Life in the 21st century has become challenging for most people and COVID has only exacerbated the range and severity of the issues.
Relationship pressures, the impact of technology, isolation, work-life balance, WFH, parenting, workplace demands, addictions, and stress management are just a few.
Just because you are struggling to cope with any, some, or all of these challenges does not mean you have a mental health disorder and need to see a psychologist- most of whom have full books anyway until later in 2022.
What you do need is access to a qualified, competent, external perspective who can help you evaluate the situation; analyse the causal factors; explore possible remedies; and motivate/support you through a process of improvement.
Whether the issue is in a personal or professional context, problems tend to worsen over time, and so the earlier the intervention, the better.
You may be a Manager tossing up how much flexibility to give employees or how to initiate a difficult conversation with an under-performing staff member.
You maybe someone who’s trying to work out how to resolve conflict with an intimate partner; how to manage the use of technology with children; or how to restore resilience when you feel overwhelmed.
Both workplace and at-home lives are fertile grounds for struggling with knowing how to resolve minor and major issues, before they lead to additional problems.
Talking things through with family, friends and colleagues may sometimes be a good start, but there are times when for any number of reasons, you might not want to do that, or conclude that they don’t have the requisite experience or independence to offer expert, unbiased opinion.
All of us need Your Optioneer at different stages to enlist the creative input that is necessary both to properly comprehend a situation and devise possible ways to move the game forward, and this often involves only one or two sessions to build confidence that the issue is finally being addressed and will lead to resolution.
Your Optioneer is skilled at helping you experience the necessary “aha moments” rather than the continuation of stuckness and inertia.
It does not matter what the challenge is, Your Optioneer will make the positive difference you need, without the stigma.
