Create Your Best Chapter

As a coach, I've experienced the profound impact of holding space for my clients. However, this skill goes far beyond coaching; it extends to every aspect of our lives as managers, leaders, parents, friends, and fellow human beings. Holding space is a universal need that we all have, and it's something we can learn, nurture, and develop over time.

In our fast-paced, divided world, we often find ourselves eager to offer solutions, opinions, or distractions when someone shares their experiences with us. But true connection lies in the art of holding space, allowing others to express themselves fully without judgment or interruptions. It's about being present, empathetic, and creating a safe environment for them to open up.

In this episode, learn the benefits of holding space, how we can practice it effectively, and the transformative gift it can be for ourselves and others.

• What it means to “hold space” for people, plus eight tips on how to do it well - Heather Plett

In today's episode, I discuss the need for meaningful connections and friendships. We all desire deep, fulfilling conversations, mutual respect, and unwavering support from the people in our lives.

But in this digital age, where social media dominates our interactions, are we truly connecting? Statistics show that despite spending almost two hours daily on social networks, our social lives might not be as fulfilling as we'd like.

I share some practical ways that you can start to connect, or reconnect with people in your life. Be the catalyst for connection!

In today's episode, I explore Chapter 7 of William Walker Atkinson's book, "Thought Vibration". This chapter is about the futility of worrying, and how we need to banish worry in order to take action forward.

The lesson in this chapter is about resilience and our ability to overcome challenges. 

Originally published in 1908, the concepts and lessons in "Thought Vibration" are timeless.

In today's episode I explore the topic of ghosting and ask where you are possibly ghosting yourself.

I share my personal experience with ghosting, or not keeping my word to myself.

Here are three key takeaways:

- Shift Your Mindset: Sometimes, it's easy to get stuck in a negative cycle of frustration and complaint. But, we must take responsibility to change the situation. Focus on how you can shift your energy from scarcity to abundance by affirming and having faith that the perfect outcome is out there.

- Keep Your Word To Yourself: The most important thing towards achieving your goals and dreams is to keep your word to yourself. Recognize where you're out of integrity with your words, actions, and promises to yourself. Evaluate your values and be honest about what would make you happy in life

- Stop Making Excuses: "I don't have time" is the biggest lie when it comes to not doing something. If there's something you say you want to do, but you're not doing it, it's time to evaluate why.

On this episode I share my insights on the quote "If not now, then when? If not me, then who?" and how it can motivate us to take action and make positive changes in our lives.

There's never a perfect time to make a change and excuses such as not having time, not being able to afford it, or having other priorities are usually lies that cover up the true reasons behind the decision not to act. Holding ourselves accountable, owning our decisions, and being honest about our reasons and excuses can help us make positive changes in our lives.

In this episode I share three stories from three individuals that really inspired me.

I wanted to share them with you because I think its so good to hear other people’s challenges and how they chose to overcome them, instead of letting their life circumstances control them. These individuals decided to not let the curveball that life threw at them to dictate their direction – they chose to take the reins, set an intention for how they wanted to respond, who they wanted to be, and take action towards getting through the challenge.
