Who am I?

John McManus “New You” Coach (Known to my friends as Tom)

In 2002 I started to work in a Shelter for the Homeless and I discovered that a very high percentage of the guest who had addictions and feeling low, had experienced abuse, violation, or trauma of some sort. Those experiences had caused them to seek some form of emotional relief – usually in the form of drugs or alcohol. I realized that the emotional pain from their experiences continually revisited them and kept them in a form of emotional prison. This prison prevented them from going forward in life and gain their self-esteem and sense of worthiness that every human is entitled to. When I became aware of the depth of this pain, I was determined to help them break free. I reviewed the few times when I had experienced bullying from at least one employer and the mindset and strategies that I used to deal with the situation. I shared those skills with my clients and watched them grow in confidence and esteem. I have always been a student of human nature and how the mind works – so I became aware of the bully’s mindset and the fact that they are usually the ones with the least confidence and are trying to boost their own ego by domineering others. How the mind works and what emotional needs we all have are what I share in my coaching plus the strategies that are needed to escape from the pain of stress, anxiety, abuse, trauma, and bereavement. I show emotional pain suffers how to regain and rebuild their confidence, set a pathway to the future, and become the truly worthwhile people they really are! My coaching methods are relaxed but sincere in the fact that I will truthfully tell you what I think about your situation and your mindset. There is no hidden agenda in my coaching – I tell it how it is! However, I conduct my coaching in a conversational manner, rather like a “chat” and I bring appropriate compassion to my sessions. My clients have told me that I am “natural” not “uptight professional” and they love it like that. I use some NLP techniques in my coaching, and I find it is beneficial. I also use CBT to enable my clients understand their emotions and how they have arrived at their present circumstances and stage in life. I will give you insights on how you are supplying your emotional needs and how it is affecting you.

I think what helps me understand Tom’s advice and support he gives to me, is because I can see that he has lived a life, which I can relate to. Not just someone reading from text, but from someone who has gone through lives up’s and down’s, and has knowledge, experience, and advice that can be passed onto others that are in need and willing to listen.
