When was the last time someone really listened to you, without giving advice, without passing judgement? I will really listen at a deep level. Notice the things you aren’t noticing, be curious and ask questions that help you to tap into your own wisdom. Help you uncover any unhelpful beliefs, to understand yourself better and tune into what you really want.
Here are some of the scenarios where I frequently support clients through coaching. Get in contact with me if any of these scenarios sound familiar:
- Life has changed, and you find yourself asking ‘can I have it all?’
- You are seeking greater work/life satisfaction
- You are seeking a promotion and need support to ask for it
- You feel like an imposter
- Lifestyle burnout
- Confidence to become an entrepreneur and launch your new business
Scenario 1: Life has changed. You find yourself asking, can I have it all?
What you wanted from your career in your 20’s is different to what you need now you have a family to prioritise. Your career needs to deliver more. More satisfaction, as you are leaving your kids in childcare for it, more flexibility, something that enables you to succeed both in work but also outside it too. You’re not sure how to have a successful career and home life. Can you have it all?
How I will help: I’ll help you to work out what your priorities are. What you value, what do you want to achieve, what does work mean for you, what kind of balance are you’re striving for. With these new insights and awareness, we will come up with a plan to achieve the balance between work, life, finances you are after and support you make this plan a reality.
Benefits you will experience:
- a greater balance between your work and personal / family life.
- increased satisfaction at work / in your career and enjoy quality family time.
- where you are making compromises, they feel the right ones.
- you will feel calmer, more satisfied.
Scenario 2: You need greater work / life satisfaction.
Life is full on. You’ve worked hard for one, two, three decades, striving for and achieving various milestones and career goals. You are where you imagined you’d be. It should feel great, except you’re thinking, is this it? Why aren’t I happier? Why aren’t I more fulfilled? I’m on a treadmill and I don’t know how to get off.
How I will help: I’ll help you take stock. Appreciate how far you’ve come, what is working well and what needs to be tweaked or changed. I can help you understand your core values and strengths and then change your working life so that you are working in harmony with these. When we align work to our strengths it becomes effortless, we can fly. When we work in alignment with our values our wellbeing increases, we feel calmer and happier.
Benefits you will experience:
- your wellbeing will increase
- you’ll feel happier and more fulfilled
- you’ll look forward to getting into work and feel passionately about what you’re achieving.
- you will start using your strengths and can see the unique contribution you are making.
Scenario 3: You’re seeking a promotion
You’re thinking about promotion. You are questioning whether you’re ready, are you good enough to take that step, how are you rated by others? If you were successful and got that next level job would it be worth the extra responsibility? Is it what you want and if it is can you achieve it?
How I will help: I’ll help you get to the core of what’s important. You will understand if you want to take that step, exactly what it looks like and what drives you. You will gain insights into your strengths and USP. What makes you brilliant, what do you bring that no one else does.
Benefits you will experience:
- you will know what you want your next career move to be, and have the confidence to go for it and how to ask for it
- you will understand what is wonderful and unique about you
- you will be able to articulate that through your online profile, CV, job applications and interviews.
Scenario 4: You feel like an imposter
You’re doing well, have a good job / business and are achieving. You don’t feel like you earnt it. You’ve been lucky to get the breaks / jobs you’ve got so far. The little voice in your head says your luck will run out, you will be discovered soon. They will find out you can’t really do the job, you’re not really good enough. You second guess and question yourself and your actions. You dismiss praise and feel uncomfortable when you receive positive feedback. You are likely to procrastinate, take on too much work, feel anxious and catastrophize. It’s exhausting. You want to feel different, to have more confidence and self-belief. You want to believe others when they tell you you’re doing well. You want to be able to follow your dreams instead of settling.
How I will help: I will help you to understand your negative voice. Where it comes from and what it says. We will look at how you make sense of your world and will examine your stories. What are they, where do they come from, who set them up. Do these stories serve or diminish your life. We will collect and use evidence to call out your stories, to diminish negative self-talk, stop unhelpful thought patterns and change habits.
Benefits you will experience:
- you will understand yourself better, be able to recognise your achievements, accept praise and have a greater confidence within yourself.
- you will have greater confidence to go for promotion (also see above), get a new job, be able to negotiate a pay increase. The negative self-talk will be quieter and no longer in control.
Scenario 5: Lifestyle burnout. You’ve lost the balance in your life.
The hectic, fast pace is relentless, you are tired of pushing yourself so hard, of feeling like you run everywhere, never having time to walk. Your resilience is low. You’re not sure how much longer you can keep this up but are not sure what to do, what you can change.
How I will help: I’ll help you to slow down, take time to reflect on the current balance between different aspects of your life and to work out what balance you’d ideally like. I will help you uncover unhelpful beliefs and behaviours that drive your fast pace. I’ll help you identify and then practice more helpful behaviours. I’ll help you identify the actions you take that support your resilience, where the gaps are and the steps / actions you can take to overcome the gaps and increase your ability to cope with and bounce back from setbacks.
Benefits you will experience:
- you will be more resilient, have regained balance
- you will feel more in control, have more energy and a sense of inner peace / calm.
Scenario 6: Confidence to become an entrepreneur and launch your new business
You have an idea for a business. Want a different type of lifestyle. Want to develop your ideas and see them become a reality. You have the ideas and creative flair. You are lacking the confidence to take the next steps and achieve this dream.
How I will help: I’ll help you shape your vision, define what your business will deliver. I’ll help you identify where your lack of confidence comes from, to understand it better and to identify steps / actions which will help you to increase your confidence and make your dream a reality.
Benefits you will experience:
- you will gain the confidence to pursue your dream and make your ideas a reality.
