What’s in your way of really setting goals and dreams for how your life will go? Declaring what they actually want in life is one of the biggest blocks that my coaching clients come to work with me to overcome. And one of the tools I use to open up a new conversation around that is to have them reconnect with their inner child and the permission to dream. What would yours tell you?

There are many reasons - or excuses - that we all have for not actually being in action to work towards the things we really want in life. But sometimes we’re all out of excuses and find ourselves saying “I dunno, I guess I just need to do it.” But even then that still doesn’t always work. So, what structures can you put in place to be more reliable and accountable for doing the thing that you’ve declared you want to do.

I often speak to people face to face about my own experience of coaching and how it changed my life and how I see myself. But I’ve never really shared about it more widely. I thought I’d do that today. So, here’s my own story, and how having the structure of coaching in my life gave me purpose, balance and even more success.

Finding the right coach for you is really important. You’ll be making an investment in yourself, and not every coach is going to be for you. So, don’t be afraid to “try before you buy” and hunt around for a great match. In this post I share a few things that you should watch out for.

Once you’ve identified what your needs really are, how can you go about having others support you in meeting them. In this post we explore the value in asking for support, and list some ideas for ways in which you can be supported by other people.

When we get triggered, angry, anxious, sad… our tendency is to look outwardly and try to fix the thing that we see to be causing this. Instead we might choose to take a moment to consider what this tells us about our unmet needs, and to look at getting supported with those. 

Coaching and therapy can be easily confused. Sometimes one can feel like the other. But each serves a different purpose. And when experienced simultaneously, they create a powerful partnership in transforming our lives. 

In a break from the usual blog posts that focus on transformations you can make in your life, this week I instead offer a glimpse into what actually happens in a coaching session. How do we tackle the issues that really matter to you? And how is my style of coaching designed to help you make breakthroughs that last instead of just patching over the cracks.

Do you ever feel like people are going to find out that you’re not as smart as they think you are? Or do you feel like you don’t stack up and don’t belong? If so, you’re probably experiencing imposter syndrome and it is absolutely holding you back from living your best life. It might be time to make a change.

Coaching offers a framework and a space for you to explore and design approaches in pursuit of your best life. In this post we explore what coaching is and why you might dive into a coaching programme.
