A decade of helping people cope better
I’m not a gushing person, but it is with a ripple of pride that I am writing this post.
Why? Because this month marks the 10th anniversary of Birkdale Hypnotherapy. When I started my Hypnotherapy Training in 2012, I had no idea that I would be here, ten years later, helping clients, training and supervising other hypnotherapists, but I am.
Learning, and more learning
Since graduating from CPHT Manchester, I had to learn how to run a business all those years ago. I never lacked enthusiasm, but I certainly didn’t have a well thought-out plan for where I was going. My success is down to my clients; they all (well, most) turned up for their appointments, took on my ideas and followed my direction. Most importantly, they got better and I was and still am, thrilled.
So, it’s a big thank you to you all (you know who you are).
No doubt running a small business requires determination, dedication and tenacity. So, while I celebrate my ten year milestone, I think it’s a thumbs up to all the graduates I have taught and supervised as we navigated the globe of hypnotherapy and business life together.
Together
And to those I work with, Charlotte, Karen, John, Jen, Sophia and Trevor, as we push forward with teaching, marketing and podcasting. I offer my gratitude and thanks. Being surrounded and supported by such a great team, makes me feel so lucky.
Gems of time
I’d like to take this opportunity to share these thoughts
- Other people determine your success, so treat everyone with respect
- Every person has skills and resources (sometimes hidden) but never to be underestimated, but always to be explored
- Let people be themselves; individuality is to be celebrated
- Don’t wait for motivation to arrive – just get on with it (my poor students have heard this phrase more than once)
- Do stuff that makes you happy; you might have to give it some creative thought.
So, to my clients, my colleagues, my students and supervisees – thank you
And to those of you I have yet to work with – let’s not waste any time and dive in.
