That’s what we all are, right?

That’s certainly what this site is. But more on that in a minute…

It wasn’t until I reached middle age that I really came to appreciate or even understand the phrase, “It’s the journey, not the destination.” I have been so married to the idea that how I perform is directly related to my value and worth and “success” as a person that I couldn’t allow myself to just be. It was an exhausting existence.

The problem is, eventually you crumble under that weight of expected perfection. At least I did. I reached a point a while back where the weight of who I thought I was supposed to be and the reality of who I was (by most internal and external measures) were so far apart that I literally gave up. A dark place.

It took a lot of hours to sort through the pain, the lies, and the destructive beliefs so that I could see clearly. See myself. See my loved ones. See God. Critical to that journey was, and continues to be, a partner. Someone to listen to me, call me out when needed, and importantly – someone who isn’t linked to the outcome. That means, they have no personal agenda other than my well being on the other side.

That’s what a coach does. That’s who a coach is. That’s what #lookdeeper is all about. I believe that we all have a desire to live life to the fullest. The great news is we can do that! I also believe that sometimes, we all need a little help. The bad news is, we don’t always look for that help.

This new venture, lookdeepercoaching.com and The Look Deeper Blog exist to help you move to where you want to be. In the weeks ahead, you can expect to see content that will explain this in greater detail. I will explore with you what coaching is, what coaching isn’t, how a coach can help, and what that might look like. I will also be sharing content that gives you a glimpse into who I am as the @lookdeepercoach (you should follow me on twitter).

I once saw a t-shirt that said “Let’s go do fun things!” So let’s do that! Thank you for joining me on this journey.
