Growth

Coaching is a potent tool for personal and professional growth, offering individuals the guidance, support, and insights needed to reach their full potential. Whether you're striving to improve your leadership skills, achieve career goals, or navigate life's challenges, coaching can be a transformative experience.

Trauma, procrastination, and self-doubt are intertwined in complex ways. Scientific research has illuminated the connection between these aspects, emphasising the importance of understanding and addressing their impact. By seeking support, engaging in therapy, and practicing self-care, you can gradually break free from the cycle, reclaim your sense of worth, and embrace a more empowered and fulfilling life.

Remember, you are fully capable of conquering any fear that comes your way. Embrace fear as a stepping stone towards your personal development. Challenge your perceptions, take small steps, and visualise success.

Black-and-white thinking may provide a temporary sense of certainty, but it limits our personal growth, stifles relationships, and hampers decision-making.

When we have high self-esteem, we respect our true selves. On the other hand, people with low self-esteem will often stop themselves from doing something or from expressing who they are because they fear that they will not be accepted and love for who they are.

We all love a comfort zone - after all, it’s comfortable. In my world of comfort, it would be surrounded by comfy pillows, my favourite blanket, rum and raisin ice cream, strawberries and Cadbury's chocolate, Sunday Roast and Liverpool FC on the TV. But do all of that everyday, and it wouldn’t take a scientist to see and understand that it wouldn’t be good for my health - in any way, shape or form. 

I am all for informing and empowering others. If the clarification of a label and diagnosis help individuals because they provide RESOURCES, SUPPORT, even MEDICATION for a BETTER and more FULFILLING life - then brilliant. But what I am tending to see is too many people limiting themselves. What I am seeing is people seeking a label and then sitting behind excuses. Worse still, being okay with limiting themselves and living being the excuses. Even more so, not being honest with themselves and believing their own BS.

Emotions are contagious. This is incredibly important to understand! You may have noticed that when someone you know is extremely excited, it makes you excited. Alternatively, perhaps you have found that when you talk to someone who is depressed, you walk away feeling sad.

There is a vital flaw in this notion of “discovering” your passion; it gives the impression that your passion is hiding somewhere waiting only to be unearthed. It perpetuates the myth that finding one’s passion is like falling in love at first sight. “Aha! There you are! I’ve been waiting to find you my whole life!”

As a Hybrid Coach, I am fortunate to be able to navigate between these three words on a regular basis. So if you are someone that wants a little of all three, then you have come to the right place.If you are someone wanting more of a traditional route though, you may be wondering what the differences are between the three.Here's something that might help :)

According to psychologists, grit is the ability to commit to long-term goals and see them through despite the adversity we may face along the road to accomplishing our goals. It is tenacity, perseverance, and a meld of other qualities like optimism, self-motivation, and self-discipline.
