You can do it too :) ———  Coaching isn’t about fixing yourself. Coaching is about returning home to yourself. Every coaching conversation is a dedicated space where you can meet yourself again. Come home today. Book a free coaching consult today: https://poojavcoaching.com/contact What my clients have to say… “I was worried about the cost. But every single session was well worth it.  Coaching with...

I extra pinky promise 🤙🏼 ———  It’s not hard to like yourself, or to be confident. You already have mountains of evidence and piles of accomplishments to prove your case. What’s hard is showing your brain that it’s SAFE to like yourself.  That it’s SAFE to be confident.  That it’s SAFE to give yourself grace for your mistakes. That it’s SAFE to let your guard down and relax into the truth that yo...

Just keep walking. ———  Sometimes, a coach helps you figure out what’s going wrong and how to fix it. And sometimes, a coach helps you realize nothing is going wrong, and all you need to do is keep on going. Both are equally important. Your brain is a problem-finding machine. (This is a good thing!) And as you work through the queue of problems your brain has identified… You want to solve REAL pro...

It's like trying to run a race with a broken leg ———  Do you know what it takes to build a better relationship with yourself and eliminate your imposter syndrome? Consistent reps. Troubleshooting and adjusting when it doesn’t work. More consistent reps. That’s it. It’s a skill and a habit, just like any other. If you can learn a new language… If you can learn how to build a model in Excel… If...

And what to do about it ———  I just gave you the answer. So why would you still need a coach? Because your mind will fall out of its Want-based why’s and its Surplus Mindset on a regular basis. You have a habit of being motivated by Should’s (and maybe even disregarding or being skeptical of your wants). You have a habit of putting yourself in a Deficit Mindset (and maybe even thinking that praisi...

Focus your energy in the right direction. --- I know. This can be easier said than done. If you’re struggling with this, that is completely understandable. Your brain is not crazy. It has valid, logical reasons why it’s hanging on to its resistance of the situation — why it’s fighting acceptance. So come talk to me and let’s figure out what they are. And let’s get you on the path to acceptance rat...

When the downside is totally okay, everything becomes less scary. --- You know what else makes it easier to go through stressful situations and take scary risks? Having someone by your side, guiding you, cheerleading you, and helping you problem-solve. I don’t do this alone — I talk to a coach every week. You don’t have to do it alone either. Come talk to me, and let me help. Book a free coaching...

Make whatever you're nervous about an asset, not a liability. --- What do you think determines your ability to land the role you want? Tactics? Preparation? Experience? Connections? Those things all help too… But you know what I think is the most important? Emotional management. Deciding on, recruiting for, and landing your next role requires going through LOTS of emotions. Confusion. Self-dou...

Sometimes, it's not you. It's the setting. --- I don’t know whether you should stay in your job or quit it. But I do know HOW you can come to the right decision for you in a thoughtful, deliberate way. No rage-quitting or doom-staying here :) We’ll take the tangle of fears, concerns, and frustrations out of your brain and put them on paper. Then we’ll work through them one by one until you...

Information gap vs. interpretation gap This is what it looks like to solve your work stress — not just survive it. If you liked this…then you’ll love coaching with me.

Now, I work with it and am like, ‘Oh, right, it's doing this to prot...
