Are you a highly educated professional that struggles with some aspect of emotional well-being like overwhelm, depression, anxiety, or imposter syndrome?
If so you’re not alone!
To be a bit vulnerable with you.
Even though I have 3 college degrees (including a Doctorate degree in Physical Therapy), there was a time when nothing I learned in school was helping me to thrive in life.
I did what everyone tells you to do to be successful. I studied and worked my butt off. I got the good grades, degrees, professional credentials, car, clothes, relationship, and budding business.
But I wasn’t prepared for what happened next.
The business failed, the relationship failed, and I was left heart-broken, alone, depressed and deeply in debt. I had completely lost my spark and zest for life.
I can dissect a cadaver and tell you where every muscle and nerve is located, but I missed the college class on “What to do when your life gets flipped turned upside down”
A Turning Point in my Ability to Adult 🙂
A huge turning point came for me when I started my career as a corporate health and wellness coach for employees at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts.
Because of my background as a physical therapist and personal trainer, I initially leaned heavily on my education in anatomy and physiology to advise and support my clients well-being.
But beyond diet and exercise, many clients started coming to me with concerns about stress and mental well-being, so I started obsessing about positive psychology and read everything I could find from the brightest minds in the field.
As I worked and studied to support others emotional well-being, I started learning lessons to support myself. And it has been through coaching and self-coaching that I’ve been able to overcome depression and regain my own spark and zest for life.
It might sound cheesy, but now I have the joy and optimism I had as a teenager, but with way more wisdom, lol.
I literally laugh out loud randomly and don’t use an alarm clock because my body just pops me up full of energy with the sunrise.
Gratitude, Peace of Mind, Joy, and Inspiration are daily occurrences, and despite on-going challenges and a lack of perfection, I truly feel like I’m thriving in life!
It’s Your Time to Thrive!
I’ve supported over a thousand people 1:1 as coach, thousands more as a teacher and speaker, and I’d be honored to support you.
The world needs you at your best, and because I know what it feels like to struggle with my mental health, I’m super passionate about helping other highly educated professionals to transform their emotional world so they can live and lead with more energy, joy, confidence and peace of mind.
You’re an amazing person with strengths, talents, and a whole list of accomplishments to your name.
Maybe you’ve been…
- A successful student who earned academic awards and multiple college degrees
- An athlete who mastered a sport or took your body to new limits
- An entrepreneur who started from nothing and built a successful company
- A gifted musician, singer, or artist that spent thousands of hours honing your skill
- A dedicated worker that climbed the corporate ladder and created a great career life
- A parent or caregiver with the compassion, wisdom, and skill to uplift and support others
Your life is filled with stories of your ability to learn and grown and achieve!
With dedication and intellect, you’ve mastered many things in your life already.
But maybe something happened to throw you off your mental game, and the one thing that’s missing in your life right now is mastery of your Inner Emotional Game.
Mastering Your Inner Emotional Game
What do Stress, Burn Out, Anxiety, Worry, Low Confidence, and Imposter Syndrome all have in common?
They are all negative emotional states.
And here’s the good news…
You have agency over your emotional states, and one of the best ways to combat a negative state is to get better at generating a positive state.
When you learn to master your emotions you can replace burn out, anxiety, and Imposter Syndrome with joy, energy, confidence, and serenity.
Changing the Outside versus Changing the Inside
In our society we tend to hyper-focus on achieving well-being by changing something on the outside.
- Change the clothes
- Change the hair
- Change the scale
- Change the car
- Change the job
- Change the house
- Change the spouse
- Change other people
Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that there is no value in changing things that are outside of you.
But, all of your experience is internal, which means that thriving, well-being, and happiness is created internally.
This explains why…
You can achieve something like getting a promotion, earning a degree, or completing another certification but still not feel confident in your ability.
This explains why…
You can lose 20 pounds and get to a healthy weight, but still hate your body.
This explains why…
You can have all the money in the world, but still be depressed and languish in life.
Focusing on changing the outside sometimes leads to thriving, but the internal path is a more predictable and sustainable way to live a life that brings you joy, excitement, fulfillment, and peace.
Upgrading your inner emotional skills is the best way to upgrade your emotional experiences.
College Teaches us to Thrive in our Careers but Not Emotionally
Since they don’t teach us about emotional thriving in college, most us learn from the “School of Hard Knocks”.
But Emotional Thriving is a collection of mental skills that can be learned, and Thriving Emotionally flows from positive mental habits that can be developed.
Imagine living a life filled with meaning and purpose that instead of draining you, actually energizes you!
You wake up each day and you’re filled with confidence and joy, and at the end of the day a sense of serenity washes over you as you look back and realize you’re living with purpose and passion. Imagine you’re living your best life now!
All of this and more is possible for you in the right moment, with the right plan, and the right coach.
Setting the Table for Growth
In my 10+ years of coaching, I’ve found 3 things really help people to grow.
- Knowledge of what to do
- A structured way to practice and do what you know
- Support
The Biggest Mistake That Smart People Make Regarding Personal Growth
When we are trying to grow and improve, one big mistake we make is that we stop at knowledge.
Sometimes when we learn something new, it feels like we’ve solved the problem. We read a book, research the internet, talk to wise counsel, or seek a trained professional. And once we “know” the “answer”, we get a feeling of “yay, we did it”.
But knowledge that is not acted upon is less useful. We can know that gratitude supports emotional well-being but if we never practice gratitude, then we don’t benefit from that knowledge.
Our emotional states are driven by our mental skills and our mental habits.
And the only way develop skills and habits is through practice.
Practicing for Emotional Thriving
When was the last time you intentionally worked out your mindset and exercised your thinking?
We all know that a key to a healthy physical body is to exercise our muscles, heart, and lungs.
Well, a key to a healthy mental and emotional life is to workout our mindset and exercise our thinking.
- If your gratitude muscles are weak, you’re less able to carry life’s inevitable disappointments.
- If your hope muscles are weak, you won’t be able to climb the mountain of success.
- If your self-appreciation muscles are weak, you won’t be able to push yourself past your fears and doubts.
You can transform your emotional experiences by working out your mindset.
Transform Your Emotional Life
In working with busy professionals, I know people need an easy and convenient way to learn the positive psychology skills that lead to thriving.
And I also know that people need a supported and structured way to train their brains to create a thriving mindset while also developing thriving mental habits.
And that’s why I created… The Emotional Makeover Masterclass!
What is the Emotional Makeover Masterclass
The Emotional Makeover Masterclass is my signature 12 week 1:1 coaching program designed to dramatically transform any negative emotional state, including burn out, anxiety, overwhelm, Imposter Syndrome, low confidence, depression etc… into a more positive emotional state.
It’s like a college class on thriving emotionally combined with a workout program for your mindset and 1:1 support in the form of coaching.
The program uses the best research from positive psychology, and it is based on my 10+ years of coaching professionals 1:1 to get more energy, joy, confidence, and peace of mind.
And I am confident that I can help you too!
You might be like my client Shelly.
Shelly’s Story
Shelly struggled with depression for what seemed like her whole life, and despite being highly educated and successful in her career, she had just about given up on being anything but a depressed and unhappy person.
When she joined the Emotional Makeover Masterclass she really committed to doing the work and used her strengths and intellect to write a whole new story of what was possible for herself.
3 weeks in, she mentioned that her mom had started to notice a difference in her attitude, and by week 6 she had a major breakthrough. During our week 6 coaching session, she paid me the highest compliment when she said that my course had been life-changing for her!
I promptly reminded her that she was the one doing the work. She was the one journaling and thinking and digging deep. She was the one learning and practicing and dreaming and growing.
I simply provided a framework and some support, but she was the true hero of the story!
In her own words…
“I have never been a “glass-half-full” person; I needed a thoroughly researched case for having a more optimistic outlook! Then I needed exercises, practices, and coaching sessions that taught me how to change my mindset without abandoning my analytical nature or realistic perspective. I started the Mindset Makeover because I already had the other elements that I’d strived for in my life, but I often wasn’t happy on a day-to-day basis. I’m so grateful to Charles for building this curriculum and conveying his extensive well-being knowledge in a way that was actionable and attainable for me. Working with him was truly a life changing experience.” Shelly M.
If it worked for Shelly, it can work for you too.
