What does it mean to be a clImate conscious coach? Join Julia and Zoe for an open discussion.
Really good to speak with my dear friend and colleague, Clotilde Blanchet, about overcoming the fear of travel. Clotilde adores travel and there are not too many situations where she experiences fear.
When we consider travel abroad by ourselves, or with our families, we tend to focus on the positives: adventure, new experiences and building connections. As a coach, I am rather fond of concentrating on the positives yet I also love it when people remain financially robust throughout their travel adventure.
You’ve packed up and moved countries and now you can’t leave your house because of a pandemic! Does it feel pointless to devote a pandemic restricted January lockdown to goal setting?
I work with many people who are navigating life in a brand new city. Moving to a new country is always tricky. Finding a new job, home, career and set of friends is a challenge enough but experiencing lockdown in pandemic is a whole other story.
This month I had the joy of working in Athens on behalf of ICA ( International Coach Academy) where I attended Coathathon - an event organised by the regional ICF Chapter. I also worked alongside ICA’s wonderful coach trainer, Katerina Kanelidou, to deliver ICA’s FlipIt workshop.
Pleased to attend ICF’s Converge Conference - a global event designed to strengthen connections within the coaching community and share research. Lovely to meet with students, graduates and colleagues from ICA and catch up with the latest thinking.
The Paris meet up with ICA and another opportunity to connect with colleagues, graduates and students from all over the world.
Venice, Italy and a happy opportunity to meet with ICA colleagues, graduates and students from across Europe. A valuable weekend sharing with coaches from all sorts from professional backgrounds. Fascinating to hear how they are using coaching skills in a number of professional settings spanning the corporate, education and health or wellness sectors.
Working in Malta this week - fascinating island with a very strong connection to my own homeland, Australia. It has one of the highest expat populations in the EU!
A fascinating film about making a decision. A great watch for any interested in human behaviour and decision making! Do you relate to any of these people?
From a coaching point of view, it poses some wonderful questions:
What motivates a person to dive?
What thought processes drive the decision?
What does it give them to meet the challenge?
For those who dive, what is the experience immediately following the jump?
What are the range of thoughts in those people who chose not to jump?
Joyfully, coaching gives you the space to make a decisions that is right for you. It places you in the role of learner by giving you space to observe your thoughts and behaviours.
