Woman Holding Up Sign Saying The Emperor is Naked

The Emperor Has No Clothes: Exposing the Coaching Industry's Secrets

May 03, 20234 min read

This world has conditioned us to believe that we must be lied to in order to listen. Our politicians must tell us that we are so pretty and mom's favorite in order for them to be good representations of us, as a people. Yet they make a mess of the job so that we can then complain. What a fun little merry-go-round of dysfunction.

So many in this transformation and coaching industry are nothing more than oil boom-chasing, snake oil peddling, and slick talking politicians. They will tell you what a great job you are doing for breathing, kiss your babies and shake some hands. They will play along with your BS about wanting to transform, without an interest in disrupting your life, as you know it, and they will take all of your money while dangling another carrot down the path in front of you.

What actually happened is that you've just transferred your addiction to deflected living to another. Now you can play their games and be at the mercy of what they may or may not teach you. You will pay to stay in their perpetual sales funnel where you get just enough to stay but not enough to leave. Congratulations! You get to pretend you're healing and changing.

Pretend, just like the emperor with those amazing tailors - the ones who constructed fine threads with such care and workmanship that only fools wouldn't recognize. Yes, they not only spun imaginary threads but also tales, and everyone went along with it.

Everyone lied to the emperor for fear of being punished with the label of being the fool, stupid, or bad, even the emperor himself. Pay no attention to that breeze blowing past his cushy tush. Nope, that was just the beauty of fine craftsmanship. All until one little child spoke up and pointed out that the guy was parading through the streets naked as a jaybird.

Rather than covering up and admitting he'd been played, the mighty leader of those people doubled down and kept on walking. And the people kept on playing along - why?

Many of you have been paying thousands and thousands of dollars, even mortgaging your homes, to clothe many of the royalty in this industry. You have struggled and suffered to find a way to "attract" what you know you can have because "if they can do it, so can you." And they tell you how much they believe in you. They tell you that in the next course or level, you will unlock the secrets to what is in the way of your success. They tell you all of the disempowering "empowerment" narratives you desire to hear to feel better. And then they just put another quarter in the machine and head home so you can enjoy the dopamine hit of once again giving away your power to another naked emperor.

When will you be ready to actually change? When will you decide you are ready to live for today and find the beauty in your story? Because here's the million-dollar secret-- until you make peace with the fact that you keep experiencing the same results over and over, they will never change.

What I do that's different is work with you to:

  • Recognize what YOU actually desire from this life experience

  • Zero in on what it is you are here to do and how you'd like that to look

  • Discover your identify what is in your way (you get to help--I'm not here to do all the work for you)

  • Identify the humor and beauty in all that oftentimes sticky mess

  • Work out a plan to navigate your way out of the current situation or the way to intentionally stay and LOVE IT

  • Set you up with tools to be able to process future challenges

I'm not here to create a cult like sales funnel to trap you forever in the clutches of my offerings. I have zero interest in keeping everyone on the hook to help you be actually authentic. Nope.

Besides, wouldn't that actually be the antithesis of authentic living-- needing someone else to tell you how to do it? Nonetheless, I am here to help you find your way through it and find solutions and options where it seems there are none. There are always some, and I am here to help you see them.

Or just go back to being mom's favorite. Either way, it's your choice and I'm just here to assist, if you wish.
