Healing Journeys with Suzie Daggett
I recently had the opportunity to meet with a friend and hear about her life journey and transformation from a Human Resource (HR) consultant to a Life Coach. Janice Knight, of YRCoach, has done an amazing job blending her business talent with life coaching to positively change businesses and personal lives. She is able to help people from top notch CEO’s to us ordinary business owners. Janice incorporates a wide variety of skills in her practice to help her clients find that stuck emotional spot, remove it and replace it with joy and gratitude – she is infectious!
What is your current work?
I am a Peace and Passion Life Coach – this means I help individuals get what they want and get rid of what they do not want. As a practicing HR executive and consultant for 20 years and full time life coach for the last 6 years, I’ve become intimately familiar with people - their successes and their struggles. I work mostly with successful people, including business owners, attorneys, professionals. Most of my clients are bright, know what they want and are good at planning, but, they get stuck in the implementation because of fears, self-doubt, negative thoughts or just plain bad habits. Since I am not a therapist, I do not diagnose or treat emotional or mental illnesses. Rather, I begin with the premise that people are creative, resourceful and whole and together, we work from there.
What is Life Coaching?
It is a collaborative solution-focused, results-oriented and systematic process. Coaching is really about unlocking people’s potential to maximize their own performance. Not everyone is ready for coaching; some folks really do need therapy; others just need some tools and support to get rid of some bad habits and learned negative behaviors.
What is so unusual about your techniques?
Since I am passionate about human potential and peak performance, I am always researching and learning new and innovative (sometimes unusual) ways to “get over yourself” quickly so you can move on to get what you want. More professionals are collaborating these days on research to understand how the brain, heart and other physical body systems work together to create thoughts and emotions, which in turn lead to actions and reactions, health and disease. This is the arena of change I work with.
What tools and techniques do you use?
Einstein informed us that we are made up of atoms, which are nothing more than vibrating energy. Although you see skin around your body and this seems like a real boundary that separates you from other folks, in fact, this skin is still vibrating energy. Thus, we are all connected - our energy touches each other. Energy vibrates at different levels, with thoughts having energy, emotions having energy. Negative thoughts have a lower vibration; positive thoughts have a higher vibration. How does this help my clients “get over themselves”? I introduce them to new ways of thinking about how they can impact and change their thoughts and emotions, thus their actions and results. I introduce clients to: The Law of Attraction - a universal law that energy attracts like energy; thus what you focus on expands; Emotional Freedom Technique - a simple tapping technique to remove negative emotions based on blocked energy;
Heart Math - uses biofeedback techniques to get heart and brain in congruence for more positive thinking, and Hypnosis. Because some of these techniques are so new and unusual, I ask clients if they are willing to suspend disbelief and try something easy, that doesn’t hurt, takes little time and might just possibly produce fantastic results. Most try with some skepticism at first and become converts after using the methods and seeing how effective they are.
How does changing the energy of a situation work?
Here are a few examples: Business Owner - working too hard, overwhelmed, resigned, bored. I helped him get clear on what he wanted; create boundaries to give him time to rejuvenate; work on limiting beliefs using EFT; attract more profitable business using the Law of Attraction. Results: doubled income, cut work time by1/3, no longer bored, using best skills, delegating the rest, future is compelling, more healthy.
Sales - single mother, 2 children. Tired all the time, fearful, not doing well in job, future looks bleak, screaming at kids. Tie in her future with her values by looking at past successes and passions; Law of Attraction to focus on sales results; and EFT to get past the fear; Hypnosis to be able to make sales calls comfortably. Results: Client won Sales Award two months in a row, her kids no longer ask her why she is sad; got out of bad relationship; and, with her therapists’ approval, off of medication.
What do you get out of your work?
Because I absolutely love people and truly believe in their amazing potential, I’m like a human sparkler who ignites the passion in others, helping them resurrect and fulfill dreams while reclaiming their peace of mind. While this is easier said than done, my clients and I have fun in the process as they grow, learn and move towards a more fulfilling life.
