Having The Courage To Invest In Yourself

Having The Courage To Invest In Yourself

Investing in yourself in any way, shape or form can be exciting, yet daunting. Whether it’s signing yourself up to a new gym or buying tickets to that amazing concert, making a commitment to yourself and following through on your desires can be met with some resistance. As a coach, there will be times in your life and business where you will be called to step up and invest more of your time, money and energy into your dreams. The question that tends to worry most people about taking the leap forward is: will this investment be worth it? Perhaps you’re feeling overwhelmed as to what to invest in first with the money that you have? Or maybe you’re wondering whether now is in fact the right time to move out of your comfort zone and say yes to change? Instead of shying away from taking that...

Learning From Your Critical Inner Voice As A Life Coach

Learning From Your Critical Inner Voice As A Life Coach

[break] I'm delighted today to be hosting a guest post from Beautiful You Life Coach Libby Thompson. Libby is not only an incredible life coach, but a psychologist as well and recently she has become interested in the incredible role that self-compassion can play in our lives. She has been learning from the 'Godmother' of self-compassion based work, Kristen Neff, at a retreat, who is the best of the best in this field.  I love Libby's post on how as life coaches we can harness the power of self-compassion in our lives more.  You can connect in with Libby further and her wonderful work at All You Can Be Psychology.  We all have it. (Yes!  Even as a life coach who is trying to ‘help’ people be their best and live an amazing life.) A critical self. That mean voice in your head that tells...

How To Heal Your Money Relationship: Resources for Coaches

How To Heal Your Money Relationship: Resources for Coaches

[break] Let's talk cash! Some may say that it's crass to come right out the gate with such a sentiment, but in truth, I think that's part of the reason why so many of us (as people and as coaches too) have our relationship with money more than a bit topsy turvy. We don't really want to talk about money that much -  but we do want it. We know deep in our heart that what we do as a life coach, health coach, or business coach is truly valuable - but we hesitate to charge what it's truly worth. We would like an efficient, organised and steady stream of income, but often shy away from creating systems that are efficient, organised and steady. We want to live a rich and abundant life but have fears around 'owning' that - being concerned others will see us as greedy or selfish. Did you see...

Are You Playing Small as a Life Coach?

Are You Playing Small as a Life Coach?

[break] One of the things I see life coaches do far too often is play small. Sometimes really small. Despite the fact they may be amazing talented at being a life coach, brilliant at a particular skill, or radiant in certain circumstances, they water that talent down, hide their skill or dull their radiance. Deliberately. Why? Maybe you can tell me in a comment below, but I think it's likely to be a myriad of reasons from things like not wanting to stand out too much, not wanting to draw critique or criticism, fear of getting torn down and yes, fear of getting lifted up too. It's beyond beautifully true what Marianne Williamson said in her incredible book 'A Return to Love.' "Your playing small does not serve the world." There is such truth in that. When you are playing small as a life...
