Why Smart People Struggle with Self Sabotage

I tend to work with highly intelligent people.

These same people struggle with change. No, you're not alone. You operate from an internal system that has led you to some successful outcomes. Maybe you've adopted that high achiever mindset or feel like you have learned how to read people really well. Potentially these are coping mechanisms... but still, in a round about way, they have led you to where you are now. They've worked out to an extent.

However, the struggle lies in your emotional intelligence. As a result of your IQ, you may have developed a really speedy reflex that might cause you to miss some finer nuances in your life. Your amazing ability to make quick inferences and judgements has become a blind spot. We all have them... but without understanding the ways that we are missing things, we stay stuck in our emotions. At times, sabotaging growth despite our best efforts.

Which probably leads you here to this post. You've found that it's much easier to uncover these blind spots when you have the right strategy and awareness of them. In fact, as soon as you are aware of them, they start to diminish. It's the seeing them that is the tough part.

So, this is where someone like me comes in. It's what I do. I help people to see their blind spots. Luckily, I operate from a clear belief and vision for you: I know that you can do it YOURSELF.

Ensuring this, is engrained in my mission and service.
