Creating lasting change and transformation – new course

Today I’m super proud to launch a new self-paced course called “Creating the life you want: lasting change and transformation”, you can find it here.

This course represents hours of work, knowledge and learnings gained over the years. Everything I have used myself in order to change my life, and all my lessons learned based on personal experience.

Inside you will find a bunch of practical tools for you to implement in your life. It’s not fluffy, empty-worded, selling a dream that you don’t know what to do with. It’s got worksheets, journaling prompts and things that will make it tailored made to you. This is what will allow you to create the life you want, not something generic that fits for a bit of everything and nothing at the same time.

I truly believe in its ability to impact people and help them create change, and I hope you find it meaningful. I created it because I really want to enable people to drive change in their lives, and to empower you. I hope you like it, it will mean the world to me if you take it and it has a positive impact on you.

Why I decided to become a coach

If you’ve been following this blog for a while, or maybe you’ve come across one of my previous posts, then you will know that my coaching journey started back in 2016, and it has been truly transformative. When I first agreed to try coaching it was for two reasons. One was out of curiosity, having only ever been to therapy before. Can coaching help me? What is this trendy thing popping up? And the other was because I thought “maybe I can be a coach! I have to test this for myself”. As I just finished my coaching training with the CTI and am officially a coach, I wanted to take time to reflect on this journey.

How to find the right coach?

So you’re thinking of starting coaching, but how do you find the right one for you? If you’re a first-timer to coaching this is a very important process, and I’m not going to lie, it’s a bit of a minefield. For the past 20 years (or maybe even more), the coaching industry has grown like crazy and now coaches are a dime a dozen! To make it even more confusing you have different kinds of coaches: life coach, business coach, relationship coach, empowerment coach, career coach, Executive coach… As well as people who proclaim themselves coaches without really being one. Just writing this list makes me chuckle because it goes to show how nebulous the term is. How on earth will you find the right coach in this haystack?

How coaching changed my life

How coaching changed my life
Picture by Anna Alekseeva

It was recently world mental health day, and I started thinking about how much my life has changed and how I got to where I am today. I’m so happy that currently I experience a lot less anxiety, depression and general low moods. I’m also happy that I no longer work in a toxic environment and actually feel safe in my job, something that hugely contributes to overall good mental health. But this didn’t happen by accident or overnight. For me the thing that has significantly impacted my mental health is coaching, and I wanted to share why.

A decade of mental health

A decade of mental health

With the ushering in of a new decade, naturally I started thinking about what I had accomplished in the past 10 years. There were many different things and it seemed more sensible to break it down into categories, which is when I thought of the last decade purely in terms of mental health.

What happened, and what has it represented to me? I wanted to take the time to reflect and put “pen to paper”. After all, “That’s mental” wasn’t born out of thin air.

How to know when to quit your job?

how to know when to quit your job

I’m pretty sure that at least once in your life you’ve thought to yourself: “that’s it, I quit!”

If you haven’t then you are one of those very fortunate people who gets to do a job they love, or else perhaps you’re delusional… Just kidding!

More seriously, I don’t think there are many people who have not gone through a difficult time at work, or considered their career options, without thinking about quitting. It’s natural and perhaps even healthy to question your choices every now again. But it begs the questions of all questions (sort of like knowing who is “the one”): how do I know when to quit? To answer that, I’d like to share my experience.
