The biggest threat to your bottom line isn’t the market or your strategy - it’s your relationships.
Fun fact:
In addition to my private client work with individuals on their romantic and relational challenges…
I also support leadership teams inside high-growth, fast-paced companies - especially the ones who look strong on paper, but are running on fumes and unraveling under extreme pressure as they scale.
Because, surprise surprise, relational science shows that your personal wiring around relationships and attachment is so much more than just how you are in your private life.
It 100% shows up in how you are with your executive team.
It 100% shows up in how you are with your leadership.
It 100% shows up in how you are with your business.
And if that wiring is insecure, reactive, or overloaded…
It will 100% wreck your ability to scale and succeed long term - sustainably, effectively, and efficiently.
It 100% affects your company’s bottom line.
Why is self-connection important? Part 2
Without a deep, authentic, whole-hearted connection to yourself, you cannot know yourself fully. When you do not know yourself fully, all of the decisions you make, relationships you build, work you pursue, and life you create is coming from a disconnected place. They are not in full integrity with who you are at your core. Coming from this space, they are likely to be superficial solutions to what you think you want, need, and believe…
Why is self-connection important? Part 1
Almost every founder, leader, and professional I worked with wanted to improve their sense of balance, clarity, and direction in life. To get really clear on where they’re going next, whether they’re the right person to take on a certain task or mission, and make better decisions. De-risking the process was always important, and taking manageable micro-steps forward to begin moving the needle on the changes they wanted to see, was also key.
“Is this it?” Why it’s important to act & we have less time than we think
Ostensibly, I had it all. The apartment, the beautiful city to live in, the well-paid job that I loved, the instagram-perfect relationship, the big overseas wedding planned. But with the silence that came with the solitude of the pandemic, the inner voice inside grew louder. And so my Covid experience, whilst incredibly isolating, was a period of intense self-connection.
What do I do next in my career? How to figure it out
Often the totally rational decisions we make are so logical and calculated that they are removed from who we truly are. They make us out like chess pieces, bizarre little pawns in the world of corporate, making moves that will win us points and get us up the ladder...they miss the other parts of us that are equally important: our hearts, our desires, and our very real physical needs.
What has connection got to do with sales?
Strengthening sales folk to become go-getters, sales champions, and challengers necessitates teaching effective communication, active listening, building rapport, and networking. This has historically been helpful in terms of arming your sales teams with the necessary relationship building skills to go and close those deals, but it’s typically fallen short…
Where does the body, embodied cognition, embodiment, and gut instinct come in?
Since the body perceives, takes in and processes everything around us, the body can therefore be seen as the best source of self-information for each individual. Our minds filter information based on our mental map, but the body, fueled by our subconscious, is constantly taking it all in. It is also connected to our deepest sense of self, to our deepest fears, truths and desires.
What is Transformative Coaching? And solutions-focused coaching? What about other forms of coaching?
Rooted in modern humanistic coaching, it believes your paradigm, inner world of beliefs, assumptions, values, and expectations, hold the key to unlocking greater possibilities for ways of being in life….using your own inner potential, help you source new solutions. In other words, transformative coaching helps fish see the water that they don’t know they are swimming in.
“Meditate, and just let go” Why does meditating and just ‘letting go’ not seem to stop my anxiety or make it fully go away?
If clients tell me that they are anxious, or have fears, imposter syndrome, a niggling sense that something is off, I don’t tell them to just meditate or breathe through it. I have tried to meditate and breathe my way through an unhappy relationship and I can tell you, it doesn’t work ;)
Why coaching? What is it?
Simply put, coaching can help you achieve specific goals or outcomes, personal and professional, through a dialogic process of questioning, reflecting, clarifying, challenging, and decision-making about what you can do.
