These 3 areas repeatedly come up in coaching and hold the keys to unlocking better time, energy and wellbeing inside organisations.

1. Communication Styles – Navigating the fine line between aggressive, assertive, and passive communication, and how to confidently land on assertiveness.

2. Abundance Mindset – Shifting from a scarcity to an abundance mindset, and how it can transform your approach to work and opportunities.

3. Boundaries – Understanding the importance of boundaries, recognizing strong versus weak boundaries, and how to reinforce them in sensitive situations.

In this episode, we dive into a crucial topic for high achievers who feel stuck or aren’t seeing the progress they expect. It’s easy to confuse capability with capacity, but this common mistake can limit your ability to make big strides forward.

If you're a multi-talented, high performer, you're likely taking on more than you can handle, thinking that just because you're capable, you should do it all. But this mindset can quickly become a barrier to success.

Join me as we explore the difference between capability and capacity and why understanding this distinction is essential for breaking through your current limitations. Whether you're hitting walls with a specific goal or feeling stuck in February, this episode is packed with insights to help you reset and move forward!
