A Coaching Power Tool Created by Kelly Goyer
(Life Coach, CANADA)
This Power Tool was inspired from my observations of people leading externally-focused lives. I noticed that human happiness had been removed from its natural location, within us, and shifted to a place where it doesn’t exist naturally, outside of us.
Much has been externalized with the intention of the outside/external providing the inside/internal with the desired experience and the drive to get it. When we compare ourselves to others, and everything from the right job, family vacation, the right partner, the right education, the right house, the right kids, the right school, etc. etc. is analyzed with our own happiness, and self-evaluation attached to it.
This focus does not lead one to the source of their happiness, capacity for freedom, compassion, service, courage, sustainable effort, or fierce commitments. All of that exists within, on the inside, so I developed this Power Tool to help clients shift from outside obligations, societal rules, family expectations, materialistic aspirations, etc. and connect to the real source of their power, truth, passion, purpose, trust, wealth, and freedom – inside.
