What if you don't need more thinking, but a different way of thinking? In this piece I explore why career change is rarely just about finding a different job. I consider how coaching can help us question the assumptions keeping us stuck, create clarity from mental clutter, and turn intentions into meaningful action.
What does confidence really mean? In this piece I explore the relationship between confidence, uncertainty and action through the prism of my experiences in the mountains. The decisions we make in everyday life rarely carry the same risks as those we may face in the mountains, yet we often demand far greater certainty before we act. I consider the role coaching can play in helping us understand what is holding us back, reconnect with our own capabilities and break down the steps needed move forward with clarity and confidence.
What if fear isn’t something we need to overcome, but something we can learn to work alongside? In this piece I explore our relationship with fear through the lens of rock climbing, considering how fear can provide important information while also influencing the choices we make. By noticing what fear is telling us, rather than allowing it to take over, we can begin to respond with greater calm, intention and self-awareness. I consider how coaching can help us understand our fears, challenge the assumptions behind them and take meaningful steps forward.
