Find Solid Ground Coaching

Women are flexible and resilient; they can adapt to change. While that’s true, it goes in the category, “just because you can, doesn’t mean you should”. I have adjusted to the career choices of my husband multiple times, moving to where his best opportunities were because I was up for the adventure and knew I could “grow where I was planted”. That’s all well and good, but I could have asserted my ambitions and done more with my career. What held me back was not believing in my ambitions enough to defend them. I did not seek out role models or mentors to help me, instead I kept my nose to the grindstone and hoped for the best. What would have helped me was to intentionally visualize where I wanted to be in 5, 10, 20 years. I hope you are intentional about your career and life!

The most important principle in life coaching is listening, better yet, “active listening”. Active listening is the practice of paying full attention to and absorbing what someone is saying. It is an attempt to demonstrate unconditional acceptance and unbiased reflection of what you are hearing. It helps me to come to a conversation with a blank slate, no agenda and a lot of curiosity. Another useful phrase is to listen “for” instead of listening “to”. In this case you are listening with a curiosity to learn from what the other person is saying. Try it out!

I really enjoyed sharing my thoughts about life coaching and how you can use tools and processes to create the life you desire! If you didn't get to make it to the webinar, here is a link to the recording. https://vimeo.com/711869442
