Empowering bravery: 3 Coaching questions for facing new challenges

Bravery isn't reserved for people we think of as heroes, such as those who save lives or climb the highest mountain they can find. It's also needed for everyday life when we stretch ourselves to express the strength and courage we didn't know we had. It's a resource we draw on whenever we stand up to stop an injustice, deal with a crisis or take action to better our lives.

Coaching your way to confidence

The idea of being ‘confident’, is a misleading one. We’ve all been in a room full of people and looked across at someone who is expertly holding everyone’s attention, telling jokes and interesting anecdotes. Often, we will then look at ourselves and think, ‘I wish I was like that,’ or ‘I couldn’t hold the attention of that many people’.  If you've ever been in that room, wishing that you had more confidence, in this week's blog our CEO Bev James shares her top tips for nurturing your confidence.

Unravelling the mystery of how coaching actually works

If you’ve ever found yourself intrigued by how coaching works, then you’re in good company because it’s sparked endless curiosity. It’s also the big question on researcher’s minds in this area too. Which is why we’ve embarked on an extraordinary adventure to uncover the secrets of coaching as a transformational practise and we need your help to find out! For over 20 years, research has shown that coaching has an incredible power to inspire people to develop their self-awareness and achieve their goals. However, the exact mechanics of exactly how coaching works still remains a mystery.

The neuroscience puzzle: How neuroscience and coaching can support each other

Do you need to be a psychologist or neuroscientist to make a good coach? Of course, we know that you don’t!Coaching is its own profession and has a proven track record in improving performance. Back in 2005 when I first began my training with The Coaching Academy, I didn’t know anything about neuroscience and how my brain functioned, and aside from mild curiosity, I don’t think I really cared.

Setting goals: Celebrating small wins in coaching

How often do you celebrate your smaller goals? Or do you go all-in, focusing on the big goal that you’re working towards?  Often when setting goals, it can be easy to get tunnel vision, only focusing on the end goal.  But by intentionally recognising and celebrating the incremental achievements made on the way to bigger goals, as coaches, we can help our clients (or even ourselves!) to build confidence, maintain motivation, and pave the way for long-term success.

The Wheel of Life - Infographic

Goal setting is a core principle that many successful individuals attribute to their achievements. Without a clear vision of what you want to accomplish, it can be challenging to prioritise and stay on track to reach your desired outcome. Fortunately, the Wheel of Life is an effective goal-setting tool that life coaches, and coaches from all niches, can use with their clients that can help build a structured plan to achieve results in the areas of life that matter most.
