When we coach clients we work with them to access perspectives that feel empowering and useful. For example, a client may be having struggles with a particular relationship with a colleague at work. We’d invite the client to share what’s currently coming up for them in that dynamic, what emotions and thoughts …
I have just returned from a five week break. I went to Nepal with my partner, and it was a very interesting, enjoyable and challenging-in-parts experience. We did a 10 day silent meditation retreat which I am sure I will share learnings from as time goes on (it was possibly the hardest …
I hope the sun is shining for you today. I can feel it warming my legs as I write. When we coach clients we will sometimes invite them to recall a time in their life when they felt a certain way. We encourage them to summon up the image of that time …
