Finding Her Why Again | Viki | Shift Exchange 1

Viki came to this Exchange carrying a lot, and with one fear she put into words: "I'm afraid I've lost my why." Her childhood was one almost no one knew about, and she built a full, accomplished life anyway, helped along by a few adults who believed in her at just the right moment. In this Shift Exchange, Rob helps her find what is in her own hands. You can't fix everything at once, so pick one thing. For Viki that is a practice of her own, helping other people, mapped out on a One Page Business Plan. Along the way they talk about the adults who change a child's route, why forgiveness frees the one who forgives, and how changing the way you look at things changes the things you look at. Then Rob and Kris look back on the hour in the Shift Review. "If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." Shift Happens Here is lifestyle, life and business coaching with Rob Ferguson. In a Shift Exchange, Rob coaches a guest through one shift they want to make, live, and then he and Kris review it together. Shift Happens Here is coaching, not therapy.
