Hello gorgeous women…To-day
I am sharing a little of what I do beyond blogging! I know you thought I just loved writing…and I
do, I do, I do…yet there is more…indulge me if you will!
Yes…what a privilege… and how
I love seeing the difference in a client. She has a spring back in her step and
she is facing her world with joy. Often her sensual self slips out and I am
thrilled knowing I was a part of her journey as I exercised my license to skill…as
a Confidence Coach.
Gwendolyn has given me
permission to share part of her journey. I meet many women 50+ in similar
circumstances, it is a common thread. She knows I write this blog, she reads it
and it was through reading it that she discovered me!
It was an amazing
co-incidence as so often happens in life that in connecting she became a
client. Perhaps you too are curious, perhaps you might see parts of her
reflected in you…or perhaps you have a friend who is going through a similar
experience to Gwendolyn.
Tell me in a sentence Di,
what do you do? As a coach I work with women 50+ or almost there to restore or develop
a feminine, authentic and confident life…so they feel complete, vibrant and
alive.
Mature women are amazing to
work with; they have had all sorts of exciting things happen to them.
Interestingly they have had amazing successes; they have achieved in society,
in their profession maybe owned a business, maybe been a sensational employee,
raised a family and had successful relationships.
They have all had either
glorious adventures or have fabulously failed somewhere.
However, one or several and
usually the latter, life changing events can suddenly leave her feeling disconnected as all those
things that were once her successes, suddenly become her nemesis. She who has
been amazing all her life can flounder and hesitate…at worst hide from finding
her place in a new world usually but not always as a single woman. She finds
herself in a new and unfamiliar role where she needs to integrate back into
society. This can be seriously scary for
her.
How does it work? By
implementing positive confidence coaching sessions packed with processes and
strategies that will serve her long term. When this challenge goes away…guess
what…another comes along, life is not static it is a living breathing
journey. As we grow…guess what… we just
get a better class of challenge…that is that value of having a strategy as part
of your plan.
We do away with the
confidence zappers…you know the sort I mean…10 minutes with them and you feel
like slashing your wrists would be a great option…oops I got sidetracked. And all
delivered with a healthy dose of humour and pleasurable activities.
Gwendolyn presented on her
first session with the ‘eekkkkkkkkkk what have I let myself in’ look. It can be
really scary sharing your life and challenges, yet she says it’s time...time
for me! She settled and excitedly chose the
‘Coco Experience’ as her coaching package.
In brief, a coach does not
tell you what to do! It is a coach’s role to listen, create a plan with you then
offer processes and exercises that support you through that journey.
To also hold you accountable
for what you say you want. Not to make your decisions for you...yet to support you, becoming playful at times, tough at times
and gentle at times. To celebrate your successes and say ‘fantastic’ when a
challenge arises, because it gives you the perfect opportunity to practice your
new skills in a safe and supportive atmosphere.
Back to Gwendolyn, her 36
year marriage had just ended and it was not an amicable split. She was left
feeling hurt, angry, unappreciated, unloved and undesirable and facing the need
to create extra income.
Her children are grown and
independent, her identify was becoming blurred, no longer needed as a wife, mother or a
homemaker…her usual confident and happy self went underground. She felt
overwhelmed was plagued by doubt, her self worth and self confidence took a
nose dive and she doubted her ability to build a new life.
Into her 5th session
she is consistently working on her strategies and plan, taking care of herself,
her whole demeanour has changed and she is seeing positive changes happening
around her. Gwendolyn is looking her new life directly in the eye. Has it been
without challenge…noooooooooooooo, learning to step beyond them is allowing her
confidence to rise.
As she left today, she
turned and smiled saying ‘what else is possible?
Gwendolyn has broken free of
her limiting beliefs. She is enjoying and reflecting her confidence and inner
strength and yes, I see peeps of her sensuality shining through. Her natural
and gracious self is shining.
For Di, I am a mature, modern
thinking woman who has lived; loved, lost and regained…my gift is my ability to
simply and graciously help mature women when they say… ‘Its time… its time for
me…to guide them to restore their confidence, strength and vitality. I am in
gratitude for my license to skill!
Coco Chanel said ‘You can be gorgeous at thirty, charming at
forty, and irresistible for the rest of your life.’
If you or another
gorgeous 50+ or nearly there woman who you know is feeling less than
irresistible then maybe the ‘Coco Experience’ is an option. If you would like
to enquire email di@diriddell.com
If you and your friends are
bursting with confidence in their sensual selves then that is awesome! I urge
you to share your gift with others. Whatever being confident, sensual and full of life means to you...
Enjoy
your day and rejoice in your amazing and exquisite journey as a mature woman…paint
the ceiling beige…no way…let your confident and sensual self shine…you are
truly amazing!
