It Re-ignited the Fire Inside Of Me
"Bruno has been a big part of this journey in my life. He has helped me fulfill many of my life ambitions, and answered many confusing questions. I went to Bruno feeling a little lost, confused and lacking self-confidence. Within the first few sessions, I felt an instant connection and strong energy when I communicated with Bruno. He has shown given me guidance and re-instilled the self confidence that I needed to get me through this stage of my life’s journey. His dedication and passion for people truly make him a unique individual. His simple common sense approach is the intellectual mechanism to help one see life for what it is and not how others see your life. Taking control of my identity and knowing who I am have become effective strategies that Bruno helped me develop, understand and believe in who I am – the ability to remove myself from everything and see who and what exactly I am! Each and every time I left Bruno, I felt so empowered and motivated that I believe it reignited the fire inside of me. Now I have my vision, know what I want, when I want it, it’s up to me to get it. I will choose the path. It may be dirty and unclear, but it will be that much more rewarding when completed! Good Luck!"
Finding Your Life Purpose – The answer is closer than you think
My journey as a life coach started in late 2006, after resigning from a Fortune 500 Pharmaceutical Company. The last two years of my career before getting in to life coaching I lived in a hotel in a small town in the state of New Jersey. I lived there alone away from friends and family. Being away from home alone in a different country with nothing to do left me with a lot of time to think about the meaning of life and the purpose of it.
I couldn’t imagine working for someone else for 40 years, only dreaming of a dream while the people I worked for got to live theirs. It just didn’t seem right. Something else that bothered me was the idea of working hard until age 65, and then retiring. “Really! That’s how long I need to work for before having time to enjoy life?” That definitely didn’t seem right to me, not at all, in fact it made me anxious thinking about it. So I spent countless nights after working reading countless books trying to find a different way of life.
I read Tipping Point, Blink, Cracking The Millionaire Code, Chicken Soup For The Soul, One Minute Millionaire, Success Principles, Power v.s Force, Think and Grow Rich, the list goes on and on. I fell disappointed after reading each book. I was hoping to find the answer in one of them – my purpose – my next journey, the answer I was looking for. Instead what I found was another author writing about similar concepts that are common sense. “Everyone knows those concepts, tell me something I don’t know.” I’d say to myself, while losing hope of ever finding the answer.
Then one day in early 2006, a friend who lived back home decided she had enough of working for someone else and quit her job. “Heck, if she can do it so can I.” I said to myself. So I submitted my resignation. I gave them 8 weeks – 2 months notice that I would be leaving and returning for home. I gave-up my career and returned home to nothing. I literally jumped into a pool of nothing. Talk about being impulsive.
I did end up working for a national energy company when I first got home for a short period of time, but I just couldn’t do it anymore. I couldn’t work for someone else, so I quit after three months. With no income, no job and only with a promise of entrepreneurship – an idea to create a pet apparel company, I was desperate to survive. And so I created my own job for the first several months, consulting, providing my expertise in Strategic Sourcing & Vendor Management: negotiating and finalizing multi-million dollar agreements for companies without an in-house sourcing group. It was a gold mine because only big companies have sourcing professionals. Small to medium businesses don’t and are vulnerable to vendor strategies unless someone with experience, like me, could help them negotiate favorable agreements. So it wasn’t difficult finding business. But it was more of the same –It was very unfulfilling.
Then one late night in October of 2006, a friend and I were having drinks chatting about life at my place. She was struggling with a situation and had asked me for advice. I instantly saw what she was doing that she couldn’t see and I knew that if I could show her she would figure it out on her own and develop skills that would benefit her later. So I asked her a series of probing questions. Each one probing more into how her beliefs but more importantly why she be
lieved what she did getting to the root of her problem – not the surface level cause. And with each answer it revealed a clue unlocking the answer and the solution of her problem. And that’s when she looked at me and said, “You need to become a life coach. Your really good at it”, she said. Those words vibrated in my head like nothing else ever did. They sent me into my past recalling every single memory I had of me helping someone. I have memories of me asking question and leading people to their own conclusions from age 10. I have memories of being in my teens helping friend overcome personal issues. I even was a 360 Business Coach for the Pharmaceutical Company I worked for. OH MY GOD!!!!! I’ve been life coaching my whole life and I didn’t even know it. BINGO-BINGO-BINGO!!!!!

The Man Simply Knows His Stuff
"The world is filled with very successful executives who for decades focus every waking minute on professional accolades & professional development, or tend to give more than they receive. And one fine day, realize they haven’t take the time out to focus on personal development in terms of a better balance in life, to be in touch with their spiritual side, their inner self, and possibly even lose touch with the fun side of life. That would describe me in the past. I’ve known executives who’ve had a new outlook to life after meeting a coach or a mentor, but never really bought into it. Continued curiosity and a need to rediscover myself, drew me to test a life coach. I came across Bruno, and in a few decisive moments I knew he was the man, and this was a journey I’d enjoy for many reasons. First his personality exudes authenticity and geniality. Secondly, the man simply knows his stuff, has this uncanny ability to read between the lines, and zeroes in instantly on the underlying triggers. In his structured approach he steers you to address issues head on; challenges you to challenge yourself; opens your mind to new possibilities; helps you understand behaviours/experiences and patterns in your life; gets you in touch with yourself; fuels a sense of purpose and passion, and escorts you to chart a new course to life. Throughout the journey he never judges, but relentlessly encourages and empowers you. He’s truly a brilliant, genuine and a humane person with an infectious enthusiasm to make you seize the inborn potential within you. I’ve had the privilege and joy to work with him, and have renewed sense of awareness and purpose."
