4.05 How to send that scary email

Send Vikki any questions you'd like answered on the show!

Today I’m sharing a real life coaching experience we had in the membership this week. One of the members came to an online coaching session because she had a “scary” email to send and she realised she’d been procrastinating for what felt to her like ages. You have likely experienced this too! The trouble is, when it feels scary, we often end up overthinking it, making it more complicated than it needs to be, and/or putting off actually sending the email for a long time. In this episode, I take you through the process I took my member through to go from “I’m too scared” to “let’s get this done”.

If you found this episode useful, you might like this client Q&A episode, where I discuss post-deadline slumps, uncommunicate supervisors, and judging your own work.
