Point of change

Whether the dilemma is "I don't know", too much choice, too few options or feeling trapped, stuck ..... too tired, exhausted, too busy, too confused?

Coaching helps clarify options and creates a plan of steps and actions on how to get there.  It gives you a confidential space and framework to support you think about what's important to you, right now and for the future.

So maybe you know what you want and dont know how to get there? Maybe you know something has to change and you don't know what or how? Maybe you've been trying and hit obstacles, get stuck?

If you are on the point of change a conversation with a professional coach may just make the difference.

If you want to move forward, things to be different in the next 3,6 months - next year!  Invest in yourself and your life, career, relationships.

Don't be in the same place months from now, still tired, confused, frustrated -  if you are on the point of change and want to make it happen - get in touch, take the first step.  Lets have a conversation and then you can decide - your way forward, a plan that fits you get what you want.

The action is down to you!

Successful outcomes

Think of a scenario that matters to you right now..... something you want a shift in, something that you want to change, something you want to achieve?

1. What is a good outcome?

2. What does a good outcome look and feel like?  When will you have done it by?

3. Imagine you are feeling very satisfied with your success - what would have happened? Tell the story...

In my experience clarity of what a successful outcome is one of the very first step's, get some clarity - once we get clear - that really helps to accelerate our action?

When we "pause", worry, procrastinate, invest in anxiety or just "get busy" just maybe, sometimes it's because we're not clear on the way forward, not clear on the outcome we want?

Jot a few points down - get clear, look at what a successful outcome would look like?

A great piece of client feedback for me was when a client said - I now "think outcomes for myself".

So whatever you are struggling with or want to achieve or would like to change?  Go the outcome and then think - what will success look and feel like?

...and of course I'm here to talk things through too!  Do always feel free to get in touch, call or email.... love to hear from you, whatever your circumstances.

Maximising your leadership time and talents?

One question - Name three thing's that would move you forward the most?

One action - Write down the first three steps you would take and by when?

So coach yourself - get clear and take action.

Maximise your leadership time and talents.  Make this a priority, keep going when it gets tough. You deserve the satisfaction of a successful outcome!

Are you lacking in energy?

I often talk to folks in career transition, redundancy situations, a change programme  - many situations or others that people approach a Coach for.  People feel stuck, in a dilemma, can't decide, anxious, fearful, lack confidence and all of those things affect our energy.....

Or we get stuck, procrastinate over a tax return, changing broadband providers, painting the ensuite, starting the presentation, writing the report, sending the difficult email, having the difficult meeting, conversation?  Ever put more energy into putting things off or just thinking about them - then you found it was easier than you thought?

Is it really that difficult?

So whether a labour intensive or smaller task - finding a new job or setting up a new printer - it needs energy, skill, a plan, action steps - and sometimes just perseverance thrown in!

Sometimes it can be surprising at how investing one hour - makes us feel lighter, a spring in our step, whether it's a feeling of relief or achievement?!

So what would make the biggest difference to your energy today?

Something practical, creative, physical?  Something on your own,  involving others? Something social, professional? Starting something new or completing something

Maria Nemeth in her Mastering Life's Energies book names 6 energies, Money, Time, Physical vitality, Creativity, Relationships and Enjoyment.

Which one do you want to do something about?

Do get in touch if a chat would help.....

Charging ahead or Going backwards?

Hindsight is a wonderful thing?   Sometimes we look back and things make sense - more sense than they did at the time.

Generally though - we have a good feel "in the moment" if we are going in the right direction, on the right track?

Are you standing still, treading water?  Are you moving forward in the direction you want? Is life passing you by?

So what does "Charging ahead/Going backwards" mean to you?  What does that tell you, you, need to do? When do you need to do it by? Set a deadline.

Take courage and take control.

Want to chat things through? Feel free to call or email.
