Sean: What are some of the most common problems that people tell you, people, who work as an employee, that you are able to help them with?

Lou: A lot of the time, so it usually starts with team dynamics can often be an issue and people not knowing how to best handle a dominant manager for example or an unmotivated team member.

And what I always say to people in that respect is you can't control those other people's behaviors. What you can control is how you respond to those. And so I teach them tools and techniques to allow them to get to know themselves better so that they are then better equipped at handling all the different kinds of people.

Another really key thing is their own self-belief and self-confidence, self-esteem, you know, all of the rest of it that has probably been instrumental to the fact that they're still there. They're still somewhere that they may realize they shouldn't still be, because they've been there for 10 years, 20 years, however long.

And that comes down to their own sense of self-worth and their own sense of self-esteem, self-confidence to actually do something about it. And so we do a lot of work around that as well. We unlock all of those old stories that we carry around with us, or that, you know, that I often refer to it like a backpack full of rocks.

It's all our old bullshit stories from childhood, from, you know, experiences of the past that create our limiting beliefs, that creates our, you know, our fear-based behaviors. So I just help them unpack that rucksack and reframe those old stories and they go away feeling a lot lighter.

Sean: That's awesome. So it's mostly about coworkers.

Now let's go to the business owners because they come to you because they're stuck somewhere in their life. Right. That's usually the case. What are some of the most common problems of business owners when they come to you and look for a solution?

Lou: Lack of a clear strategy, overwhelm, and again the lack of self-belief. And this is where I, being a self-love advocate because I really helped them do so much work on themselves.

They become unstoppable. So that mix, that combination of getting to know yourself, getting to know your, your own limits and setting in place a really clear strategic direction, but then in their business. Is it completely tailored to where they want to go? I don't believe you can have one without the other. You can have all the strategies in the world, but if you don't believe in yourself, you're not going to get to where you want to be.

And you can be the most confident person and have, you know, doing all of the inner work. But if you haven't got a clear strategy for where you're going again, you're not going to have a successful business.

So those two, and we integrate the two so much so that they step into their own self-belief. They step into their own unlimited selves, knowing where they're going and knowing who they are and that sets them off. So yeah, they often come to me because they are, they've got, overwhelmed. Like we talked about before that shiny object syndrome, they tend to do all. They haven't got quite the clarity. And I'll tell you the number one thing that people often come to me with and they haven't realized that they're not doing. They haven't truly nailed who they're talking to, why they're talking to them and how they can help them.
