Career Coaching: Seasons Greetings. if you find it difficult to contemplate your next career move right now don’t be surprised. You might find your lack of motivation bemusing if you are unhappy in your current role. There is a reason for this. Your lack of motivation may not be due to the Christmas run-up. Your lack […]
Leadership Coaching: Boundaries. Being really clear in business, work and life regarding where the line sits is really beneficial in lots of ways. It shows others exactly where they stand and interesting they seem to really quite like it. We did Shadow-work exercise. Working in partners one had the ability to draw their partner near or send […]
Career Coaching: You Are Better Than You Know. Our brains have a negative bias. Fact. And? That doesn’t always serve us. Whilst we do need to be vigilant about danger, it is also important to be able to step out of that place and be able to see your possibility too. I am a firm believer of […]
Career Coaching: You DO Know. Someone said to me at the weekend “I think our phones and screens have taken the place of our dreaming”. And, I fear she might be right. People come to work with me saying “I don’t know what to do that will satisfy me as a career”. The premise I work with […]
Leadership Coaching: Freedom. If you are in a leadership role and it feels toxic, remember you really can still leave. If you are feeling unhappy, you can actually go. Whether you were the founder, or are a partner, if it was your idea, to begin with, but it has all turned to sh*t, remember you can just […]
Career Coaching: Know Your Value. It’s easy to forget what value you bring when you show up and do something day in and day out. It becomes familiar and thus it feels easy. That’s when you forget that you have niche expertise. I’m currently working my way through my Three-year Shamanic Practitioner Qualification. This deep and […]
Career Coaching: Trust Your Instincts. During the past decades, I have been reminded over and over that trusting my instincts is more than valuable. If you have ever read Malcolm Gladwell’s ‘Blink” (and I highly recommend it), then you’ll be familiar with the concept that the more we use it the better it gets. What our western […]
Leadership coaching: Humility. The best leaders are those who admit that they don’t know what they are doing. Bold statement? Maybe, but as my husband says: “assumption is that mother of all fuck-ups”. Isn’t that just so true! Having spent the first three decades of my life pretending that I knew what I am doing, I […]
Career Coaching: Do What You Love. I get people coming to work work with me, saying things like “I’m not good at XY&Z and I need to work on that”. I think this is an erroneous approach. This is the legacy that our education system has left us with, their remit is to give everyone a […]
Leadership Coaching: Experience. Have you ever noticed that excellent leaders are often quite quiet? Why is that so you think? I suspect that this is because they are secure enough to listen. It’s taken me a few decades to recognise that ‘he who shouts loudest’, might indeed get his own way. However, he who shouts loudest might […]
