25.01.2022 This is at the heart of what I coach. Whether it’s your work world or your personal life, there is no doubt that the greater your self awareness, the more rich, rewarding and fulfilling are your relationships with others. When you start to understand how you ‘tick’, you’ll have a greater appreciation of how everyone else ‘ticks’. #mindset #mindsetcoaching #coach #coaching #coachingwomen #personaldevelopment #personalgrowth #womenfindingpurpose #personalempowerment #womensupportingwomen

23.01.2022 Hi there, if you were a mum wanting to go back to work but didn't know where or how to start, what free advice, training or guidance would you want first? 1. understanding your skills, strengths and experience 2. understanding the Imposter Syndrome 3. Understanding the power of the informational interview or 4. Knowing which parts of your thinking will need to change. Thanks everyone!

22.01.2022 In working with a client we were able to uncover that when things aren’t going to plan, or she’s feeling frustrated or a bit despondent, she’s quick to move into blame mode. Blaming his past experiences for his current circumstances was a way of deflecting his personal responsibility. Regardless of what got you to where you’re at, it’s now up to you to move forward. Looking forward, towards the future and making conscious choices about how you want that future look is up to you. So let go of blame, which serves no purpose other than to keep you looking backwards, and set the path for your future. #coach #coaching #mindset #mindsetcoach #mindsetcoachingforwomen #future #

22.01.2022 How do you eat an elephant? Slowly and one bit at a time...I was working with my client about a really ambitious goal and he was feeling despondent that he hadn’t gotten as far in his goal as he’d hoped. But I asked him to reframe his thinking and actually acknowledge how far he had come...he’s started and made progress and moving in the right direction. And that’s the important bit. Keep moving forward towards the goal a little bit at a time. Consistent small actions. Don’t live in disappointment of not getting there faster but live in optimism that you will get there. #mindsetcoach #mindset #coaching #coach #coachingforwomen #lifebydesign #womenfindingpurpose #goalsetting

21.01.2022 Is it worth the pain? Well in this case, yes! I’m ever so happy wandering the country road picking wild blackberries. But boy those prickles are nasty! Totally worth the pain though. This week’s work pain has been feeling like I’m wading through mud-so much online learning my brain is hurting! But I know it will be worth it. Doing the hard work will make the success that much sweeter! I know I am going to appreciate being on the other side of this knowing how much I’m being stretched. Loving the journey, despite the prickles!! #coaching #mindsetcoaching #womensupportingwomen #womenfindingpurpose #mindsetcoachingforwomen #coach #lifechallenges #action #takingaction

20.01.2022 Curiosity- such a valuable way of being which most overlook. When we approach our communications, our relationships and our work with curiosity then it gives us a real opportunity to have greater insight and understanding. Rather making the assumption we ‘know’ or adequately understand something and therefore go on to make assumptions or judgements, consider pausing and asking some more questions and really getting to the ‘why’. Curiosity is not just about finding out what’s going on externally but also internally...’why did I assume/think/believe/say that?’. Ask the question....you might be surprised at the answer. #womenfindingpurpose #coaching #mindsetcoach #mindset #coach #curiosity #purpose #coachingforwomen #questioneverything

20.01.2022 Habits. One I do every morning (almost!) is make my bed. It’s a conversation I was having with my teenager...who sees no value in (ever) doing so! It’s just part of the ritual for me which sets me up for being organised, productive and feeling like I’ve at least had a good start to the day! I know not everyone feels the same way (although working hard on said teenager to adopt this mindset!) but awareness of what sits behind the habit is helpful (and therefore do you want to keep it?). My new habit of half a cookie with my coffee (new since iso)?? Well, that’s probably one I can drop!! #mindset #mindsetcoachingforwomen #habits #livingbydesign #lifebydesignnotbydefault #coach #womenfindingpurpose

19.01.2022 Am I there yet? I often talk to my clients about getting comfortable with being uncomfortable when they are trying new things out. Whether it’s thinking about things differently or actually taking action and trying a different approach. And what is increasingly clear for me is I’m not sure I’m ever going to get ‘there’. There is just some arbitrary marker I create which then keeps getting pushed further away when I realise there’s always something more...to learn, do, be....s...o I have take my own medicine and just get comfortable with this uncomfortable feeling. There’s always more and that is precisely why the expression is it’s the journey not the destination . As cliched as it sounds, it speaks inherent truth to me because if I’m not enjoying the journey, then what’s the point?? #mindsetcoachingforwomen #mindsetcoaching #coaching #womenfindingpurpose #livingbydesign #lifebydesign #backtoworkroadmap See more

16.01.2022 Selling. My client (selling her own professional service) recently launched her business and was really stuck on selling herself. All the negative connotations of sales was all she could think. But we worked through this by getting her to see that what she offers is absolutely essential for clients and her fear of rejection, her ego, was getting in the way of her being able to reach these people. They need what she has! Those who don’t need her services will say no and who do will say yes but until you ask the question, how will you know? She celebrated her first paying client this week. Well done! #mindsetcoachingforwomen #mindset #coach #coaching #action #womenfindingpurpose #takingaction #sales #salestips

14.01.2022 If you wait until you’re ready you’ll wait forever (Will Rogers) Action creates clarity. I used to have it back to front and spend so much time in planning and getting clear but really, I needed to take some action to get the clarity! Once you start to take some steps, do some things then you can actually see what works and what doesn’t. Trying to figure it all out in my head was actually preventing me from taking action....and moving me further away from my goals. Have an idea, plan it out and take some action. Adjust where you need to and take some action... #mindset #mindsetcoachingforwomen #coach #coaching #empowerment #empoweryourself #womenfindingpurpose #action #clarity #goalsetting

11.01.2022 I’ll do it when.... or The time’s not quite right. Classic signs of procrastination. But why the procrastination? Well there’s all sorts of reasons for that but whatever the reason, just know there is no ‘right’ time. Whatever you’re putting off, just start it. Because once you have started then you can assess what’s working and what’s not using actual data. Until you’ve started all the theories about why it will or won’t work are just theories. Don’t hold back on starting something that you know is important because there’s never a ‘perfect’ time. Just start now! #mindsetcoach #mindsetcoachingforwomen #coach #coaching #womenfindingpurpose #backtoworkroadmap #coachingforwomen #action #successmindset

11.01.2022 The Fear of Being Different. Conformity is a funny thing and whilst fashion is the obvious example, and often a fairly benign form, it can go far deeper than just shoes. History has shown, and continues to show, how destructive and ultimately devastating the effect of conformity of thinking can be. And where in your own life are you stepping backwards, hiding in shadows, going quiet in meetings or silencing that voice of dissent because you don’t want to stand out, be noticed or be different. Our thoughts hold us back...what if??? Take a deep breath, dig deep and step forward into the real you. Our growth and success comes from daring to be different and stepping beyond mediocrity. #mindsetcoach #mindsetcoachingforwomen #daretobedifferent #courage #coaching #womenfindingpurpose #careercoachingforwomen

11.01.2022 Another quick word on language. This is one of those words that can be so loaded. When someone says to you You should...., how do you feel. Typically it sets off a fairly defensive response (even if it’s in your own head). There’s an implication that they know better than you, or that they know you better than you do. And when we use it with ourselves I should have xxxx, there’s quite some layer of guilt or obligation in that statement. Rather, take out the emotional impl...ications by finding others words It might be helpful if.... or Have you considered xyz? And then when we are talking to ourselves, I could have spoken to xyz about my bonus but chose not to but I will tomorrow or It would be good for my health if I go to the gym tonight so I’ll leave work on time.... It’s one of the things I love about language and find so fascinating about people-how often do we actually use the words we need to effectively communicate our message? #words #coach #coaching #mindset #mindsetcoach #womenfindingpurpose #roadmap4success #language #womenempowerment #coachingwomen See more

08.01.2022 A client made the realisation that a lot of her busyness was in fact not very productive. She knew that rationally but just hadn’t realised this habit had crept in. We’re all guilty of it (in the days of lockdown you’ll know I’m avoiding doing something because all of a sudden it’s important that I do the gardening/bake cake/vacuum...). I think what helps is having a manageable to do list (not too long) where I determine in the morning the different priority levels for each. Having lots of things doesn’t necessarily mean doing the right things! So we workshopped her morning routine around her daily planning and now she knows she is working on the stuff that matters first! #mindsetcoaching #mindsetcoachingforwomen #coaching #purpose #lifebydesignnotbydefault #womenfindingpurpose #todolist #empoweringwomen

08.01.2022 For many people, not just women, the mirror does not reflect the jumble of insecure thoughts going on inside. For many years my self beliefs were anchored by this feeling I somehow wasn’t enough. It was exhausting, second guessing everything. It was all my doing (always only real in my head) and I see now I am enough and in fact always was. Whilst still growing and learning I have friendships and relationships that I know I am worthy of. I invest time, love and energy into those and I know I am enough. If you’re second guessing, find the path to stop...it serves no purpose and in fact does you a great disservice. #mindset #mindsetcoachingforwomen #purpose #insecurities #secondguessing #coach #coaching #womenfindingpurpose

08.01.2022 A leopard doesn’t change its spots. And I used to believe it was true...but I don’t anymore. In fact my business is predicated on showing people they can absolutely change, they just have to want to and know how to. As adults it’s more often expressed as ‘evolving’ and whilst you’d imagine most people would evolve, many do not. What self belief do you have that may be limiting your own capacity to evolve? It’s just the way I am It’s just the way I was brought up to be I’m too old to change it’s just in my genes....#womenreturningtowork #mindsetcoachingforwomen #selfbelief #purpose #coaching #livingbydesign

04.01.2022 Keep your face always towards the sunshine and the shadows will fall behind you (Walk Whitman). What a great quote, I love the metaphor. In these bizarre times where you can choose to spend hours reading the news, watching the news and listening to the news, I encourage you to limit that and find time everyday to focus on the future, the good, the positive and the optimistic. Pour your energy into helpful, not unhelpful...it is a choice. #womenreturningtowork #mindsetcoachingforwomen #choices #coaching #lifebydesignnotbydefault #womenfindingpurpose #mindset

03.01.2022 Working with a client last week who realised how futile it is to be constantly overthinking and worrying about things. It’s not problem solving, it’s simply unnecessary thought and energy. Instead, I encouraged him to stare right at the fear and write down the worst possible outcome. Then assess how realistic it is. (It was highly improbable). Then, strategise (problem solve) the steps that could be actively taken to mitigate the worst possible outcome. A clear plan of action moving my client from anxiety to feeling more in control. Don’t waste time worrying...take responsibility and problem solve. #mindsetcoachingforwomen #womenreturningtowork #coaching #livingbydesignnotbydefault #livingbydesign #action #purpose #mindset #womenfindingtheirpurpose

03.01.2022 Whilst this might sound a bit naff and PollyAnna-ish I do believe the theme is very powerful. I translate ‘good’ to mean ‘good, learning opportunity, message of hope’, those sorts of things. Consistent in a lot of the material I work with, it may appear very simple but that doesn’t mean easy. Re-training your brain to move from seeing problems and failures to seeing challenges and opportunities for learning can be hard. Recognising and changing habits takes a commitment to self awareness and taking action to make the change. But it absolutely possible and so worth the journey! #change #changeyourmindset #coaching #coachingforwomen #action #purpose #designyourlife #livingbydesign

02.01.2022 What’s the upside of conflict? As someone who doesn’t enjoy conflict and is getting better at dealing with it, I have found that there is something of real value. If you’re prepared to look. And it is hard because it’s about looking past the actual incident or issue to actually look within and ask why am I feeling this anger/frustration/disappointment ? Conflict is often a clash of values so understanding your own values may give you an insight into their values. And why does that matter? If you want meaningful, healthy and supportive relationships then knowing yourself will take you a long way towards truly knowing someone else. #coach #coaching #mindset #mindsetcoaching #coachingforwomen #womenfindingpurpose #conflict #purpose #personaldevelopment #personalgrowth #personalgrowthanddevelopment

02.01.2022 Today’s thought is about language. I’ve always loved words and language and what I have found fascinating is the choice people make about the words they choose, although often it’s not choice so much as habit. ‘Just’ is one of those words which can be disempowering. This is particularly pertinent to women because it’s habitual and reflects a lack of confidence. I’d just like to ask/know... I’m just wondering... I’m just a housewife/stay at home mum/working part time (fill in blank...). Think carefully when you are about to use it. Is it really necessary? Otherwise it is diminishing whatever you are about to say... #mindset #mindsetcoachingforwomen #mindsetcoach #womenfindingpurpose #coach #purpose #selfbelief #words #wordsmatter
