Introducing Will Steel
As one of the world’s most highly regarded transformational leaders,Will spent 21 years leading one of the world’s top personal and professional growth, training and development programs.
About
Having coached individuals from all walks of life - including CEO’s, top business executives, entrepreneurs, rocket scientists, politicians, senior military and civil service personnel, psychologists, world champion athletes, celebrities, musicians, and religious leaders from all denominations including Tibetan monks – Will has developed the unique ability to quickly identify what blocks people from being effective in producing breakthrough results. Listening from the ontological perspective, Will is able to guide you to see and conquer what you have been blind to and blocked by, enabling you to act free from your limiting beliefs and constraints.
Earlier in life Will graduated from the Royal Air Force College Cranwell with the Leadership Trophy, flew as a military pilot for 10 years, and as a commercial pilot for a further 2 years. While fully able to think on his feet in highly challenging real-life dangerous situations, the sensitivity and listening skills needed for the civilian and business world got honed in the Personal Development arena. With his ability to listen from the ontological perspective, Will delivers unprecedented results that will far exceed your expectations.
Will has led to over 90,000 people in 26 countries.
Will believes your unidentified past decisions limit what’s possible for you. With his coaching you can free yourself from those mental constrains, leaving you with limitless possibilities.
When you see what’s been blocking you, it’s so obvious. You won’t believe you couldn’t see it before.
A great analogy for this work is the fish who does not know it is swimming in water; it is just swimming. You need to pull it out of the water bowl and put it back in to have it get for itself, “Oh my Gosh, I’ve been living in water!” After that, the fish’s life is never the same again, even though it is still in the same water bowl, the experience is now a new one. Once pointed out, the previously ‘unseeable’ is now seen in such a way that the experience of life is never the same again. From now on the fish is aware it has something humans don’t have; fins to help it swim, gills to help it breathe, and skin that is sustainable in water. Now the fish experiences a power it didn’t know it had, humans can’t live underwater like this great and powerful fish.
With this work a whole new sense of power and transformation takes over, and you, like the fish, find yourself able to take actions you would never have thought to take, producing off the scale breakthrough results. These results can only come from organic coaching. You will look into the areas you choose to go to work on and then delve into whatever else comes up for you during the conversations, and when we say delve, we mean deep dive.
Who I Work With
I work with people who are looking to see what’s in the way of them producing the results they really want to produce in life.
Everyone has blocks, it’s ok. After seeing what’s been blocking you, you will be free and empowered to produce the results you want to produce in the real world. You need a highly tuned race car if you want to win the race.
I’ll put you in the driving seat of your life. Let’s go!
I don’t just listen to what you’re saying in the foreground, I also listen to what you’re not saying that’s in the background. It’s what’s going on in the background that shapes how you see the world. With my 24 years of coaching experience and being coached myself, I’ll have you see what’s blinding and blocking you from producing breakthrough results.
You have all the answers, you’ve just not been asked the right questions…
