When I first discovered coaching, I was curious about its benefits so I arranged to have my first sessions with Rasheed in 2007. I recall his friendly, spiritual and yet, firm questioning pushing me into areas of my life to which I was initially resistant.
I was frustrated with many things in my life at that time, however among other things, it soon became clear that I had been focusing on problems as opposed to solutions and what I actually wanted and so I started giving myself permission to achieve things I wanted. This may sound simple but it was a pivotal shift for me.
Another key memory of our sessions was a drawing he asked me to do of how things were at the time and also how I wanted them to be. I had distant, seemingly unattainable dreams of living in the south of Spain teaching English and writing songs living happily with my wife.
It’s now summer 2014 and I live in Granada in the south of Spain enjoying life teaching English, songwriting and running a coaching business which I started soon after my sessions with Rasheed as I wanted to help other people in the way that coaching and Rasheed had helped me.
I still have the drawing from the first sessions and having now achieved almost everything in that one, after a recent session with Rasheed, I have started a new drawing to see what I can achieve next…
