To be a great coach, and get the best results, you need to be confident, focused and present for your clients and mindfulness can be a powerful tool in helping you achieve this.  But, of all the meditations out there, which ones should you choose?  In this post, I will give you six powerful meditations you can try and I’ll explain how and when to use them to let go of mind chatter, gain clarity and give you confidence and impact in your coaching.

Coaches love to set goals and make plans. They tend to be doers! This can be great because you get stuff done. However, it can also cause you to overthink..a lot! It’s easy to get caught up in the same patterns of thinking, and planning for coaching or sales call, dreaming of that next client or churning over an endless to-do list. It can suck so much time yet not get you anywhere further.  In this post, I’ll be explaining why our minds like to go down these annoying rabbit holes and how to let go of overthinking using mindfulness skills.

Do you ever wonder why your mindfulness practice isn’t ‘working’?  You’re still stressing over your audience growth. You still feel icky when you send out your sales post or still overthinking your coaching offer.

We’ve all had those coaching sessions when the client reels off a barrage of information, key points, ideas, examples etc., and you desperately want to capture it all.

As a result, your client can end up going down the wrong path, not forming the most appropriate goals, and you can end up thinking your coaching is not working.

In this post, I will talk about what mindful listening is, and why it’s important and share five tips for training your mind to do so that you can develop it and use it in your coaching calls so that you don’t lose focus and you get great results for your clients. 

Mindfulness can be an incredibly powerful tool for any coach.  Not only will it help you stay fully confident, present and centred when you’re on your client calls, but it can also help you let go of the unhelpful thinking before and after the calls that can get in the way of you running your business with confidence and ease.

In this blog, I’m going to share why mindfulness can work for you as a coach and break down the key steps so that you can create your own plan so that you can build a regular and consistent mindfulness habit that works for you and your business..

Have you ever finished a coaching session and found yourself over-analysing the one thing you could have done better rather than reflecting on all the things that went well?

In a world where being active and pushing yourself to breaking point is seen as the norm - even as a badge of honour - taking a break and resting can feel like a failure. However, rest is a hugely important part of health and is certainly part of the solution for chronic illness.
