The Coaching Hub Podcast

In this episode we’re talking all about shiny object syndrome (SOS), which is the tendency for someone to chase something new. Be it a new business idea, tool or goal, rather than to stay focused on what they’re doing. It mostly affects entrepreneurs because they tend to be highly motivated people. 

How many times have you bought into something, a course, a program, because you feel that you need it, but then you haven't done it? How many times have you let FOMO really drive you? So shiny object syndrome means that you keep tapping into the next best thing. 

Here are the highlights from today’s episode:

{0:49} The definition of SOS 

{4:01} The importance of having the “basics” in place

{7:28} Questions to ask yourself

{9:22} Find what you are going to invest in next

In this episode we’re talking about intuition or gut feelings.

I have a feeling..., I always knew..., I wish I had listened to my gut..., 

It's something that we hear all the time, isn't it? By tapping into our intuition, we're able to tap in to past behaviours and past patterns. So our intuition isn't anything other worldly. It is really us recognising a pattern from the past. 

Our brains are very, very complex. And to short cut all of the decision making that we have to make, we often rely on our intuition. Our intuition is all about our brain recognising unconsciously, even those tiny details.

Here are the highlights from today’s episode:

{1:15} What is intuition?

{2:35} How our intuition gives us clues

{5:05} The halo effect

{7:51} Building your intuition muscle

Today's episode is a bit different. You're going to hear some snippets of a coaching session that I did with one of my clients, specifically to share with you guys. 

There's a couple of things that you'll notice. 

The first thing is how important it is for you to take some time with your clients to focus in on a really clear goal so you know where they're headed.

Then at the end of the session, check in with your client and make sure that they're committed to take the action that they've said that they want to. 

If you want to get some live coaching with me on my podcast, I would love to have you. Feel free to drop me a message.

Here are the highlights from this episode:

{1:06} Goal setting

{1:46} Assessing level of commitment

{8:32} What has got in the way so far

{15:42} Challenging beliefs

{17:57} Gaining commitment

{20:04} Planning for what could come up to get in the way

In today’s episode we’re talking all about the energy that we bring and others bring to conversations. We all know about Mood Hoovers, people who seem to suck the energy out of a room, and those people that we seem to meet, who give us energy and make us feel good.

If we're honest, we can probably be both at different times depending on the situation, but some people are more likely to be Hoovers, and some people are more likely to be more energy giving.

Here are the highlights from the episode:

{1:47} Coaching and transference

{4:12} How to deal with energy and transference

{7:39} Clearing your energy between clients

{10:28} How to recognise the negative effects

Following on from the last episode, we’re talking about money and those difficult conversations we have to have with others about money. 

We know that money is a big cause of arguments. I always say, "Is it really money or is it people's beliefs around money? Is it people's behaviours about money? Is it what money means to them?" And I think it's really important early on in a relationship to have a very honest conversation and to talk about what money means for you both.

This episode is all about having those difficult conversations with others about money.

Here are the highlights from the episode:

{1:17} How we feel about money influences our behaviour

{2:49} Being honest about past behaviour

{5:24} Having difficult conversations about money with close family and friends

{7:07} Money as independence

{9:30} Owning your relationship with money

{10:57} Conversations that protect you as well as helping you to thrive

How often do you think about money? 

Let's be honest, It's something that most of us have an interesting relationship with. 

In this episode I’m talking about us having honest conversations with ourselves about money, because ultimately however much we dislike or we don't respect money, it is something that is significant in our lives. 

If we're looking at a hierarchy of needs model like Maslow, we know that at that very basic level, we need to have our basic needs met, which includes shelter, food, clothing, warmth and safety. Ultimately, in the modern world, we need to have money to support us so we can meet those needs. If we have anxiety around our ability to meet those needs for ourselves and for others, then that's going to impact every area of our lives.

Talking about this topic can feel difficult because many of us have these deep entrenched feelings, beliefs and stories that we tell ourselves about money.

Here are the highlights from this episode:

{2:35} Our relationship with money is not about money

{3:58} Reflecting on your relationship with money

{5:34} Our unconscious patterns around money

{6:50} Challenging our beliefs and the stories we tell ourselves about money

{8:28} What do you tell yourself about money?

{10:49} Acting in ways consistent with your new beliefs

So how often are you honest with yourself about what you actually want and what you want your life to look like? I see so many people take on goals from other people. They say online "I want to make 10K months. I want to have a six figure business or a seven figure business. I want to weigh nine stone, 10 stone. I want to run a marathon in under three hours." 

We see all of these goals other people are setting and sharing, and we have this 'me too' approach.

Honestly, if we're not connecting with ourselves and what we really want, then the goal setting is merely a vanity project and it's not going to have any meaning. Goals without meaning, money without meaning? There's nothing there.

In this episode I’m talking about working on mastery goals and how you can implement them in your life so you have more of a focus on growing and learning and living within your values.

Here are the highlights from this episode:

{0:43} How often are you honest with yourself?

{2:27} Are your goals really important to you?

{3:01} Simple daily journaling practice

{4:59} Values as the rules for our lives

{6:38} Mastery goals

{10:42} Being focussed on learning

Today, we're talking about conversations with yourself. You may have realised that to have those conversations, to help you thrive they need to start with you. So in this episode we’re talking about leaning into feelings and silence. 

I think it's so important for us to acknowledge that some of the conversations that we have with ourselves are going to be difficult. They're going to be painful. They're going to be emotional and it's completely okay to feel emotions. In fact, if you're not feeling emotions it’s often a sign that something is not right. So let's feel into those feelings. Let's learn to lean into them.

{1:30} Some conversations with ourselves may be difficult

{3:12} How sitting in silence can help

{4:32} How we try to keep ourselves safe

{6:42} Leaning into our emotions

{8:07} Question to ask yourself
