As a coach, I've met many individuals who, despite their achievements, find themselves doubting their capabilities. This doubt often leaves them feeling stuck in their careers. However, I've witnessed firsthand the monumental difference coaching can make in their lives. Take a brilliant past client of mine who struggled with self-doubt, unable to present ideas confidently or effectively connect with executives. Although these might seem like personal hurdles, they are significant barriers to leadership and impact. During our coaching sessions, we focused on: 👉🏿 Building confidence in self-presentation 👉🏿 Aligning her thinking with organizational goals 👉🏿 Overcoming imposter syndrome 👉🏿 Enhancing public speaking skills 👉🏿 Developing authentic professional relationships After our sessions, she experienced pronounced changes: ✅ Increased confidence, leading to more visibility and influence within her company ✅ Enhanced strategic and public speaking skills ✅ A significant reduction in feelings of inadequacy ✅ More authenticity in her professional relationships Today, she leads with conviction, speaks with clarity, and strategizes with insight. She has truly embodied the leader she was meant to be, finding her voice and her place within the organization. Her transformation was not about climbing the corporate ladder but about uncovering her own voice and space within it. So, why coaching? Coaching isn’t just about addressing weaknesses; it's about unlocking your fullest potential. It's a journey of self-discovery and mastering a skill. Whether you're aiming to lead more effectively, communicate more clearly, or align your career with your values, coaching is one of the most effective ways to enhance your performance. Let's talk about how coaching can be your catalyst for change.

What makes a good fit in coaching? It’s a question I explored today in a chemistry session with a prospective leadership creative client. There are countless performance coaches out there, each with their unique style and approach. But finding your right fit is key. For me, coaching isn’t about pressure or perfection: it’s about creating a safe, relaxed and gently challenging space where you can truly show up as your whole, authentic self. In this space, vulnerability it’s welcomed and celebrated. Emotions can flow freely and be explored without judgment. Yes, there will be challenges: coaching is about growth, after all! But they come with steady support, tailored to you. A relaxed approach doesn’t mean less impact. It means you’re at the center of everything: your goals, your pace, your agenda. The coaching relationship thrives on trust, respect, and openness, forming a foundation where transformation happens naturally. Coaching is deeply personal, so if you’re looking for someone to partner with on this journey, take your time. The best fit is one that feels like home, but with new furniture: a place where you’re seen, heard, and empowered to grow and gain new perspectives. #leadershipcoaching #findyourcoach #chemistrycoaching

I wish I had another story of a successful coaching experience to share... I don't. At least not today. Instead, I want to share how I messed up the other day. 😕 Coaching is about the client. Their needs, their goals, their fears. I learnt how to focus on my clients whilst also being aware of what's going on inside me. I find this generally helpful in life - being able to distinguish between my own stuff and other people's stuff. But awareness is also at the core of my coaching. However, occasionally, we touch on topics that trigger something inside me. Usually something that I am going through at that moment and that I haven'f figured out yet. So it happened with a client and we both left the meeting puzzled and full of doubts. Should I have everything figured out in order to be a great coach? Of course not. That's not possible. We keep learning and changing our whole life, I believe. So how did I deal with the mess I had created? I agreed with the client to call her a few days later. Until then I would sit down and figure out what had happened. We talked. We decided to keep working together. 😊 Not my most glorious moment. But I learnt a lot about myself. And about my client. It helped us establish an honest relationship. I believe we can learn more from our failures than from our successes. You don't need to have it all figured out to do a great job. Allow yourself to grow. Through your achievements and your failures. Take your time. Surround yourself with people who are willing to talk things through. ❤️ #careercoaching #leadershipcoaching #lifelonglearning #honestymatters #changemakers

How My Clients Succeed in Coaching My clients come to me eager to reach their goals, wondering about timelines and what I bring to the table. But true success in coaching hinges on their readiness to focus on their desired outcomes and embrace the coaching process. The success rate for my private coaching clients stands at 90%, but it all boils down to how they show up. I've analyzed what sets my most successful clients apart, and I invite you to explore the below and see what comes up. Active Engagement and Commitment: ➡ Embrace coaching guidance, take action, stay curious, and come prepared with questions. ➡ Remain active between sessions, seeking clarification, sharing updates, and tracking progress. Continuous Growth and Learning: ➡ Develop self-belief through continual practice and engage in honest self-reflection and ownership. ➡ Pursue ongoing learning opportunities and embrace discomfort in pursuit of growth. Networking and Persistence: ➡ Prioritize networking and are relentless in pursuit of their results. ➡ Learn to detach from the result, become comfortable with short-term failure and rejection, and remove the pressure of timelines to create space for opportunities. When you open yourself up to opportunities and are supported by a collaborative thought partner to navigate challenges, you inevitably pave the way for success. And that's the work I do with my clients, identifying the patterns no longer serving you to remove the roadblocks to your goals. But first, you need to be open and relentless to get there. #leadershipcoaching #careercoaching #womeninleadership

Throwing your hands up for help might sound like a death sentence. Like admitting defeat. "Shouldn't I have been able to figure this out on my own by now? What is wrong with me? I'm the dependable one. The solid rock. The pillar for others to lean on." 💪 In many ways, you definitely are, and people are depending on you. But if the pillar falls, the whole structure inevitably follows. So, it is your essential job to fortify the pillar—to pour into yourself, to put your internal structure in order, and to become more stable on the INSIDE. Which is no small feat in this chaotic world, where there is so little true outside support and so few people modeling this way of being and moving through the world. This is exactly what I help my clients with through my coaching process—turning their attention inward for a change. The clients I work with in my 1:1 coaching programs are driven individuals in leadership positions and frequently small family business owners. They are hyperaware of their outer challenges, mostly focusing their ATTENTION OUT, doing their best to meet needs, respond to demands, be productive, and keep the peace. ATTENTION IN ❤️💪 It will have a positive ripple effect on you & your team. It is a gift to yourself and everyone around you. It’s a tall order, and no one can do this work for you. If this speaks to you and you'd like a supportive ally to help you navigate your blind spots, amplify your strengths, and dial up your potential, feel free to connect with me.

The hunt for purpose? It's hardly ever a straight, clean shot. Some lucky ones have a clear, sharp clarity right from the start! As for the rest of us... It can feel like "stumbling through a maze without any clear signs". Can you relate? I sure can! Most of my world fall in the latter category. And, as I looked back at my winding maze so far... I am glad I stayed open to #possibilities. I am glad for the coaches I have worked with on my work and in life over the years. Working with a coach helps us connect with our inner voice that guides . Listening to our inner voice is a transforming process. Here, I truly believe having a coach can help. Sometimes, I wonder, "Why are we hesitant to reach out for resources that is available to us in today's world?" A coach is one such resource. With a coach's support, every twist and turn brings you closer to uncovering your true calling. It transforms the journey from relying on sheer luck to confidently navigating your path. Clarity takes work. Growth takes time. #CoachingWorks - it turns the maze into a map, lighting the way to your purpose.
