I am naturally a talker, I talk to think, I talk to process and for many years I talked to fill an awkward silence.

So how does somebody who loves to talk, who talks to process, who talks to think become a coach?

As a coach, silence is our friend: silence gives people processing time, silence means that people can really think and consider their answer, silence doesn’t have to be filled 

Silence is one of the simplest tools in the coach's toolkit and surprisingly can take a while to use as a tool!

 

Here are the highlights from this episode:

{2:13} How as a coach, silence means that we give our clients the space to think and consider

{5:03} Our role as a coach as a partner to our coachees

{6:36} We can only go as deep with our clients as we have gone ourselves

{8:15} Great coaches have the belief that they're able to grow their skills

I truly believe that coaching is transformational which is why I trained as a coach and have always worked with coaches. 

Over the last decade coaching has helped me:

• Gain confidence in a leadership role 
• Increase my awareness of my strengths and build on these 
• Become a better leader and manage my team more effectively 
• Step out of a secure professional role and start my business 
• Build two successful businesses 
• Value myself more and step into my purpose 
• Challenge myself to be better and to think differently

For me, coaching has helped me develop, and by having regular coaching I now feel happier and more fulfilled than I have done for years 

As you know I love what I do and am on a mission to help others connect to themselves at a deeper level through coaching

{1:22} Where my own coaching journey began

In a world where it can often feel like we live in an echo chamber, surrounding ourselves with people that think the same as ours, that echo our beliefs and our values, Coaching allows us to have space to really challenge how we think. 

I've been reading a fantastic book by Adam Grant called Think Again over the last couple of weeks and what really struck me is that part of the way that we help people be successful through coaching, is that we get them to get out of their head and to examine what is going on with their thoughts and where these thoughts come from and how valid those thoughts are if they can look at things in a different way. 

It's becoming increasingly important that we allow ourselves that space to really examine what is going on in our heads, because we can so easily go through life on autopilot, thinking that we are doing things in the way that we've always done them and not really knowing why.

 

Here are the highlights from this episode:

{2:21} Modelling the thinking of successful people

{3:18} Encouraging clients to look at different viewpoints

{6:26} How slowing down our thinking helps us to make better decisions

{8:45} Having the mindset of a scientist who looks to update their hypotheses constantly
