Your Love Matters
The stories, below, share personal experiences of working with the Point of You to get out of our own way, manifest the possibilities we most desire in our businesses and lives and ... and make a difference, while we're at it.

What were you struggling with and/or seeking when we started working together?

First, I tried to find a position in another ground-breaking start-up, where my strengths and experience in branding, strategic marketing, sales and operations management all could be maximized. Then I looked for work that focused in just one or another of these skill areas. Inevitably...

What were you struggling with and/or seeking when we started working together? When we first starting co-conspiring, I was a recent college graduate working in the tree care industry with a team who did not share the same vision for our company's future. When I contacted Kim, I was expecting her to help me figure out how talk some sense into these guys.

"See Your Joy"
What is your Point of You phrase? Get in the picture.
What were you struggling with and/or seeking when we started working together? Before working together, I was struggling with everything in my business. I didn't understand what set my work apart from other photographers. I didn't know how to set my prices. I did a lot of looking to see what everyone else was doing and trying to position myself in the middle. When I did talk about pricing with clients, I felt anxious because I had no confidence behind the model.

What is your Point of You phrase? Indulge your self.
What were you struggling with and/or seeking when we started working together? When Kim and I first started working together one-on-one, I was in the middle of what I call an "existential meltdown." I had just begun to really look at my unconscious wounds and ways I was diminishing myself. I felt lost, knowing the motivations that were moving me forward in my career and relationships were unhealthy but not knowing how to heal them. During our first session, she helped me see that even though I had experienced painful interactions in my relationships...

What is your Point of You phrase? Ask yourself.
What were you struggling with and/or seeking when we started working together? I was around a year and a half into a "new" job. In that time, I experienced a seizure and (related) felt like I enjoyed my job, but that there was something really not working for me personally.
