Speech Transcript

Unknown Speaker  0:00  

Hey, this is Ipek Williamson. And if you really want to learn how to level up your life you should be listening to the time to shine today podcast with my good friend Scott Ferguson.

Unknown Speaker  0:11  

Time to shine today podcast varsity squad at Scott Ferguson Ward, Episode 190. With my really good friend, Deepak, Williamson and II, Peck means silk in Turkish, and she’s just a beautiful, beautiful soul human being inside and out. She believes in connecting with your higher self and she will definitely, definitely help you do that. She has the whole of Pono Pono, which we’re going to get into that as well the meaning of that and how she uses that to help you level up and she’s going to really go through how you can really push yourself out of your comfort zone. So without further ado, sit back relax, break out your notebooks because here comes my really good friend APAC Williamson, Rockstar coach, let’s level up.

Unknown Speaker  1:01  

Time to shine today. Firstly, podcast, Scott Ferguson, and we are going to talk about some co a Pono Pono with my really good friend Peck Williamson, introduced to me by another rock star Berta Medina. And he Peck is an insight coach, listener, practitioner and blogger. her journey as a life coach started after 20 years of experience in the corporate world. Yuck, I’m just kidding. We need the corporate world to through insight coaching, I she aims to touch the lives of as many people as possible bring out their real potential, and motivate them to take action. And impact. Thank you so so much for coming in and joining our squad, if you could introduce yourself to the squad. But first, what’s your favorite color in water?

Unknown Speaker  1:49  

My favorite colors? There are a couple yellow and orange. Okay? Because they they are sun, warmth, and energy to me.

Unknown Speaker  2:01  

Wow, sun, warmth and energy. And it’s in your color wheel if you were to wear it, you know, wear it on your glands. Awesome. So let’s get to the origins kind of maybe, you know, come from the corporate life and then really want to come out and level up others if we can start there.

Unknown Speaker  2:19  

Yeah, sure. Yeah, I started as an executive assistant with worked with top executives, more than 20 years in corporate environments, until I have found my life purpose and started my practice as a coach. I’m a life coach. But more specifically, I am an insight coach, I help people to understand the innate potential that they have, I provide them with guidance in connecting with their higher self because that higher self, that inner voice has the absolute power to find answers to all questions in my opinion. And we find those answers through the insights that will come out during our powerful coaching conversations and unleash that untapped potential together. So that’s what I love to do. And that’s what I do now.

Unknown Speaker  3:10  

So when you talk about tapping in and connecting with your higher self, and the answers will kind of come So you’re telling me that you really don’t tell them what to do. You’re not so much a consultant. And that’s, that’s refreshing to hear, especially a lot of coaches come out of the corporate world, and they want to be a consultant, and they try to tell people what to do instead of so you’re saying you kind of guide them to connect with their higher self. So they find their own answers with just a little bit of push from you. Did I nail that or no,

Unknown Speaker  3:39  

absolutely nailed it. Because what we, as a coach, I don’t want to tell them what to do. I don’t want to give them the fish. I want to teach them how to fish so that we can solve their own problems. When it comes.

Unknown Speaker  4:00  

Got it. I got these where they say give a man a fish eat for a day teach a man to fish you can eat for a lifetime. Right? I love that approach that you’re taking. So I gotta ask then, like you kind of come out of the corporate world which you probably had a pretty decent paying job correct?

Unknown Speaker  4:17  

Yes, not bad

Unknown Speaker  4:18  

into the coaching world not to say that there’s not a lot of monetary gain to be made in coaching. But what does your family Think about your decision to kind of level up into the coaching world to help others?

Unknown Speaker  4:31  

Yeah, well, my family especially my husband, he is the biggest support for me. He has always been supported all my decisions and he agreed with me that a corporate world doesn’t wasn’t giving me the happiness the excitement that I needed any more. So yeah, I got support all over the place. All my family all my friends. So I was lucky that way,

Unknown Speaker  5:02  

love it, I love it. And I, you know, I’ve, I don’t stock it, but I’ve looked at you on social and your you and your hobby just seemed like so happy and genuine and that’s refreshing to see. So then what do you think effect makes a great coach?

Unknown Speaker  5:18  

Well, I connect with my clients very meaningfully. So when I get in contact with a client, I make sure I empty my mind with the help of some breathing techniques and meditation. And it’s very important for me to come to a coaching conversation with a clear mind. So I make sure I take enough time in between calls. And don’t i don’t Google people, before they come for you to our call for the first time because I like to listen to them telling their story with their own words, I hold space and listen to my client with an open heart and mind without any judgment, just just to understand and connect deeply so that I can create an environment for my client to be vulnerable and honest, both to me and more importantly to themselves. Because when a client cannot open up and speak to me with 100%, honesty, and share all the facts that come from their reality, we cannot get where we want to get together. So you need to lay down everything without leaving anything out in order to find the right path to take.

Unknown Speaker  6:31  

I love that. I love that. So when you’re bringing somebody in as a possible prospect, or maybe they’re even a client now, if you don’t mind sharing some of the secret sauce, your happy path. What do you do to help them find their blind spot?

Unknown Speaker  6:50  

Well, I asked the right questions. I ask powerful questions for them to really think deeply on where they are. Why what is happening is happening. Okay, and the obstacles that they keep stumbling upon? Why are they happening? So I, I just want them to analyze deeply, why they are here, where they want to go, and how they can go there. So I am like the bridge between my clients here and my client who wants to be there. Right? So I am the bridge to take them from here to there.

Unknown Speaker  7:39  

You’re like a rainbow, your full full of energy, so full of color, you know, so while they’re on that journey, they are like going through, it’s gonna suck some parts of it suck. I’m sorry, because they wouldn’t come to you if their life was good. So yeah, good. So like, follow that rainbow. That’s awesome. So if I’m at a networking function, which we can do here in South Florida, also in zooming and stuff like that LinkedIn, and I’m talking to somebody you’re communicating is there. How would I know that they would make a great contact connection or referral for you back?

Unknown Speaker  8:15  

Well, because I’m a life coach, and everyone has a life. Anyone could be my client, okay. Of course, in case we are a good match as a coach and client, I don’t believe in creating a niche for myself, if one day I say I have a niche, it would be because that niche would have emerged on its own, not because I decided that it would be the right thing to go with. So I’m open to working with anyone who would like to build their self confidence region and connect with the power of their spirituality and creativity or reach out and be bold and courageously go after their dreams or both. So I like a challenge. I like clients that come with tough situations, the bigger the obstacles and hurdles are, the more excited I get for being able to help them

Unknown Speaker  9:05  

love it, you think big and you go big. That’s lovely. Across the board. So when you’re bringing somebody in to the Deepak Williamson coaching, in your kind of have that discovery process to make sure that they want to be courageous and bold and go after their dreams and the powerful questions. Is there any good question you wish they would ask you but never do?

Unknown Speaker  9:29  

Well, I would think first of all, I would think they would, they should have asked me thinking about it. It’s a great question, but I’m not thinking

Unknown Speaker  9:49  

I’d be like, tell me about a fail. Tell me about? Well, well,

Unknown Speaker  9:52  

I will. Okay, I came up with one. I would ask myself what is your motivation to help people And I would say, first of all, I will be blunt. And say that I do it for very selfish reasons. Because it’s the best feeling in the world, it becomes an addiction. After a certain point, it

Unknown Speaker  10:15  

goes, right.

Unknown Speaker  10:17  

I live a happy life and I genuinely want everyone around me to experience the same. And when I see my efforts, help others get better in multiple areas of their lives. It makes me extremely happy. The more I give, the more I get in the form of appreciation, love, friendship, knowledge, the list goes on.

Unknown Speaker  10:39  

connections and everything it happens out of it. You know, there’s an actual love, not an intimate love, but like a love that happens between me and the clients that I coach and it’s just fantastic. And whether it’s, you know, eight week session or a forever session, it’s like, yeah, hold that spot in your heart. Right? to absolutely love love. That’s awesome. I love that you take that approach to it. You’re such a go giver. So have you seen the movie Back to the Future?

Unknown Speaker  11:09  

Yes. Okay,

Unknown Speaker  11:10  

so let’s get in that DeLorean with Marty McFly. Let’s go back to the 22 year old Deepak Okay, I’m a knowledge nuggets as we call him here at time to shine today. What kind of knowledge nuggets? Are you dropping on Deepak? To help her level up, blast through and maybe shorten your learning curve a little bit?

Unknown Speaker  11:27  

I would say push yourself out of your comfort zone?

Unknown Speaker  11:31  

Yes. Yes. Would she listen?

Unknown Speaker  11:39  

I don’t think I would

Unknown Speaker  11:41  

need it. Thank you for being honest. I love I love it. I love it. That’s funny. So what keeps you up at night?

Unknown Speaker  11:53  

What I can do more?

Unknown Speaker  11:56  

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker  11:56  

How can I help more? In which areas of life I can be more productive? And how many more people’s lives I can touch. I

Unknown Speaker  12:07  

love that. That’s fantastic. And I do the same thing. I’m always sometimes I’m guilty of re trying to reinvent the wheel when everything’s working. But I’ll just sit there and I’ll be like, oh, is there something that I’m missing? Right? And that you want to? And that said self discovery time? So

Unknown Speaker  12:25  

yeah.

Unknown Speaker  12:26  

How do you want your dash remembered? That little line in between your incarnation date and your expiration date? Your life date and nothing? How do you want Apex? is remembered.

Unknown Speaker  12:35  

Yeah. I would like to be remembered as a remembered as a person that made a difference in many people’s lives.

Unknown Speaker  12:45  

Changing lives for the masses. I love it. Yeah, one at a time. Right?

Unknown Speaker  12:50  

Yes.

Unknown Speaker  12:53  

All at a time.

Unknown Speaker  12:54  

Love it. So what is your definition of a life well lived then?

Unknown Speaker  12:59  

That’s exactly the same. Helping people and making difference making connections making life better for people.

Unknown Speaker  13:10  

Gotcha.

Unknown Speaker  13:10  

Everyone around me.

Unknown Speaker  13:12  

In squad. I gotta tell you that APAC actually means silk in Turkish. Right? Yes. Correct. Okay, and tell us did you, like live a lot of your life in Turkey? Or? Like, how did that go? And how did the migration or whatnot to Canada or the United States? How did that work out?

Unknown Speaker  13:31  

Well, I came to Canada when I was 34 years old. Okay. In 2007 2007, okay. And my life I worked as an executive assistant when I was in Turkey to for 10 years or so. And, yeah, I mean, all my family, all my friends. Are there, my memories my past there. And I keep going back. And I have Yeah, I have people coming to visit to Yes. Oh, yes. I never lost my connections there. I still am connected with so many family members. That’s great.

Unknown Speaker  14:17  

That’s helped form you into the awesome coach that you are like lessons that you might have picked up because a lot of the things you’re saying comes from kind of like a like Middle Eastern kind of feel of like the energy in stuff. And again, I served in the military, and I was over there and I wasn’t the type that really went out and drank. I mean, I might have had a couple nights like that when I was but I like to go out and see culture and a lot of stuff you’re seeing. It seems like you’re pulling into your coaching is that I seen that correctly. Are you feeling a lot of that traditions while you’re coaching?

Unknown Speaker  14:53  

Absolutely, absolutely. My family influenced me a lot growing up and my grandma Parents and my parents especially I grew up in a very open minded family, I come from a Mediterranean culture. So we love hugging and kissing. So I grew up in an environment filled with love and close connections. That made me a very empathetic, compassionate person. And because of that, my family, my friends, the community, I am a part of always come before success, financial gains or materialistic ambitions. I love people I, I help I try to help, just because helping is good.

Unknown Speaker  15:36  

And you’re smiling all the time, too. So yes, I try. And I gotta tell you, like, I started doing the math. Like, you know, I’m, I’ll be 49. And I know that you’re pretty close to my age. And it’s like, we do good, man. We don’t look at it all. Good.

Unknown Speaker  15:54  

I love it.

Unknown Speaker  15:54  

I love it. So what do you think, is one thing that people might misunderstand about you pack the most?

Unknown Speaker  16:03  

Wow, this is a difficult one. I think people think that I might be intimidating. Sometimes. They, they have difficulty feeling easy to reach out to me, which is completely wrong. I’m so reachable. I’m so open, to connecting with all kinds of people from all walks of life. I’m a people person, the person cleaning is the same as a CEO. They are all human beings to me. So I am. I

Unknown Speaker  16:49  

am. Right.

Unknown Speaker  16:50  

I’m out. I’m open to I love

Unknown Speaker  16:52  

it. I love it’s funny sometimes. And I want to sound massage and rustic but like sometimes women that are in powerful situations, and even women that are from outside of the United States or Canada that have that ambition can be intimidating. So that might be something I I get the thing where you know, I’m six one and I’m 260 pounds and people think oh, he’s a big bully. And I’m like, yeah, unless I’m representing my clients, I’m the biggest goofball you’ll ever meet in your life. If we ever could act, you’re gonna be like, Oh my gosh, Fergie is just like he’s a goofball that I you know, I live by the, you know, don’t take life too seriously. You’ll never make it out alive. You know? Absolutely. I get a guy so might as well live with a smile on her face.

Unknown Speaker  17:37  

I agree. Totally. Because I feel like we are taking life too seriously, right? More than we should?

Unknown Speaker  17:44  

Exactly. Exactly. Hey, everybody, we are back. And I’m with my really, really good friend. My hope Poe I’m gonna say this again. Whoa, a Pono Pono. Friend. And before we get in the lightning round, can you to maybe get into what oh, a Pono Pono is?

And it is more like through some meditations and through some mantras that is used a lot, which being I’m sorry, please forgive me. I love you. Thank you. This mantra is a big part of oponopono. And it has some big meaning. That would take some time to explain. So I’m not going to do it at No,

Unknown Speaker  21:35

You know, who would like you to Duran Duran like that. And then you had the one name people like Michael for like Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna. Like we had all kinds. We had rap Run DMC, you know, like, the, you know, the beginning of everything important to me was, although when I’m chilling out and relaxing, I always put the 70s music on because it reminds me of growing up with my mom and dad. Yeah, in the background, you know?

Unknown Speaker  22:15

Unknown Speaker  22:50  

all over those links will be in the show notes, folks. And we just had an awesome free masterclass by my really good friend, Deepak who believes in providing guidance to connect with your higher self, she’s not going to consult you, she’s going to coach you and a coach will bring out the best in you. But it’s you’ve actually got to put in the work, she’s going to teach you how to fish, he’s not going to give you a fish he’s going to teach out of it. So you can you know, metaphorically eat for the rest of your life. And a coach will connect with clients in a meaningful way, with an empty mind, in his vulnerable and honest and that way, she can pull the Drudge out of you kind of give you some knowledge Nuggets to level up so you can find your power. And she does that to ask him powerful questions like why are you hear? Why do you think these obstacles are happening to you. So again, you can start pulling your power out of you, she’s going to tell you to courageously go after your dreams, and the push yourself out of your comfort zone. You know, she wants to change lives to the masses one soul at a time. You know, she’s super close with love and close connections with her family, which is really brought those values into your coaching. And those really stand out. And I’m gonna say this one more time, whoa, a Pono Pono, which helps people with forgiveness and connect with inner self through meditations and other steps. And I’m going to actually research that myself and throw that in the show notes after I get the okay from AIPAC that I actually understand it. And AIPAC, thank you so much for coming on. you level up your help you level up your wealth. You’re just amazingly humble, giving beautiful person such a nice kind soul.
