Got questions like these? We'll help you find the answers.
Do you ever catch yourself reaching for your personal emails or social media feed while working on a tricky task? It’s ok, we’ve all been there. Mindfulness can help you develop greater control of your attention, so that you can focus on what’s important. Right now, just try and focus on your breath, and notice how often distracting thoughts enter your mind. With practice, we learn how to more effectively deal with those distractions.
By understanding yourself better, you can implement the right task management processes for your brain. This could involve working mindfully with your calendar, having reminders on your phone, or even sticking post-its all over the room. The point is, it’s what makes things easier for your unique brain. And those answers can only be found within you.
We give you the tools to notice your stress response earlier, so that you can work with it more skilfully. When you’re triggered, your primitive brain wants to snap back and defend your territory. But you can learn how to create a gap so that you can access your higher brain function and respond in a calmer, more mindful way.
The usual advice involves setting clearer boundaries, prioritising like a champ and pencilling in ‘me time’ with loved ones. But the secret sauce is understanding what your real motivations are, and where you’re trying to get to. We can then help you to find your sweet spot. A place where you have the balance of a tightrope walker gracefully navigating the thin line between work and play.
We can’t guarantee that step up, but with our coaching services we can help to get you in the best possible position. You know your role, company and industy far better than us. So the coaching support we provide will help you to develop your strategic approach, and then go and grab that opportunity with both hands. And if it doesn’t work out, we’ll get you back on the horse and ready to go again. Like Rocky said – “It ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward”.
Public speaking is sometimes like riding a bicycle, except the bicycle is on fire, you’re on fire, and everything around you is also on fire! Okay, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but it can certainly feel that way when you’re up on that stage. Whatever your challenge may be, we can help you to get in the right frame of mind, with the confidence and energy to go and smash that presentation.
Have you ever thought about what you’d like future you to be doing? Just take a moment right now to think about it. The thing is, if you don’t start making steps in that direction, you’ll never end up doing it. Our coaches will help you to generate the ideas and insights to kick-start your journey towards future you.
