Career Coaching: Routines: So, when the shit hits the fan in your world, what do you do? I’m noticing a good trait in my world. When the shit hits the fan here, when I know I’m in for a stint of it, I double down on my self-care routines. What does that mean? It means putting […]
Career Coaching: Business is Booming. Before COVID-19 came along, I was working too hard. As I write these words, they have sunk in a little deeper. The business was booming. I was working with up to five clients a day. By the last client of each day, I would feel like I was totally on-it—adrenaline racing […]
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: 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: 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: Wrong: Have you thought that you might be in the wrong role, sector, or business? If so, you are not alone – Plenty of friends, colleagues, and clients seem to have been having very similar thoughts. Someone emailed me this morning, full of fury at what her boss had chosen to action in […]
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 […]
