88 per cent of thirtysomething professionals feel they are not living up to their potential

Almost nine out of ten thirtysomething professionals feel they are not living up to their full potential as they hit a 'quarter-life crisis, a new online survey conducted by life coaching organisation LifeCoachForYou shows.

London, UK (PRWEB) August 27, 2004 -- According to UK coach Steve Errey, "Our twenties are a blur of opportunities, and are typically about chasing a career, pursuing money, finding a relationship and generally having as much fun as possible. Its when people hit their thirties that they tend to shift their focus and look for ways of being personally fulfilled, and its here that people run into trouble."

"The survey confirms that the so-called quarter-life crisis is now a reality for many people," adds Errey. Its the disconnect between where people have been in their twenties, where they find themselves today, and where they feel they want to be thats often the cause."

The online poll of over four hundred thirtysomething professionals from the UK and US shows that the quarter-life crisis is being fuelled by limiting beliefs, a lack of confidence and a sense that people need to sort things out themselves without appearing to be weak, coupled with the strong sense that they really can be more in life.

Seven out of ten of those polled admitted that they have beliefs that limit them in life and nearly three-quarters said that theyd love to be more confident. The poll also showed that two-thirds of people find it hard to ask for help, and one-quarter never seek support from others

In response to this growing problem, Steve Errey has launched a suite of coaching products designed to help successful thirtysomethings find the clarity, purpose and direction they crave. Steves coaching products are tailor-made to move people from simply surviving towards a place where theyre thriving, with a compelling sense of who they are, what theyre doing and where theyre heading. His products answer the top three 'wants that were expressed in the poll -- to find direction, to get help in achieving goals and to be more challenged. Also, as coaching is seen as a positive thing for people to do, so the stigma of seeking help or appearing weak doesnt come into it -- Steves coaching products assume that people are highly capable, resourceful and 'whole individuals.

Never before have there been so many opportunities for people. For thirtysomethings, seeing through these opportunities and finding whats right for them can seem like an impossible task. Steve is passionate that 2005 can be the year that people really step into the heart of their lives and begin to have, do and be more.
