Yes, someone should have told us. Jack Pransky expands on this in his book “Somebody Should Have Told Us”... “How come nobody told us how our experience of life is created – how we create for ourselves joyful or miserable lives, peaceful or stressful lives, beautiful or depressed or angry lives.” Why? Because they didn’t know! Our parents, their parents, teachers, coaches, mentors didn’t know. “If they had known they would have told us!”

Unfortunately, most people still don’t understand how we create our reality and our lives and chase after solutions believing that we live our lives at the mercy of our circumstances... from the Outside-In.

Understanding that we live our lives 100% from the Inside-Out has been a revelation personally and for my coaching work with my clients over the years; the understanding that our feelings come directly from our thoughts and that it is neurologically impossible to experience an emotion without firstly having a thought. The understanding that we all have innate wisdom, love, well-being and much more which is accessible at all times, when we quieten our ego mind and realise that our thoughts are not real.

George Pransky (brother of Jack) uses a delightful metaphor that helps us to understand this when he explains... “Our wisdom is always playing like a soft flute in the background, but when the brass band is playing full force in our head, we can’t hear the soft flute. As soon as the band in our mind stops, even for a second, the flute-wisdom can be heard, because it never stops playing in the first place.”

Adrian Brady - Managing Director at Escape Recruitment

“I have known, worked with, and sought guidance from Charlie over many years and across different seasons of my life. His support has often come at times when I’ve been under pressure or navigating particularly challenging situations. While the process of working with Charlie is not always comfortable, it is consistently effective, and ultimately, extremely rewarding.

Charlie has a calm, patient approach that creates the space needed to properly explore the root of an issue. Rather than offering quick answers, Charlie helped me to work through my own thoughts, shining a light on perspectives and patterns that may not have been obvious to me previously. That process has given me a deeper understanding of the choices I’ve made when under pressure.

Each time I’ve worked with Charlie, I’ve come away with greater clarity, about myself, and how I relate to others. He has helped me better understand my role, the role of those around me, and provided the understanding that allows me to recognise, diagnose, and respond more effectively in future situations. Through my work with him I’ve found I can view challenges in multiple ways, feel more grounded, in control, and at ease. Charlie’s influence has had a lasting and meaningful impact on both my personal and professional life.”
