Self-Awareness

How aware are we of our strengths, weaknesses, our impact on others, or where we put our energy when we're on autopilot? Now more than ever, in this time of unprecedented fear and uncertainty, we owe it to ourselves and to others to be more discriminating about what we watch, read, listen to and share. 'People tend to be generous when sharing their nonsense, fear, and ignorance… They seem quite eager to feed you their negativity… Be cautious with what you feed your mind and soul. Fuel yourself with positivity and let that fuel propel you into positive action.' - Steve Maraboli.

Follow your Passion

'The only way to do great work is to love what you do.  If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking.  Don’t settle.' -Steve Jobs

Change and Creative Vision

Coaching Thought:

'A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown. '– Denis Waitley. It is also a preview of possibilities - if you have the courage to pursue it.

Legacy

Coaching Thought:

'..we should be remembered for the things we do. The things we do are the most important things of all. They are more important than what we say or what we look like. The things we do outlast our mortality. … That’s why your deeds are like your monuments.'  – R.J. Palacio

Legacy 2

Coaching Thought:

'Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes you made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched in some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower that you planted, you’re there.'

Ideal vs Reality

Coaching Thought:

Very often, our biggest stress in life is created by us wanting reality to be different to what it actually is.  We waste a lot of time and brain energy wishing things were different. This builds inner tension and leaves us little energy to deal with and face what's in front of us. Either we need to take action and change the situation or we need to face challenges, deal with them and move on.

Coaching Questions:

  • How well do you deal with the day to day realities of your life?
  • How does wanting things to be different affect you?
  • How could you be easier with dealing what is?

Perfectionism vs Effectiveness

Coaching Thought:

How often have we hamstrung ourselves by not completing a project because we felt it wasn't perfect? Maybe even prided ourselves on our 'high standards?'  'Understanding the difference between healthy striving and perfectionism is critical ….. Research shows that perfectionism hampers success. In fact, it’s often the path to depression, anxiety, addiction, and life paralysis'.~ Brene Brown

Our Philosophy of Coach Supervision

Supervision involves contracting on 3 different levels – practical, psychological and professional. It helps coaches become unstuck; encourages global perspective to rise above detail and assess the impact on all key players; facilitates making sense of events; increases a coach’s confidence; supports coaches’ professional and personal development.

Breaking through Fear

Coaching Thought:

Fear keeps us playing a small game, nervous to put our heads above the parapet, hiding in the safety of a lukewarm life. But people who spend all their time thinking about problems are in danger of imagining a false reality. Challenges are there to lift us to higher performance. We must do something, and stop wallowing in fearful thoughts.  'Thinking will not overcome fear, but action will!' W. Clement Stone.

  • Timing and Permission

    Have you ever suggested an idea that didn’t land, only to have it suggested and heartily taken up by someone else a little while later? Ideas based on Michael Grinder’s Professional Development Model explain this.

    Timing and permission are key micro-skills of communication which are often missing in organisations. They are valid in many aspects of communication eg feedback or contributing in meetings.

  • Goals

    The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don’t define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.

  • Communication Style of Great Leaders

    The communication style of leaders helps us distinguish great leaders from the wannabes. When facing a problem the great leader says, ‘Let’s find out,’ while the wannabe says, ‘Nobody knows.’

  • Letting Go

    Whatever it is, if it doesn’t make you happy, walk away, give it away to someone else who wants it. Let it be their next dream; let it flee from you. Then you have room to grow, to allow magnificent things to fill the vacuum of those seemingly empty places. When you hold onto yesterday, when you hold onto dead and dying adventures, you have no room in your box for greatness. Unknown
