When I was living in my home country, I worked for a large fitness studio network. Over time, as is often the case, I started to notice the same clients coming to my group classes regularly. One woman, who attended my classes two to three times a week, once came up to me and asked, “Olesia, do you think I’m doing the exercises correctly? Is my technique okay?” Overall, her technique was fine, but I could see during the sessions that she was getting very tired – her movements made it clear. I asked her why she was asking about her form, and she said she was training regularly but wasn’t seeing any results. As her instructor, it pained me to hear this, so I decided to dig deeper.

When clients seek therapy, they often feel defeated and need guidance to reevaluate their goals. Remaining in a mindset of lack can be unproductive. I encourage clients to start each day with gratitude by identifying three things they appreciate to develop an abundance mindset. It’s easy to focus on what’s going wrong and overlook the small blessings in life. By cultivating a grateful attitude, you can better navigate disappointments without internalizing them. Remember, you can rebrand yourself anytime; believing in your ability to confront fear is essential. Developing self-compassion enables you to maintain a state of gratitude and embrace life’s possibilities. Read more>>

While I understood her reasoning, I also recognized the potential downside of waiting. Read more>>

One of the best pieces of advice I ever gave to a client involved a business owner selling a niche manufacturing company in the industrial sector. The owner had built a highly successful operation, but the business wasn’t initially positioned in a way that maximized its appeal to buyers. After reviewing their operation, I advised them to emphasize the scalability of their business, particularly its potential for automation. Additionally, I suggested reorganizing their financials to present a clearer picture of their profitability. This meant breaking out one-time expenses and creating projections to demonstrate how a new owner could increase revenue with minimal additional investment. Read more>>
