would you say to someone who is considering doing their Foundations training with us?

Come along, unprepared, and join the journey. Say yes to yourself because the journey will take into yourself and then to others outside you is wonderful. It's a wonderful experience. Having the community around you, having the most wonderful people you can share your life with, and share your experiences. Everybody will look after you, you will be very happy, and you will invest so much in yourself and others.

Before I started my life coaching journey, I didn't know who I was...

#My future business as a Life Coach

#Ever since I was 16 years old I wanted to help people become the best they can be and to live the most incredible life they had ever dreamed of. I wanted to be a Life Coach but I didn't feel that I had much life to coach with...

#Miranda #Roediger#Accredited Professional Coach

#"The Coaching Institute gave me so much wisdom and clarity around my future business as a Life Coach"

After high school, I went on a journey to equip myself with various knowledge and skills so I would be at my own personal peak and feel I was able to coach and train others.

#“I was looking for my place in the world and where I could really contribute my best to others but found that all of these occupations touched on an area of my interests and developed my abilities and knowledge to a point but didn’t go any further than that . . .”

#Miranda RoedigerAccredited Professional Coach

#I studied a degree in Psychology and Counselling...

#And I enjoyed being introduced to human thinking and behaviour. However, I was apprehensive in finishing a masters in this because I wasn't certain that I felt this was the most powerful tool to help the people I wanted to impact. The books and research just wanting seeming to apply to those I saw struggling.

#Going on to work in and study HR / training and development, I got to learn about business. However, I found that I didn't get the opportunity to really help people or work through different issues that they were coming up against in life.

#After that, I decided to become a Secondary School Teacher because I thought that I could really help them and offer some guidance and assistance in their time of need. I enjoyed working with youth and helping them learn about life. At the same time, there's a lot of other superfluous work that didn't link with my purpose of helping people become their best.

#I was looking for my place in the world. Somewhere I could really contribute my best to others...

#Still feeling like I didn't have all of the necessary wisdom and strategies to help myself or the people surrounding me experience their best life yet...

#All of these occupations touched on an area of my interests and developed my knowledge to a point, but they didn't go any further than that.

#I was looking for more and I stumbled across The Coaching Institute...

#The Coaching Institute seemed to stand out from the other training institutions in so many ways.

#Because of what I had heard in Psychology classes and in some other places, I was skeptical of Life Coaching. I was worried that it was a lot of talk from people who didn't really have a grasp on reality and would offer quick fix solutions.

#Although I was apprehensive about doing more study and didn't think that I could learn anything new, helpful, or life changing... I spoke to some of the staff at The Coaching Institute who answered a lot of my questions so graciously.

#And I thought I would give it a try...

#Once I commenced my training, I was continually amazed by the clear, simple yet comprehensive and transformational learning that took place!

#It was nothing like I had ever experienced in any of my other education or positions.

#The knowledge and experiences I was gathering was actually changing my life!

#They were helping me through some decisions and concerns that I had. Some I had worked on for years and other professions or education couldn't help me shift.

#Everything that has been shared has added value to my life. It has challenged and developed me and has been so easy to apply to my coaching and training.

#“I want to thank Joe Pane and others at The Coaching Institute for the life changing weekend at Foundations of Coaching Success training. You instantly saw patterns, habits and beliefs in me that I was unaware of and that were holding me back from moving forward. . .”

#Thank you Joe Pane and others at The Coaching Institute for the life changing weekend at Foundations of Coaching Success training.

#You instantly saw patterns, habits and beliefs in me that I was unaware of and that were holding me back from moving forward.

#You gave me so much wisdom and clarity around my future business as a Life Coach and Trainer, my marriage, my health choices and simply my life as a human being.

#There were so many beliefs, feelings, actions and situations that I was struggling with and have been trying to work out and sort through for years.

#I felt so free, clear and totally transformed after Foundations of Coaching Success...

#Something that I have never experienced despite all of the different human behaviour study and practice that I have encountered.

#Sincerely, thank you.

#You have changed my life in such an incredible way, and for that I will be forever grateful!

#This is the best investment I've made in my life so far.

#Words cannot express how thankful I am for you.

#The Coaching Institute, you are phenomenal!
