Do I Need A Life Coach?

Send us Fan Mail In Episode 51, Rhiannon discusses how you give and receive feedback, and how to establish a solid foundation on which to exchange feedback honestly. We discuss who should give you feedback, and why; when you should ask for it; and for what purpose.  What are you looking for?  We also discuss the need for boundaries and how you can work out what you need from a relationship to feel...

Send us Fan Mail "Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're right." - Henry Ford.  We don't know what we don't know. And what we think having or achieving will give us at the outset, can ultimately lead to us feeling disappointed. On the flip side, the things in life we're forced to fight for, are the things worth having. But how do we know? Navigatin...

Send us Fan Mail Psychological safety. Something you can research, and something you can intellectually understand, but until you feel how it feels to be psychologically unsafe, navigating it may be difficult. In this episode I discuss strategies for pre-empting the risks and potential impacts of feeling psychologically unsafe in the workplace and ways to proactively deal with it before it causes...

Send us Fan Mail We all experience fight or flight, some more dramatically than others depending on our working environment, our upbringing, and our existing patterns of behaviour we have programmed from experience to survive. Our physiological response comes from our interpretation of the environment around us, especially through our eyesight. Being able to regulate that interpretation, to regula...

Send us Fan Mail The impact coaching is so significantly larger than just one person. Often, the presenting problems a client brings to a coach when wanting to work with them is the tip of the iceberg.  Coaching not only helps with the presenting problem (first and foremost), but is a holistically uplifting experience for somebody to experience. When that person experiences coaching, many others a...

Send us Fan Mail “I want what they've got.” “Why haven't I got what I want yet?” .. and so it goes, right?! We've all been there. It takes time to develop an 'attitude of gratitude' when you've been living your life comparing yourself to others. Instead of repeating that old story, and keeping on doing that thing, it takes practice to remind yourself of all the things...

Send us Fan Mail I take you through my sales process to give you an understanding of how I used to sell, and compare it with how I choose to sell now. It's very simple, very personable and very hands off from my point of view. I tell you about my coaching programs, how they work and operate, and what you can expect if you are curious about working with me as client. I also discuss what curren...

Send us Fan Mail How do people perceive you? Do people see what you want them to see? Or is it more likely that they see you exactly as you are?  Having enough self-awareness to understand what others see and then bridge the gap between who you are and how they actually see you is an incredible skill to have. It's also a great skill to have if you’re looking to manipulate the way others perce...

Send us Fan Mail Are you aware of what makes you feel exhausted? Are you aware of what makes you feel invigorated? Being able to handle certain situations at home or at work require you to have a certain level of energy. When you give your energy but don't receive it back, the question needs to be asked.. is this worth it? In this episode we talk about state management, stoicism, and avoiding...

Send us Fan Mail Remember when you started? The passion, the fire, the drive? The discussion, so often when coaching clients is that it's disappeared. Instead, it feels hard and frustrating and the results aren't coming. But what if... actually... they are? Carrying successful energy into the work you're doing to achieve your goal matters. And if your energy is heavy and dejected an...

Send us Fan Mail What makes you feel alive, even if you know it bad for you and maybe shortening your lifespan? Sometimes things that are bad for our physical health are the best things for our spiritual health. There's no rhyme or reason, and I don't believe there's any use in depriving yourself or hiding it from yourself. If you're the sort of person that can work in extremes...

Send us Fan Mail Taking responsibility sucks! But ultimately, when we take responsibility we are able to get what it is we want because we control the story we tell ourselves about everything going on around us. When we tell ourselves a story that serves us, we become empowered instead of giving power to what is external to us and what sits out of our control. Discover ways you can start to: Take...

With a few quick steps to ensure they are done for maximum affect, we unpack what happens neurologically and how to use our brain to make affirmations work for us, forever for the purpose of starting to notice thin...

Send us Fan Mail How do you learn? This information is vital if you're someone who is ambitious, you're wanting growth and chasing goals. Because the faster you learn, the faster you can implement new information to overcome the hurdles on your way to achieving your dreams. The less familiar we are with information, the harder it is to learn. By bringing all of your senses into your lear...

Send us Fan Mail What do you live for? Why are you here? Would you be happy if what you're doing right now you were doing in another two, 5, 10, 20, 50 years down the track? I take you through an exercise I take all of my clients through, to view life from a different perspective and to learn how to consider how you make decisions, through a different lens. Life is happening right now. And wi...

Send us Fan Mail Passion. Meaningful. Fulfilling. Big words we apply to life, work, love… Big words with big meanings. High stakes. But the feelings we have – the passion, feelings of meaning, feelings of fulfilment do or don’t happen day-to-day. When we experience coaching, we start to consider life on a much longer trajectory and how the day-to-day impacts the years and the decades and life. You...

Send us Fan Mail After witnessing both the dark and the light side of coaching, and many social-media debates and heated commentary, ethics is an ongoing topic of conversation in any industry, especially in the unregulated industry that coaching is. Remember, ethics are subjective, so know yours. I know what I mean when I say ethical or unethical and you can think of something as ethical or unethi...

Send us Fan Mail Our ego requires us to feel special. For us to stand out from the crowd and feel like we are unique and different. Our ego serves us in the way of self-confidence, self-satisfaction and pride. It also dis-serves us with self-confidence, pride and self-satisfaction when that behaviour presents as exuberant, smugness or boastful. Our egos are funny things.  Learn how to use yours to...

Send us Fan Mail Sticking to our word and doing things we promised we'd do is the key to confidence and enhancing our self-worth. This increases our confidence, the way we present to the world, our judgement of others and our level of pride and satisfaction with our lives. We use the be-do-have model to explore what results you currently have and why, and link it back to your self-worth. If y...

Send us Fan Mail Awestruck. Wowed. Wonderment. Inspired. When did you last feel any of these? If you're like me, you'll know exactly  how that feels... and how long it's been since you've felt it. Because who wouldn't want to feel this every day? No matter what our age, our responsibilities or our geographic location. As we navigate the seasons of our lives, things we&apos...

Send us Fan Mail Emotions require transference. They are generated within us from our thinking - either from something that's happened external to us or by the way we're thinking about something or someone. Without taking the time to process or transfer these emotions, they will be stored within us and work to find their own way out of our system. Finding resourceful ways to process emot...

Send us Fan Mail Does your workplace have a culture of wanting to be paid more? Perhaps feeling under-appreciated? Not valued? Feeling special is a hard-wired human trait that if met by teams and organisations can pay in dividends. These dividends look like loyalty, hard-work, high performance and independent up-skilling. Rolling out an incentive scheme needs to be standardised, viable for the bus...

Send us Fan Mail Are you in the habit of proactively making decisions? At work or in life? Decisions move us forward because we either make progress or get the feedback we need. This feedback gives us what we need to make our next decision and this is how we move forward faster.  We feel disempowerment when we sit in evaluation mode for too long, or we ignore the decisions we should or could be ma...
