The I CAN METHOD™

Life is too short to stay stuck! You are never too old and it is never too late to realise your goals and ambitions.

Introducing The I CAN Method™, Coaching Methodology

I CAN METHOD SARAH PITTENDRIGH TRADEMARKED

The I CAN Method™ is a success ladder of 4 empowering steps, Ignite, Clarify, Action and Nurture. Within each step there are well thought out questions and exercises that I have curated using my own lived experience, which are designed to encourage you to pause, reflect, look at the landscape of your life and business and to help you to think on a deeper and broader level, to bring clarity and focus, so you can make the informed growth decisions that will take you forward and onto a purposeful path.

You may find yourself peeling through layers of back history, revisiting some deep roots that have been the cause of any self limiting beliefs you may hold about yourself? If those roots were planted in childhood, as an adult, you may wish to use this time to reframe them, take the lesson and then remove the blockage thus creating space for growth thinking. You may feel so empowered going through this process. In my experience, pardon the pun, this was the route to freedom.

The most important thing is to understand this method is here to support you, not to cause you overwhelm. It is kind and sympathetic, but equally it is powerful and at times you may be faced with uncomfortable questions, but the uncomfortable zone is where the magic happens, its where the lightbulb moments fire up.

“It is never too late and you are never too old to design a life you love, the life you deserve.

The Four Steps to the I Can Method…

Step 1 – IGNITE

How are you feeling? Your business performance is often a reflection of how you feel? If you don’t have the energy to run your business, it won’t be long before your business is running you. What is draining your energy? What is dampening your spark? Are you stuck, at a crossroads? Lean on me and my wealth of experience. Together we will brainstorm using well thought out questions to help you unravel your thoughts and discover where you are now, why? What you no longer want and how you want your future to look.

Step 2 – CLARIFY

I love a SWOT analysis, it really gets you thinking. In this section I will be helping you to complete one on you and one on your business/goals. We will look at Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. Gathering resources. What have you got, and what do you need to get you to that goal? When do you want to be there by? We will discover using my well thought out questions to help you think on a broader level.

Step 3 – ACTION

Together we will create a strategic plan of small steps that will bring your goal gently to you. No overwhelm, no burnout, no procrastination only results within the time-frame you desire. Think of a jigsaw puzzle, the picture is on the front of what your goal looks like, inside are lots of small pieces that will make up the picture. Piece by piece, step by step you will slowly bring that picture to life.

Step 4 – NURTURE

A checklist for you and your business to keep you energised and accountable. Energy creates motivation, motivation creates inspiration and inspiration leads to innovation and growth. I will share the life and business hacks that I have used to keep me motivated and on track to realise my ambitious goals.

I now share this powerful and yet straightforward method with business owners and executives to help them reclaim and realise their big ambitious goals, to get back into a “growth mindset” when pressure and expectation has chipped away at their confidence, passion and excitement and I would love to support you.

Developing The I CAN Method™ Coaching Methodology

The I Can Method™ coaching methodology forms the basis of my empowering mentoring programmes that help business owners and executives maintain/reclaim their growth mindset and deliver their most ambitious and meaningful goals.

At 38 I was a bankrupt single mum on income support, having lost a 7-figure business which I was a partner in, in 2008. It is my rocky journey of transformation from hardship back to becoming a multi-award winning multiple founder, coupled with two life threatening cancer diagnoses, that has taught me the most valuable lessons in life and business, the most prevalent, the power in maintaining a growth mindset and this is what I want to teach you.

The I CAN Method™ is the result of many hours of scribbling spider charts at my dining room table where I was planning a way to break free from my self-limiting beliefs, build a growth mindset, get off income support and save my home from being repossessed.

Life is too short to stay stuck! You are never too old and it is never too late to realise your goals and ambitions.

“It changed my life”

This powerful and yet straightforward method gave me the space to slow down my whirring thoughts, unravel, gain clarity which allowed my inspiration to flow, time to reframe my goals and develop a strategic plan that resulted in me creating my multi award winning, wedding and event styling business Simply Bows and Chair Covers, which I franchised to 9 UK offices and meant I could secure our family home.

It supported me to process and deal with the enormity of what I was told when I was diagnosed twice with life threatening malignant melanoma, which thankfully was successfully treated.

The same methodology I used to carry out a feasibility study on a multi 7 figure property project that would see my husband and I transform the redundant buildings on our family farm into 8 beautiful stone executive homes.
