Coach C.’s Post

Why your values determine your life’s outcome… I really believe this. Even more so because of personal events over the last 3 years. It’s why I dedicate time with clients to unpack theirs in our first few sessions. They a) help me understand your behaviour and b) determine a significant amount of your success. You see, people who are connected and aware of their values make decisions in line with them, and therefore, have more power. Not connected = blind decision making Not connected = ego centric choices Not connected = chasing instant gratification Not connected = lack of clarity Ever been in work or relationship scenarios that “just don’t feel right?” Chances are they were misaligned with your values. Being aware of that helps you navigate the situation with clarity. Being unaware leads to you blaming yourself, persevering in harmful situations, or chasing the wrong path. Don’t believe me? Cast your mind back to the last time something felt like it was a value clash. On a scale of 1-10: ❓How motivated were you, really? ❓How happy or fulfilled were you? ❓Could you REALLY see yourself in that situation long term? ❓How was your mental health? Bet the ratings pretty low right? I made the decision after having my daughter that I could never and would never bend to someone else’s will, or compromise my own values for the sake of their success. And I’ve shown it’s possible to make money, build the career you want, and have the life you deserve by living to your values. It’s not all fluff, it’s a strategic career planning move. Let me show you 👇 P.S please enjoy this selfie of us with Octopussy, my child’s new favourite toy (which weirdly she actually named without any Bond knowledge) 🐙😻 #career #careerplanning #values #coach

If you also feel like you're not making headway on your goal, and you feel stuck, chances are your actions (and non-actions) are arguing for where you are or for your past, not what you really truly desire.   It totally makes sense. Your experience is grounded in the past and what you've done. Plus, what is familiar is safe. It keeps you surviving.   The thing is you want to thrive. That frustration you feel at falling into old patterns and being stuck, despite being committed to wanting to create a new career and life for yourself, is your future self talking. She knows you're capable of so much more.   Here's the thing -- All the reasons to stay small and in what's familiar are made up.  They're stories in your mind, rooted in fear, which loves to catastrophize that finishing the paper and the degree, upleveling your career, finishing the novel, getting your first speaking gig will be the death of you and everything you've known and built.   They feel real and valid, but they're just stories -- thoughts and beliefs that you've picked up or built along the way. This is great news because it means that the opposite of these stories is just as equally true and possible.  It's just as possible that you finish the paper on time and do well, complete the degree with relative ease, land the position you've been eyeing, shift to a dream career, finish the novel and land an agent, get your first speaking gig.   I know it's easier to believe the ones where we fail because our brains have a negativity bias. That's why you need to consciously choose the other stories and believe they're just as possible. So why not choose to believe your success is inevitable, if you're believing stories anyway? It's a much better, more expansive story than the one that has you failing. Shifting away from unhelpful stories and developing a more supportive set of self-beliefs is part of the work you do when we work together. Book a consult call and let's change today's story for tomorrow's success. https://buff.ly/45ZxzJd #changeyourthinking #confidence #getunstuck #highachievingwomen #impostersyndrome

Staying Focused on Your Goals Amid Distractions As a young man navigating through life, it’s easy to get sidetracked by various distractions—whether it’s the allure of alcohol, social media, or peer pressure. However, it’s crucial to remember that our choices today shape our future. Setting clear goals and staying committed to them is essential for personal and professional growth. Here are a few strategies to help maintain focus: 1. Define Your Goals: Write down what success looks like for you. Whether it’s excelling in your studies, building a career, or developing personal skills, clarity is key. 2. Surround Yourself with Positivity: Engage with individuals who inspire and motivate you. A supportive network can make all the difference. 3. Limit Distractions: Identify what pulls your attention away from your goals and find ways to minimize these distractions. 4. Practice Self-Discipline: Cultivating self-discipline is vital. Start small and gradually build your ability to resist temptations. 5. Seek Help When Needed: If you find yourself struggling with addiction or other challenges, don’t hesitate to reach out for support. There’s strength in seeking help. Remember, the path to success is often filled with obstacles, but staying focused on your goals will lead you to a fulfilling future. Let’s commit to making choices that empower us rather than distract us! #FocusOnGoals #PersonalDevelopment #YoungLeaders #StayMotivated #SuccessMindset #SelfDiscipline #PositiveChoices

It is important to approach goal setting and our dreams with a positive AND realistic mindset to shed those pesky self-imposed limits. Anything less is already setting ourselves up for failure. ⭐ Work on small goals — Take things one step at a time with attainable and measurable goals. ⭐ Meditate — Get a clear picture of what you want to achieve in the first place. Clarity is key otherwise losing sight is inevitable. Meditation also helps gain focus. ⭐ Invest in yourself — take classes for skillsets that are needed or purchase the tools necessary to complete the work towards your dream. ⭐ Develop a mantra — Keep it positive and encouraging. This can also help keep your reason for what you are doing strong and fresh in your mind. ⭐ Create or find a community or network — This provides support, accountability, and gives ideas and feedback along the way to achieving your goals. Within the last year, I have started on the road to overcoming my fears and insecurities to achieve my goals. Shedding the limits I have spent years meticulously building to protect myself is not an easy task. It’s downright frightening, but it is also exhilarating. Recognizing and feeling my past accomplishments has helped me to realize my future capabilities are endless. It reminds me of my growth and the rewards I have reaped both through the process and at the end. It promises to deliver again and again. Building and cultivating a support network has done wonders to give me a safe space to test the waters and gain the feedback necessary to take another step with a sure footing. And if I fall? Then others are there to help apply some first aid and get me back on my feet again. So I tell you, what I have told myself: Be courageous! You are stronger than your fears! With confidence, inward motivation, and support networks, we can achieve amazing heights and then it’s only that the sky is the limit! #amwriting #goalsetting #yougotthis #motivation #tipsandtricks #creativecontent

🌟 **Breaking Free from the Chains of Job-Related Depression** 🌟 For many of us, our work is a significant part of our identity. But what happens when that job starts weighing us down, making us feel trapped, unfulfilled, or even depressed? For the 40-year-old man who feels stuck in a role that no longer brings joy, know this: your current situation doesn’t define your future.

Aligning your work with your core values can reignite your passion. 3. **Set New Goals**: Life is a journey, and it’s never too late to change course. Define what success looks like for you now. 4. **Seek Support**: You don’t have to do this alone. A coach can help you navigate this transition, offering strategies and support as you take the leap toward a fulfilling career. Remember, your best days are ahead of you. Every small step you take today can lead to the transformation you’ve been longing for.

Often, a career transition is triggered by a dramatic ending. It could be a layoff, divorce, health crisis, or other life events that change everything. As you design your next chapter, you are confronted with the feelings and consequences of an epic ending. I have found that three steps, taken consciously, can significantly assist you. Step One: Grieve Taking account of your losses is like cleaning a wound. It hurts a lot, but it prepares you to heal. Your approach to grief will be personal. No one can tell you exactly how to address your losses. You will determine if it’s journaling, therapy, meditation, long walks on the beach, or all of the above. Step Two: Ground Ask yourself, “How am I right now?” You are breathing, you have people who love you and people you love. You might be able to see the sunshine or feel the breeze. You are alive. Ask yourself again, “How am I now?” Moment by moment you regain your faith in yourself and your future. Step Three: Go Yep, there is a time for action. But, be aware you may cycle back to grief and may need to ground yourself along the way. Endings are unpredictable and take longer than you want them to. Meanwhile, you must move forward, both for yourself and for others who might love you or depend on you. Taking the Elevations career assessment at this juncture is brilliant. It helps you refocus on who you are and who you want to become. While career coaching is not therapy, as a coach, I do important healing work. I can listen, offer support, and perhaps most importantly, observe and describe the improvements I witness. Being a career coach is both fulfilling and challenging. I’m so grateful to do this work. If you are drawn to the field of career coaching, your timing is amazing. The next cohort for the Career Coach Entrepreneur Academy is starting September 17, 2024.

What the hell happened? If you’re a successful, self-led woman with a strong professional outer game yet feeling deep down that something is missing - and not doing anything about it. This is what you’re going to be asking yourself. It may not be tomorrow. Or next month. I guarantee you this. It’s coming. You’ll wake up one morning in your Frette white sheets and go What. The hell. Happened? WTF. You’re smart, sophisticated, driven, with a booming career/biz. You’ve been super “successful”. You have all the things. You’ve worked HARD. For YEARS. You also have kids, a relationship. Family. Friends. A life. But despite the healthy balance of your bank account you don’t have the time or the freedom to enjoy any of it. So I ask you. Why are you so loyal to the life you have right now? The one where you have soared to the heights of your professional game but you just feel SO STUCK. And unfulfilled. So unhappy. Let me just answer this question for you. The thought of leaning back and taking your foot off the gas scares the crap out of you. You’ve been in your masculine for so long it’s your identity.
