Abundance of Styles
Posted in Abundance Treasure Hunt on 12/07/2009 12:59 pm by Zahra
Today, I want to share a story about style. I was in the mall yesterday and stopped at a jewelry counter. I was admiring the jewelry at a stall when I commented, “I wonder which ones of these will go with my dress.” A woman at the counter overheard me and asked if I could help her decide what should she wear with her dress. She shared a story about a dress that she has always liked, “but it is strapless and kind of out of fashion,” in her opinion.
I looked at her and said, “You know, fashion fades. Style is internal – it’s permanent. It is an authentic expression of who you are.” She was excited and told me having heard that, she was looking forward to wearing what she wanted to wear. We matched jewelry with her dress and the smile on her face was brilliant.
In my coaching practice, I coach a woman in her business matters and more; I coach her as an entire person. I had a client once who had been in the corporate world for so long that the only clothes in her wardrobe were navy, white and beige. When we began to work on her feminity, she started to risk wearing purples and pinks. After working together for six months, she came to see me at a speaking engagement, and chose to wear a pink dress with pumps. She told her 4-year-old girl that she was going to see her coach today and that she wanted to wear pink. It brought tears of joy and gratitude to my eyes. I felt touched that I had helped her become more of who she wanted to be.
We have been trained to fit into the outside model of business for so long that we sometimes forget what we want and place more value on external approval than on personal approval.
As a part of my one year platinum program, I am looking forward to adding a special feature, a photo shot with my favourite photographer, for my clients when they come to visit me in Vancouver. I am excited to be helping women express their inner self to fully engage in their life and business.
I would encourage you to pay attention to your inner style and celebrate the abundance of your own style. Claim it, live it and own it!
