Coaching from Not A Blue Tree

In this episode, and somewhat later than planned, I sum up all that I've talked about in season 2, which has all been about goal setting and taking action.

There's been a lot to think about, a lot to consider when making plans. Importantly, it's as much about the journey, the action you take, as it is about the destination.

In this episode I talk about outcomes and the importance of looking beyond the very limiting notions of success and failure.

When we make plans and set goals, it's crucial to be as specific as possible. However, when we reach the point of evaluating the steps we have taken and whether we have achieved what we set out to achieve, there is so much more to consider than the binary notion of success or failure.

In this episode I talk about the importance of being as specific as possible when making plans and setting goals. I explain how, by doing so, we can easily establish if we have achieved what we wanted or if we have something else. I also discuss how, by being as specific as we can, we unlock the power of the unconscious mind and its ability to bring into our awareness routes to success.

In this episode, I explore the importance of having purpose, what purpose gives us, and how it can make a real difference to our lives.

In this episode I look at the various options open to you when you realise that you want to move into a better future. It's important to consider what may work for you, depending on where you are in life and what you want to achieve. The important part is to take action and change your story.

Series 2 is a new direction for my podcast. Or, better said, a more focussed direction than the first series. This short episode explains all.

In this episode I talk about how coaching can benefit business owners and senior leaders who are looking to take themselves and their business or organisation to the next level. I also touch open recurring themes around emotional intelligence, resilience and renewal, that all-important self-care.

In this episode I talk about rapport. Firstly, I define rapport and then discuss the benefits of building rapport with the people who enter our lives.

Importantly, I then explain how we can all build rapport more quickly, using three key techniques:

With most of us likely to change career between three and seven times during our work lifetime, it makes sense to think about how we can do this in a way which leads to success. In this podcast I consider the process you may want to follow if your current job is no longer the job for you and you're actively thinking about your next steps.

In this episode I talk about the power of addiction and the potential routes to taking back control. I discuss the various forms that addiction can take and how challenging it can be to recognise that you are no longer in control.

I explain the coaching options that I offer, and how coaching may be the approach that you need, particularly if you have make multiple attempts to start and maintain recovery.
