Achieving Your Potential Coaching
Navigating life's complexities more skilfully
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 …
Fractals in nature, Richmond Park 2019 I love/hate this piece 'The four of you' from @justinadamwise. The idea that when you are in conversation with just one other person, there are actually another two characters there. Uninvited characters.... As we talk to another, especially when the stakes are high or our resilience is low, we …
Great read from Seth Godin today about our stories. As you might have noticed I'm really interested in what helps us make the changes we want to and what holds us back in the patterns that no longer help us. Many of us want to do things differently - speak up in meetings, respond differently …

I was with a client recently and at the same moment we both remembered this quote. We both recoiled as we remembered that we hold ourselves back sometimes, not living our dreams, playing slightly smaller to keep out of too much trouble. It acted as a good reminder to focus on what we really want …

Did you dream of the new job, change in responsibility, improved work relationships? But if only it was as easy as day dreaming - rather …
When people come to coaching they are often looking for new inspiration to help them find their new way forward. We might re-connect them to an old joy such as dancing, drawing or singing, bringing them back to a place where they had good old fashioned fun. As part of this, they often report that …
I saw this in Do the Work by Steven Pressfield. I know a few people who think they procrastinate too much or wait for the perfect solution. How about this for inspiration? Don't prepare, begin. Remember, lack of preparation is not the enemy; it's not the difficulty of the project, or the state of …
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 …
This story from Seth's Blog: The dominant narrative reminded me how we can easily tell ourselves stories about who we are (and who we aren't) and what those around us are up to (and not up to). Too often our stories affect how we respond and become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Me - I 'can't' catch a …
# executivecoaching This quote applies to so many situations! I've rarely found that there is a single solution to reduce your stress, increase your happiness or satisfaction. Instead, there are many small steps that slowly and persistently take us toward a different future. Small steps give us a chance movement, change, shift and a satisfying opportunity to …
