Special Challenges Facing Women
The following is an excerpt of one of David’s coaching sessions in Top Coaching Techniques.
David: Now that’s maybe one thing. The other thing I want to say is, I can understand – particularly for a woman – because you are taught you should find a man.
Client: Yeah.
David: You’ve been taught that since birth. That it will give you value and that’s what you should do, and in a way, you’ve been taught that you’re lucky if a man finds you and settles down with you and looks after you – all that kind of crap – before he finally dumps on you. So, particularly for a woman, I can understand the thinking, ‘I must sacrifice for my relationship.’ However, there’s another way of thinking that goes, ‘If you look after yourself and you do what you love, you will shine and you will attract the person you need to be with. Until you become that person you need to be – until you go and shine, the person you are meant to be with can’t even find you.
Client: Yeah.
David: Now, this guy might be the guy. That’s okay. I’m not saying he’s not. I’m saying you are not in a bargaining position. You are not needing him. You are not needing to sacrifice for any relationship. You could find someone who would love to be with you and you’d be a delight to be around, because you are just so loving life.
