Coaching Question of the Week: At times, we might discover ourselves making choices or seizing opportunities that aren't truly aligned with our goals. When you are feeling stuck in a pattern that isn't working for you, you need to ask yourself: Are you living on purpose or by accident? The Coaching and Positive Psychology (CaPP) Institute #CoachingQuestionoftheWeek #PositivePsychologyCoaching #PositivePsychology

Great points to be mindful of... Are you living on autopilot or living with intention. Or, as Valorie puts it, are you living "on purpose" or living "by accident." Valorie also has some great coaching on establishing a clear vision for the kind of person you want to become. Every day we can look at our vision and determine whether our daily activities are moving us closer to our vision, or not.

Why is attachment awareness a MUST as a coach, counselor, or psychotherapist? When your client reports returning issues, such as - experiencing their boundaries being overstepped, or - discontentment in their work or personal relationships, you will move your focus from their presenting issue to the pattern. You will curiously explore what might be even worse for the client than keeping their boundaries or expressing requests that would meet their needs. You will notice if they distract themselves with stories, and gently return to their untended fear, often about losing connection, being dismissed, or invaded. These patterns are old, and through the light of awareness lit by the coach's questions, the client can disentangle their past from their present and step into choice. It takes a strong literacy in emotions, as YOUR window of welcome for emotions defines the work that can happen. At Untying the Knots, offered by The Needs-Based Coaching Institute from the 23rd to the 25th of October, participants will learn the theory and practice of Attachment Aware Coaching and learn a three-dimensional map of emotions, based on the works of Jaak Panksepp and Sarah Peyton.

How much do you think your emotions run the show? More than we think according to the new book I'm reading from Dr. Aprilia (April) West PsyD, PCC, MT ! I've been keen to delve into the world of emotions to support my coachees for a while now. Although it's been a personal journey of mine for some time to develop a deeper understanding and connection with my emotions, I've been looking for the right kind of emotions practitioner work that I connected with to enhance my professional practice. After listening to Aprilia's talk at the In Good Company emotions coaching summit the other week I felt a resonance with her work on Emotional Efficacy training, particularly the idea about taking a values-based approach to making choices in our life, instead of being driven by how our emotions tell us to act. I'd recommend a listen: https://lnkd.in/gyh8EYvn And her book: 'What you feel is not all there is' I'm excited to learn more! Have you stopped to reflect on your emotions recently and how much of an impact they have on how you live your life? Reflection point: How much of the time are you acting on free choice vs how much of the time are your emotions driving your actions?

Incorporating a culturally sensitive, socially open approach to coaching helps establish psychological safety, build rapport, and garner trust with your coachee. There are different techniques and methods that you can use so that your niche audience resonates with your brand while feeling that they will receive empathy, understanding, and openness when they partner with you in a coaching relationship. Here are three key strategies to enhance your practice: 🟣Include your commitment to DEIB: Clearly state your dedication to diversity, equity, inclusion, and whole-person well-being on your website and social media. 🟣Ask for Preferences: In the first session, inquire how they want you to honor their culture and values, such as their pronouns. This builds rapport and motivation. 🟣Adopt a Trauma-Informed Approach: Be mindful that many have experienced trauma. Use sensitive language when discussing personal experiences to foster a supportive environment. #InclusiveLeadership #CoachingStrategies #EmpowerYourCoaching #ReidReady
