Does "where you want to get to" or the change you seek/ need - feel hard, too big, impossible, scary?
Whatever your circumstances - you can get going quite quickly. Sometimes talking to a coach is a good starting point, you will hear yourself answer where you are now and where you want to get too.
You will plan some actions to get you started, depending on what you say. The agenda is yours, my only agenda as a coach is to support you get what you want, support you in achieving success.
When we want something, new, different, to change - take one action, however simple to get you going. You may already know what that is, maybe been putting it off, had it on a "to do" list.
Talking in an independent, confidential coaching session means you've taken a step to get you started. In my experience folks are very glad they took the step.
Just yesterday on the phone a client squealed and said "I'm so happy - I cant believe you've got this out of me, this makes me feel so good" (She was talking about all the things she is good at for her cv/ job application).
And for some meeting a coach for the first time is exciting or scary and a range of emotions in between?
I'm here to support and would love to be working alongside YOU in getting what you want.
Do get in touch, no obligation. We can talk, meet and then you decide - however you will be clear on some actions to get you started.

When I asked a client recently how they'd been they said "The last session, it was quite a pivotal moment and I've felt more of myself since. The old me is coming back...my confidence returning".
Made me think about pivotal moments?
How often do they happen in your life, your job, your leadership? Was it obvious at the time, did you recognise it as such?
A pivotal moment which gives you energy, direction, insight, tenacity to see your dream, idea through - the tenacity to overcome bumps along the way. Step over bumps, don't stand on them for too long - your feet sink!
Take just a short moment to breathe and think...
When was your last pivotal moment?
Take the first step, do it, keep it small and simple...
Change can happen for you and it can start soon - get connected to your pivotal moment for this time of your life. I'd love to work alongside you, in a holistic way, in your career and in your life.
Do get in touch for a confidential chat, ask anything you want and if you'd like to, tell me anything that's important to you to tell me.
]]>If you were advising a good friend what would you say to them, if they were in your circumstances right now? What do you need to give yourself permission about?
So many things can stop us, block us, hold us back.....
....in all the busyness of your life and work, lots of plates spinning, many responsibilites.
Give yourself permission to be yourself today, to give yourself what you need for today.....your team, colleagues, staff and your loved ones will benefit too!
Your thoughts and feelings are valid.
Breathe deeply, pause, give yourself permission - and then see it through.
]]>
What do you think?
You can change more than you might imagine. Give yourself permission to try something out, try something new, just do the thing you've been meaning to do for ages - something small, switch from worry to tangible steps ......
"Wish I'd done it before" "I cant believe it took me so long" "If only I'd done something about it..... " "What a waste of my time/life" Much better to know you've given it your best shot, do you reckon?
If you feel your feet are stuck in treacle in a certain area of your job or life, get unstuck - take one small action and then keep going!
Fear needs action, take some and feel better soon.
PS - dont overthink it, that can keep you in treacle!!

What is "it"? - are you willing to put energy in?
Sometimes it doesn't take as much effort or time as we think - sometimes "it" is even a quick task or conversation with huge pay back. Many times I've spent longer worrying, dreading, procrastinating than the task or conversation took me ........ "wish I'd done that weeks, months, years ago" has gone through my mind more than once!! I hear it too with clients.
So this week, month, coming year - are you ready to make it count?
I have a hunch you are ready to make something REALLY count in your life .... you're reading this?
Imagine your goal was achievable with more ease than you thought, how would you feel?
Lets go for it together - I'm willing and ready to give it my best shot to support - if you are!
Contact me....lets chat - Make it count!!
]]>
For you, what do you need?
... and lets throw self control into the pot for good measure!
I was writing myself a post it note and by mistake wrote self discipline, I actually meant self determination .... it set me thinking - and now my self determination post it has really helped me as a visible reminder of who and what I need to be, to achieve this particular goal
Who and what do you need to be right now for what you are trying to achieve?
]]>What are the conditions you need for success - you have individual qualities, strengths, skills, experiences, feelings, preferences, red buttons, aspirations?
The context, conditions, support you need are very individual to you?
So do you have those conditions, personal to you - whatever they are ..... maybe a good boss, great working environment, trusted colleagues to talk to, flexibility, a tidy desk, a great PA, time for thinking, time for yourself, time with others to discuss ideas, structure, regular holidays, hobbies, exercise, healthy eating, clear direction, career progression prospects, challenge and stimulation, reading time, great partner/friends/relationships, intellectual debate, support ..... whatever it is?? I dont know what yours are, do you ? - tell me though....
I know I'm successful when I have certain "things in place"
A coach is one of my own conditions for success!
What are your conditions for success? - It's a powerful question - think about it - so what can you do to improve your chances of success ...... one thing, take action, create the conditions you need...start today
Is coaching one of the conditions for success that would make you more successful? As always, do get in touch, email or call ....... to explore, chat or ask any questions
Get the conditions for success you need in place - it will make a difference!

Familiar ... things you're committed to not at the top of your list?
Then aha! - a number of things connected together..... an article, a chat with another coach, a webinar, a meeting I'd been at ...... I hadn't connected them together ... hadn't taken the time to think ..... if only I'd seen the connection earlier ... it explained a lot ... a lot of what I was feeling
Oh the time and energy I could have saved myself .... yet again .... something I know, buried in the busyness
10/15 minutes would have done it ....

Sometimes we want life to move on in a big way - we want to jump over the river and already be on the other side
Sometimes the river is quite wide....can we do it in one jump? - do we need stepping stones? What is the other side.....do we know we want to leave the river bank we're presently on, we want to leap, jump...but where to??
What's today's stepping stone for you?
If you want things to be different, want life to leap forward....put your foot on a stepping stone...ahh, phew, that feels better already ( although...may be a little scary) ....still feels better? Does it?
