Wow, when I read Geraldine Vinall's answers to the Pink Expertise questions, they suddenly made me feel all calm and relaxed! It's true! Geraldine's biggest strength and talent, is resilience, and I loved the bit she says about rising above daily pressures. She's right, we do have to do that, if we don't, if we completely immersed ourselves in daily stresses, we'd be too stressed to be effective. I also loved her views on choosing to be victims or survivors. This comes naturally to some people, but it can be taught too – when my clients take a shift in mind frame and put themselves in control of their choices, their options really do open up. Read Geraldine's answers below, are you a victim or a survivor?
1. What talent do you naturally have that makes you successful?
My natural talent is resilience! It’s important to take people seriously – especially yourself – but rise above the pressures of daily life that can otherwise rob you of your energy and confidence. We can’t choose what happens to us, but we can choose what we do next. The decision to be a victim or a survivor is a life choice that helps keep us cheerful and limit the effects of anxiety and stress.
2. When did you first realise that talent was going to help you and how do you use it?
When I qualified in hypnotherapy and NLP and started my practice, I realised that finding the light at the end of the tunnel was helpful to my clients. I specialise in enabling them to be anxiety-resistant and stress-proof. It’s not what we go through but how we deal with it that ultimately makes us who we are. Learning to be positive and self-nurturing ensures resilience through challenging times; while protection and growth of self-esteem ensures the confidence we all need for survival and success.
