The one thing that is truly amazing about coaching individuals is that no two conversations are EVER the same. Each individual has a different mindset, history, family, friends and present circumstances which make them who they are. I was asked just yesterday what are some of the key topics that you coach individuals on? All coaching conversations are of course confidential, however, I felt in this week’s blog it would be good to explore some of the recurring themes and you will also begin to understand you are NOT alone!
Your Relationships
Our relationships with our partners, family, friends, peers, work colleagues and acquaintances are consistently the backbone of 90% of coaching conversations. Often, a client will come to me with an issue at work, lacking motivation or with low self-esteem but behind this is often a fractured relationship, power struggle or a family issue which is impacting on their overall wellbeing.
Your Career
It is easy to settle in a career which provides you with financial stability and doesn’t push us too far outside of our comfort zone. However, you will never be fulfilled if you don’t truly do something you love. After all it’s important to remember, you spend more time at work than you do at home. Some people subconsciously hide away from the fact that they are unhappy in their work because they are scared of the unknown and the impact that doing something differently.
Your Confidence & Body Image
It never ceases to amaze me the number of gorgeous and successful people who struggle with so many confidence hang-ups. On the outside they portray a calm and confident demeanour but on the inside they are struggling with so many personal confidence issues. This can be anything from appearance, communication or related to their jobs and personal relationships. The quote “everyone is struggling, some people just hide it better than others,” is so true when it comes to confidence. Having low self-esteem, body image and confidence can feel like have a noose around your neck on a daily basis. Low confidence will prevent you from you reaching your full potential. The amazing thing is though it’s something that can be solved so quickly. Don’t let confidence hold you back, there are some really straightforward strategies that will transform you
Your Purpose
Often individuals will contact me because they know they want more from life in general but perhaps don’t know exactly what that looks like. A conversation around what is really important to you both personally and in your work life can bring simple clarity to what you want to do next. Setting goals is fundamental to living on purpose and feeling fulfilled in all aspects of your life and this is something that I explore in all coaching whatever the topic.
Do you want to makes last changings and do things differently in 2014?
Coaching for me personally opened up a whole new opportunity and outlook on life a few years ago and it is amazing to work with clients who truly want to make changes for a more fulfilling life. It certainly isn’t easy stepping outside of what you know and contemplating a whole new career, purpose or relationship. Life is tough and we all have our own personal struggles whether it be confidence, career, relationships or something you feel is completely irrelevant, if it’s having a negative impact on your wellbeing you need to speak about it and find a workable solution that will benefit you!
We always love to speak with individuals around their needs and the opportunity to coach is a privilege.
