A struggle you’ve had for years can change in weeks.
Once you stop fighting it and take a smarter approach. I’m Anand Rao. I work on why capable people stay stuck, and I build the methods other practitioners use. What I’m after is Surprisingly Elegant Change: a struggle carried for years, gone in weeks, without the fight you expected.
The same work, seen from two sides.
You’re already successful, and stuck on the one thing success hasn’t fixed.
The launch that keeps slipping, the decision put off for years, the argument that keeps repeating. Trying harder tends to keep a stubborn pattern in place.
If this is youAlready skilled, and ready for the next level of change work, in yourself and with clients.
A coach uses methods and processes. Someone has to invent those, and that is what I do. Psychotherapists and psychiatrists come to me for their own development and for new capability with clients.
If this is your workI trained as a theoretical physicist at Cambridge.
Working out what was happening in oil fields deep underground from a few indirect measurements.
Studying something even more complicated: how people change. Three of those years teaching at a coaching school, around thirty coaches a week.
How long a pattern has run doesn’t tell you how long change takes.
One developmental coach describes a pattern held for about five years, resolved within twelve weeks: “I’ve made more progress in 6 weeks than in 6 years.”
Don’t use willpower to fight your current system, use your intelligence to evolve your current system by progressively reorganizing it.Anand Rao
