Motivate Coaching

It sounds like on oxymoron doesn't it. Like it makes no sense. However, it does.  In business slowing down to speed up is a strategic approach to decision making, so why not apply the same theory to ourselves?! After all, the common thread between strategic business decisions and you personal development, is in fact, us - or in this case - you! I found a way to slow down that has allowed me to speed up more than ever, clearer,...

You know those things you want to achieve in so many areas of your life. It can be overwhelming can't it? In fact so much so that we don't get around to doing any of it and get frustrated at yourself for not moving forwards. It starts with breaking down the priorities in your life for NOW. If you try to make everything you want happen in one go this is when you go in circles. Choose one area of your life to improve and ge...

'P' stands for production. in the above example, 'P' is represented by successfully arriving at the destination, it is the goal. 'PC' stands for production capability, represented by the car itself. The required element to help you get to achi...

We all get fearful from time to time. Oftentimes we wish we wouldn't, other times we are glad we did. Your fear is a preservation and self-defense mechanism that is designed to keep you safe. It is on your team believe it or not. Fears primary concern is to keep you safe, now, in the moment with whatever is going on. It also attaches itself to your experiences, the ones that made you fearful. This means that whenever that scen...

We all find ourselves limited from time to time. A feeling of being restricted, constrained even. All the while we feel that tug, a wee voice that says to us, you could do this in another way and it might just work. But, you don't because it is not what you have been taught, shown or told is the right way. The way all great things have been brought to life and achieved is by doing something differently. Who knows, you may hold...

What do you notice, what do you notice about what you notice? When you notice what do you do with what you have noticed?

Understanding ourselves can be a challenge, to truly know oneself takes paying attention and noticing behaviors, thoughts and feelings. Do you have any area of your life, a scenario or situation that just irritates you, or gives you great amounts of joy, or you feel very little at all? Perhaps times whe...

We all have things happening to us and around us all the time. Some are within are in our control, many are not. Whichever way our experiences come about, how we react is within our control. it is our choice. How we feel about it, the actions we take. Discovering how to reflect and chose your reactions can be the very thing that sets you free. Helping you get closer to the places you want to go, to the things you want to achieve an...

This episode explores how we can have a look at how we are showing up and where we would like to chose to show up with mire integrity by being a little more honest with ourselves. It need not be scary, it may take a wee bit of courage however like all other episodes in this series it is about making the positive changes that last a life...

How well do you know yourself, what you want out of life? What you really want. We often live from our minds, we focus on the perceived requirements, the pressure of earning money, using our (lack of) time effectively. We construct structures that we live in that frequently were established over many years and may not be relevant any more. To make a change in our lives feels scary, it means moving to something else, perhaps somethi...

We all do it, slip into self-judgement. It is a natural and normal state.

Setting out on a personal development journey can be daunting, especially if you have tried before and did not get the results you wanted. Well, it does take persistence. Consistency is what makes any personal development work stick. The really exciting news is the whilst the ratio is equal when you first set out, i.e. you get out what you put in, as you practice more you start to get out more than you put in. Also, it becomes easy...

We all know feelings of frustration, irritation or upset. For some it is the family get-together wanting to climb the walls or leave at high speed. Perhaps you are in a client pitch and feelings are brought forth by something done or said by a colleague or perhaps even the client. For some its the monthly board meeting where you  feel ignored and marginalised. It's frustrating right? This episode is all about learning how to t...
