From Finance to Flourishing: How John Grinder‘s Coaching Techniques Transformed a Broker’s Life
LONDON – A financial broker’s unexpected journey into the world of coaching, sparked by the teachings of John Grinder – the man who trained Tony Robbins – has yielded remarkable personal and professional results. Andy Ramage,formerly focused on running a successful brokerage,shares how a course with Grinder unlocked a powerful understanding of the human mind and ultimately reshaped his life.
Initially skeptical, Ramage anticipated a hefty price tag and a trip to Los Angeles to learn from Grinder. “I thought, ‘I am going to have to pay £100k and fly to LA,'” he recalls. A quick online search revealed a surprising option: a course in Croydon, London. ”It was the place in the world I expected to find the world’s best coach trainer,” Ramage admits, but felt it was “meant to be.”
The training proved transformative. Ramage, though initially uninterested in becoming a coach himself, embraced the exercises and teachings. He discovered a core principle: life is fundamentally a “beliefs game.” Grinder’s method emphasized that while external events are uncontrollable, one’s beliefs about those events are entirely within personal control.
“It was so simple,” ramage explains. By consciously choosing more empowering beliefs, he began to see tangible improvements. He lost 42lbs,overcame alcohol dependency,and experienced a renewed enjoyment of life. Concurrently, his financial brokerage flourished, growing seven times larger in half the time compared to previous growth rates.
Eventually, Ramage transitioned away from his brokerage career, driven by a desire to share his newfound knowledge. He founded several businesses dedicated to optimizing human performance, all stemming from his understanding of how the brain functions.
“That’s why I believe, and I am biased, that coaching is a superpower!” Ramage concludes, inviting readers to share their own perspectives.
