Why I Hired Gloria As My Life Coach!
“Why would anyone need a life coach?” is the question I was asked when I told friends and family of my decision to hire Gloria Ponziano, a life coach who I had come to respect and admire, after reading her articles in a local newspaper. My immediate response was, “why not?” I needed help getting some areas of my life on track. I relied on myself for years but was not getting anywhere. I needed someone other than myself that I could be accountable to. I needed someone to kick my butt, and just as importantly, someone to cheer me on. Why not my own personal cheerleader?
So, I took the initiative and made contact with Gloria. Little did I know the ride I was in for would be life-altering. She has an incredible way of making you feel good about yourself even when you are in the midst of a dark mood. She helps you to see, with clarity, the astonishing qualities you possess and encourages you to challenge negative beliefs in favor of a more positive, healthy view of who you are. She listens with passion and intent to your words and provides comfort when things are tough. She also has an incredible way of lifting you out of your despair.
Gloria and I have been working together for more than a year now and I continue my journey to live life in accordance with my God-given purpose – to be an inspiration to others (as Gloria has been to me) by spreading love.
Gloria helps me to “get out of my own way.” She has assisted me in removing barriers that keep me from accomplishing my goals. She has provided new perspectives that I otherwise would not have considered. She attentively listens without judgment. She challenges me, encourages me and supports me.
I have a long way to go in accomplishing other goals I’ve set for myself but with Gloria coaching me and cheering me on, my successes are guaranteed. So when someone asks, “why would anyone need a life coach?” my response is “because you can’t afford not to have one.”
