Are you in need of a personal reno? I have some tools to share!
My dad was very talented at fixing things and problem solving. He was known at work as Tinker Tom. He was always taking things apart and tinkering with them, fixing them, and building new things. He built a one row planter that lots of farmers borrowed each year, a giant coffee warmer from a water heater for Kiwanas events, to name a few.
He once told me when I was marveling at his building & fixing skills that having the right tools is the key. I think that is an understatement, but I see the truth in it. Buying that new impact driver this winter instead of using my 1987 drill was a game-changer. The right tool made a HUGE difference in my project.
My dad had a big workshop in the barn full of tools. This picture reminds me of it :-). He had tool boxes mounted on his truck bed that were packed. He had a workbench in the basement overflowing with tools. The man had A LOT of tools. And he was able to create great things with them – remodel houses, fix most anything that was broken, build beautiful furniture.
My sister got Dad’s tinkering talents, not me. But this morning I was thinking about how I have his talents with humans, instead of objects. I like to tinker with people’s minds and help them remodel, fix, and build new realities. And having the right tools is really important. I have so many tools from the past 30 years in the self-development business. My toolshed is packed. I have some in the trunk of my car, and in my basement workshop.
My 1:1 coaching process is just like when my dad and I remodeled my first house: we went over the plans together and came up with a design. I shared some ideas. He shared some ideas. We came up with a plan together that was better than either of our individual ideas. Then we grabbed the tools and got to work. As we worked, we realized adjustments needed to be made. That old house had some secrets in the walls that we weren’t expecting, so we moved the closet. We came up with some clever ideas along the way that weren’t in the original plan. We adjusted again.
It was a great partnership. We had a blast doing it. It was hard and messy work. Sometimes it was frustrating. But we made it fun and we created a super great space.
Just like that house project, in my 1:1 coaching we come up with a plan together. Then we start remodeling and creating something new and beautiful. We run into issues along the way to work through. We make adjustments. We revise the plan. We get a new tool from the toolshed that makes the job easier.
You need a lot of tools for a big remodel project. And I have lots of tools. Breathwork, meditation, communication wheel, connecting with your guides, movement, CTFAR, and LOTS more.
If you’re looking to remodel your life – maybe it’s just a room update, maybe it’s a whole house reno down to the studs - I love reno projects! We’ll work together to come up with a plan and we’ll work side by side to make your dream a reality. It’s not easy work, but it’s worth it. I have a lot of tools that I am happy to share to make the job easier. And we’ll have fun doing it together!
