Do not leave me: there are monsters.

This was the terrified cry.

My 4-year-old son is suddenly very aware of fear.

It is strange how this phase kicks in without warning. As a toddler, my son was fearless as is often the case. But now at night-time, the fear of monsters is all too real.

Fear is connected to imagination.

It is why the “unknown” terrifies us.

There is a void in which our imaginations can fill with terrors much greater than reality ever turns out to be.

The monsters do not go away. They just change shape.

The fear remains “real” even if the reality does not match the experience of those emotions.

Facing a potential change of career without being sure of the new direction is a prime time where fear can paralyze action and progress.

And then you are really in trouble….

Without action, there is a void. Where there is a void, the “unknown” is filled in with all the imaginary terrors: all the things that you believe can go wrong, all the doubts, all the things that root you to the spot and leave you stuck in limbo.

The monsters are real. The monsters are in your mind.

But they can be beaten – overcome – defeated.

I am in your corner every step to shine a light on your career change.

With enlightenment, there’s no place for the monsters to hide.

Professional

I first worked with Will whilst I was a junior member of a teaching team. I worked closely with him for around three years and he became a true mentor to me. During this time Will helped encourage me to discover my own leadership style and he mapped out what it takes to be successful. I highly recommend Will for life and career coaching.

Will is a professional, natural leader who manages to make you feel at ease. He manages to be both emphatic and encouraging, whilst also managing to challenge you to find your own answers. Will’s approach is totally non-judgmental and the sessions are really focused on you and on what you want to achieve. Working with Will has allowed me to address challenges I was facing and he brought a wealth of resources and practical tools to help me set goals, clarify my values, and explore avenues right away. Even though I left teaching 5 years ago, I still seek out Will for his help and guidance and I appreciate his versatility as a thought partner, ally, and coach. Our sessions are always productive and efficiently run, which is perfect for someone who is juggling many priorities! Will brings great communication, professionalism and quality to his work and I highly recommend him as a life/business coach.

Will at Mapleleaf vision fitted me in for a last minute decision-making session that I needed to make ASAP re. a job offer / career change. He was friendly, professional, and really knew his stuff! He unpicked things that I could never have done on my own. I’m so grateful to him & will be highly recommending him to everyone! Where there is a ‘Will’, there’s a way! Thank you, Will. You truly have a gift.
