The Leap To Lead

I’m not sure there is one answer to this question. I think the definition of coaching varies for different people. You only have to think of sporting teams and the role of the coach is unique often to the code of sport, and sometimes within a code it's unique to the team. 

So today I’m answering this from my perspective, both as someone who has received great coaching, but also as someone who has impacted lives of other expat mums with coaching.

Let’s face it, life as an expat mum comes with a uniqueness that many of us take time to understand and adjust to.

Have you tried to change something in your life before, and it hasn’t worked?

Personal change is hard. Frankly, if it was easy then we wouldn’t be talking about it. 

You know how it goes. You start your week feeling highly motivated, this is the week that you will exercise regularly and eat well, no more sugary treats! By Wednesday you’re feeling too tired to work out and you’re sneaking a little piece of chocolate. 

Let’s face it, it’s hard to change our habits. Our mindset and self talk often sabotages our ability to work on our goals. Life gets busy, and personal change feels like it requires energy and headspace that you simply don’t have.

Guess what? There’s still time. It’s not too late and today I’ve got some simple strategies for you.

I so enjoyed this interview with Sarah Brown from Class Beauty where we discuss THE secret every busy mum needs to hear.

We talk about why it's normal to feel lost and alone, and what you can do right now to change this for yourself.

I might get a lot of flack for this but... I truly believe that you can be happy, but still dissatisfied with your life.

As busy mums, we get very reliant on our natural responses. We often don’t even think about what we are doing. Be it packing lunches, vacuuming, putting washing away. It all becomes second nature.

What’s scary is when the same thing happens with our self talk. We very quickly become reliant on our “normal” responses. We stop thinking about what we are saying to ourselves.
