The Super Power Within You

2/8/2021

In challenging times many times the first thing to go is patience. As stress levels are higher than average during Covid, politics, and social distancing, there is a simple solution we can apply that helps us rise above.

This is self-talk. Self-talk can make or break your day, your timing, your activity levels and beyond. Today is a reminder that we have choice and we can engage a more compassionate voice.

As we are compassionate with ourselves, the compassion for others becomes more accessible.

Enjoy!

Be Kinder to Yourself
by Alice Boyes, Harvard Business Review

"Talking to yourself with self-compassion will help you deal with a raft of challenging situations, including those you experience personally and those you need to help your employees or kids through. To use it effectively, follow these practices to build specific, personalized habits of self-compassionate talk: give yourself a gentle and supportive nudge by asking yourself what you need in the moment; use irreverence to challenge your beliefs; reframe a trait or tendency to take a more balanced view; identify your patterns of self-sabotage; borrow language from friends, quotes, or proverbs; and write scripts for common scenarios."

Networking: Fun or Frightening?

1/25/2021

Comments

I remember showing up at my first networking event nervous to my core. Not only am I an introvert, I never thrive off of groups and grew up very socially awkward. After many forced meetings, I finally decided to find a different way to reach new clients. I decided writing and creating videos were a lot more supportive for me.

Meanwhile my colleague started her coaching practice in under a year by showing up to weekly group meetings. Go figure!

In coaching, we understand that everyone has their own unique success formula in life! Once I let go of the way I "should" grow, I could embrace what worked better... for my formula.

Locating what is going to work best for you is key. Joining programs that understand how to adapt to your unique needs and strengths is what creates the most profound results. Giving ourselves grace when other people's success formulas fall short for us, is freeing.

Today's resource is about finding what kind of networker you are.

Stuck in a Career Rut

1/18/2021

Comments

How are you enjoying the work you do in the world? Is it fulfilling? Rewarding? Lucrative? Engaging? Life Enhancing?

One of the aspects I love about being a professional coach is that my job gets to be all of those things. I have come to believe that people feel unfulfilled when a direction is calling them and they ignore the calling.

We may be "good" at what we do, but are we fulfilled? This is the focus of today.
What is calling to you this year? Why wait? If it is coaching, let us know. We are here helping professionals fulfill their calling and lead with meaning, enhance their natural gifts and get paid helping empower others.

I invite you to align with your purpose in 2021!

Coaching Resource of the Week:
The 21 Skills of Spiritual Intelligence
by Simon Blackhall, PCC

"It is estimated that on average we lose 10-30% of every day to ego-driven drama. That’s between five weeks to four months every year; that’s between seven and 21 years of an adult lifetime. What could be done with that time instead? And more importantly how can we minimize—if not eliminate—this waste of time and energy?"

5 Signs You May Be Overdue for a Coaching Tune-up

12/7/2020

Comments

The approaching year is an EXCELLENT time for a coaching tune up! Have you reached out to your coach lately?

I offer a full and half-day tune up for existing clients. Your coach may offer something similar. Longer year end sessions allow you to review:

What have I learned this year?
What can I celebrate?
What learning can I take with me into the next year?
What are my three focal points for next year?
What goals support those focal points?
What parts of me need to be engaged to support my success?
