Thanx to you I worked with Donna Steinhorn for 3 months and she was outstanding. Secondly, I want to acknowledge you for your honesty. When I first heard that you had 'shut down' due to anxiety I was taken aback. I thought this was too much to disclose, that you had to put forward an image to your readers and that this wasn't it.<br/><br/>However, I have to say that in my work as a coach and a therapist, the biggest connectors to my clients have been when I have shared my trials and tribulations. It makes us real. It means that if we are able to get through the sludge, then they too have a chance to get through their 'stuff'. Thank you for being a role model and giving us permission to be real! Hi David:

We are still friends though admit we push each others buttons if held in proximity for too long together (hey still work there no doubt) But it is such a freeing feeling and a release to be HONEST with one's self and with those you love (why not be honest with everyone?

I find the times when I am left alone by myself to get on with it are when the issues that really need working on really pop up because you can't avoid yourself for ever. well, maybe you can but I can't!<br/><br/>There's some old saying about the night being most difficult before the dawn and I have started to notice a pattern that when I feel MOST rubbish, worthless etc etc then I'm actually ripe for a breakthrough. It took me several years to turn myself around after my marriage breakup but I've come out the other side somewhat stronger and wiser. I hope the same will be said for you. We're with you in spirit support if not in presence - and thank goodness you're actually talking about it. Strong silent types end up with stomach hernias and police shootouts. Not funny. If you believe in God, pray as well. He is always listening whether you feel like it or not.

I hope you can'rock through' how you feel as time does heal. You need to do what it takes to move forward. I'd like to show gratitude for the past few years that I have benefited so much from your guidance how you have motivated me...and once again given me a window when being motivated has been real tough. Thank You! Keep on lifting us up David!!!!!<br/>Nike Hi David,

I just wanted to say thanks.

Having read David’s email and all your comments so far, I have realised that I’m not the only coach who experiences ‘humanmess’. (For me it’s my business – getting the direction I want it to go in right and then getting it there has proved and is proving to be a lot tougher than I thought).

…and that’s a really helpful realisation! (There is always that part of me telling me that as a coach I ‘should’(!) be able to sort everything out and that all other coaches lives and businesses are perfect).

So thanks again.
