I once watched a playback of the Laser Coaching certification session where I was the client—and let’s just say, I felt for the coach. As a recovering IMPACT Tilter, my brain was in full pinball machine mode: bouncing from topic to topic, talking non-stop, oversimplifying complex issues, and convinced I was absolutely right. I couldn’t even land on a single thread long enough to explore it meaningfully. Looking back, it was clear I was stressed and relying too heavily on my favored Tilt quadrants of optimism and gut instinct.
Learnings from a recovering Impact Tilter

What stood out most wasn’t my chaos—it was the calm, focused presence of the coach. She helped me realize that growth meant “Tilting” toward my opposite pattern: slowing down, listening with openness, and acknowledging that others’ perspectives weren’t distractions from my vision—they were essential to it. I began to see how easily I could underestimate the complexity of my own ideas when I skipped over the analysis and heart-driven connection needed to bring them to life.
The pinball may still bounce, but now I know how to guide it. Coaching with Tilt helped me find the controls—and the strategy—to make every move count.
