Career Coaching: Triggered! I had no idea how hard I find it to ask for help. How did I learn this? I learned this when I needed some minor medical attention from the NHS. Referred to a ‘fast track service’ just before I went abroad for a fortnight, I arrived home to find that my appointment had […]
Career Coaching: Coming Unraveled: As I coach more, whilst my clients are learning about themselves, I too am learning about myself. I always wondered why this was called “A Coaching Practice”??? When would I have finally qualified? And, if you have done any personal development, you too will know that once you have opened the door […]
Career Coaching: Feminine Energy: I’m gonna take a risk here and share a thought. I have coached people for a decade, and a pattern is emerging. I see two types of energy in people’s professional development. I’m talking feminine and masculine energies, and there is a huge benefit in both. Here’s why: Let’s be clear, by masculine […]
Career Coaching: I Cried: Today I met with my Writing Coach, and I cried. She provided affirmation, and gentle challenge on the thousands of words I’d submitted. She offered wisdom regarding ways forward, reminding me of my purpose in setting out to write the book at all. I cried. Why? I cried with gratitude […]
Career Coaching: What’s Next? This morning has consisted of a flurry of emails and calls from existing and new clients wanting to resume or begin coaching. What’s happened? I think that mostly, we are all beginning to recognise that life will never be the same again and secondly that life must go on anyway. With Lockdown, […]
Career Coaching: Endings. I had a final Supervision session with a Practioner today. It was a good session where we celebrated all we had achieved together. She chose to bring the relationship to a close. I know deep down that we have completed an excellent cycle of work. We have parted company honestly and amicably. I […]
Career coaching: Tenderness. Despite the easing of lockdown. The damage has been done. I don’t mean just to our economy, I also mean that the damage has been done regarding how we perceive our selves, our lives, and our work… There isn’t one client who isn’t showing up believing something needs to change with their […]
Career Coaching: Stop! Have you ever got to the end of the day and realised that you never did that thing? Have you ever noticed that the thing that you didn’t do was usually a thing for you? Hey is that? Clients are showing up here in front of me to be coached, having realised that if […]
Career coaching: Authentically, You. Corvid-19 is bringing authenticity with it. I hope we can never go back to the incongruous nature of pretending to ‘be’ what our role is. Working from home while juggling the kids, managing our emotional processes, and working digitally mean that the real you will have been seeping our all over the […]
Career Coaching: Mistakes. Mistakes are valuable, REALLY valuable. Mistakes are rich with learning. We can only access this learning if we choose not to beat ourselves up. If we get stuck in the self-punishment loop, there is no way we can summons the energy to debrief and find the gift. I have seen plenty of people […]
