Is it time for you to find a new path?

Sometimes potential clients ask why people look for an Executive Coach.  If I imagine flying above the current situation and hover above the many varied and different challenges we face it often comes down to the fact that clients want to find and take a different path.  That might be a new way of managing …

Silence the Critical Voices in Your Head

This is an interesting article that I offer to those of us who regularly wrestle with our inner critic.  While I don't think we can silence the critical voice, we can certainly boost 'other voices' and pay much less attention to its messages.  https://hbr.org/2016/12/silence-the-critical-voices-in-your-head

What is holding you back from changing?

Have you got back into work after the Christmas break and feeling you wanted a change?  During the break did you you rediscover yourself under the layers of stress and exhaustion?  Did you dream of the new job, change in responsibility, improved work relationships?  But if only it was as easy as day dreaming - rather …

Procrasinating vs Mastering the Art of ‘Just Start’

Are you aware of procrastinating? What is your favourite method? Social media? TV? Tidying? Eating? One of my clients has noticed that he would sometimes rather file his emails than get to the challenging task he is meant to be doing. I view this as good news! He has something to can watch out for …

Are you caught in the ‘don’t know’ trap?

I saw this post recently from @tarasophia and found it quite shocking.  Here is the quote that grabbed me: "When researchers gave women and men a short quiz that tested their financial literacy, men did better. Not too shocking, right? Men are exposed to more informal financial education, and they are encouraged to learn about …

Stuck in a disagreement?

Are you feeling stuck in a #conflict or disagreement with a colleague or family member?  Too often these can feel that they are consuming too much of your brain-time, too much of your emotional energy.  They can be frustrating and easy to get really stuck into a place where you just don't want to budge …

When good conversations take a nasty turn…

I was with a client recently working on a conversation which had snowballed into a thorough disagreement.  Like all tough conversations it had come out of the blue.  Having looked at it from different perspectives she felt that there was a good chance that it could kick off again and wanted to talk about handling …

Practising change not powerpointing it

What does it take for you to take on board a new habit?  To stick to a new gym routine, to journal daily?  To walk a little further?  A lot right?  A lot of commitment and a lot of daily practice and when you fall off, you dust yourself down and start all over again. …

Are you making up stories?

This article from @BreneBrown is really thought provoking!  It highlighted for me how much of the time we can be 'making up stories' about what is going on.  This rarely helps us - but it is hard to resist the hardwiring within most of us to tell a story rather than look at the facts. …
