A coaching mindset is a distinct ICF competency - but what does it actually mean? As coaches we have a responsibility to keep our mindset sharp for our clients. Afterall, as our clients are growing, we too must grow alongside them! The capabilities of our minds are far beyond our current comprehension. There’s always so much to learn and expand on - which is extremely exciting. As coaches it’s imperative that we continually strive to improve our skills, expand our knowledge and experience through trainings, reading and coaching practice. It’s important to have a safe space to talk about coaching too (for example in my Coaching Hub membership). However, there’s another layer to this mindset stuff and that’s the side that focuses on your own personal growth. Some of my top hacks for working on your self development are journaling, exercising, reading, silence, diet and sleep - along with my weekly social media DETOX! That’s right, each week it’s essential that we take some time away from our digital devices, step away from work to be present and stimulate our minds in new ways. When our work/self balance is aligned we’re then able to perform cognitively at our best. The proof of that will be in the results we see! If you’d like to hear more about how to get in the right mindset to coach then head over to my website - link in bio - to check out my podcast episode on the topic, where I dive into each of these practices in a little more depth!

🧐 What do people say about my coach training?
Meet Rebecca Daniel who is on my current coach training What made you sign up to the professional coach diploma? My background in education, and I still am very much involved in that sector and it's a professional industry. And they want professional qualifications and professional experience and I think credibility is really really important. 👉🏻 I wholeheartedly trust everything that you could use and provide I think first and foremost you were the person who encouraged me to sign up and not because you knew that and because you told me to sign up just because I know how awesome you are and I know how serious you take coaching. 👉🏻 The second reason why was because of the professional nature of it. I wanted to go into corporate. I wanted to go into schools and for them to know that I'd taken my learning and my profession seriously and I wanted that to kind of be behind me as well. ⭐️ It's everything that I thought it would be actually but probably, even more, I love the flexibility around it. I also would say that I've met some amazing people. 💪 I love a bit of feedback and I think that's so important because when you do qualify you could tend to be just alone and you don't have to be alone, but you can tend to be alone and it's nice to have someone to listen to you and give you you know, little bits of advice and also motivate and boost you to say, you know, you're doing a good job. What would you say to somebody thinking about joining in February? 📞 I would say if you're considering coaching. I would definitely book a call and I would also say that if you're considering it to speak to either someone like me or you know, all the other wonderful people that have part of the program.
I love it. I love the fact that I can go into Kajabi and I can access the resources and they're all nicely filed there just for me and also the community. ---- 🔥 Fancy finding out more click the link in Bio to sign up to our Info Session 🔥 #coachtraining #coachprogram #coachcertification #kudzicoachacademy #coaches #coachlife #businesscoach #mindsetcoach #successfullclients #coachcommunity #coachsupport

Have you evaluated what matters to you? We can go through life with our subconscious making decisions that aren’t aligned with what we truly want. Often our decisions are based upon what we think we ‘should’ want. Or even what we assume we want - but haven’t truly probed!! With all of the external noise being fed to us constantly through our phones it’s easy to see other people achieving and think ‘oh yes, I want to do that too’… But is that what you really want? So many of us have spent so long unconsciously tuning into the success of others that we can lose track of why we started all of this and what our own goals and visions are. It’s so easy to get bogged down with performance goals and comparing yourself to others but you stand to gain nothing by taking this approach. Let’s scale it back and get back to your ‘why’. Set aside time tonight, at the weekend, or whenever you’re free, and write down what you care about most. Don’t overthink it, just write down whatever comes up first for you. Once you have an idea of your values you can then redefine your mission, which will allow you to regain clarity on what you want from your business. What matters to you? Is your business currently operating around your core values or have you lost sight of those somewhere along the way? Let me know in the comments!

Reprogramming your brain - how does it really work? When I talk about the power of coaching I love to get into the science: if we are wanting to create a longer-term behavioural change it happens in the brain. We see reprogramming your brain all the time: for me, it gives me visions of someone going in there and having a fish around! 🧠 What we really mean is creating new neural pathways and new connections which enable us to think, feel, be and act differently. Behavioural neuroscience suggests we make long-lasting change through the following process:
➡️ Tap into a strong positive emotion in order to set your intention, this may be by accessing gratitude or a positive memory. By tapping into positive emotion we are able to engage more of our brains
➡️ Focus on what you want to change, take time to visualise and imagine that you have been successful and tap into how you think, feel and act
➡️ Commit to daily visualisation, thoughts and action which will help to strengthen your new neural pathway
➡️ Practice and celebrate your progress 🔥 When you are creating a new neural pathway your brain will want to go back to the old ways of being especially under stress: you can combine this work with uncovering and dismantling limiting beliefs and starting to pay attention to your thinking so you are aware of when your triggers are which can mean you go back into your old patterns and ways of being.

We all need a bit of superhero and escapism right now. Today I ran a day all about personality and disc preferences (from William Marsden who also invented Wonder Woman 👩) I also celebrated more people signing up for the Professional Coach Diploma with Kudzi Coach Academy.. And I got paperwork from the association of coaching saying we are accredited with them as well as the international coaching federation. Celebrated with champagne 🥂 chocolate and a movie we have watched before which no one else remembered! Things I have learned this week
* stick to your guns 💪
* be clear on what you do
* chocolate helps right now
* 5am wake ups are not for me
* chatting to friends on the phone can make it feel like they are in the room with you

It’s time to stop waiting for Monday! Often we find ourselves thinking I’ll do a, b and c when x, y, and z happens…. But when you’re creating endless excuses to put off moving forward, you’ll quickly find that you run out of alphabet letters... Eventually you’re left staring in the mirror wondering where the time’s gone! Putting a date on when you’ll take action might SEEM like a good approach. But we all know that things rarely go to plan in life and by Monday morning plans will have changed and your to-do list will be the length of your arm, meaning once again you find yourself postponing the action that will move your business forward. And 9 times out of 10 when we put things off until a later date we’re doing so out of fear. When you find yourself putting things off ask yourself - what’s making me pause? Start to question your thoughts and decisions around projects you’re delaying and ask yourself if they’re really a priority to you. Monday - or any future date - is your comfort zone. If you’re waiting until Monday there’s a high chance you’ll be waiting a while. Don’t let another Monday roll around and take action NOW! What are you waiting for?

I want to let you in on a little secret… There’s a formula to success! 👉SUCCESS = Business strategy + Mindset + Aligned energetic action 👈 The balance of these three key aspects allows your business the breathing space to grow in line with your vision. Let’s break it down… Business Strategy: Your business strategy is your blueprint and without laying the proper foundations you have nothing to build upon. Your strategy takes your vision and creates a framework. You can then use the framework to put the appropriate tools and systems in place to take your business in the right direction. Mindset: Any successful entrepreneur will tell you the importance of your mindset when it comes to succeeding in business. Mindset affects our daily behaviours and interactions within our business, as well as our ability to overcome challenges. A developed mindset allows us to stay open to new opportunities and use difficult situations as an opportunity to grow. Aligned Energetic Action: The power of taking aligned energetic action is tremendous. When we take action that is aligned with our goals and values, things begin to flow for us. It becomes easier for us to take the actions necessary to reach our goals. Remember: what we give out, we get back. When you’re able to cohesively merge these three elements together your results - not only within your business but also within your life - will begin to skyrocket! Which part of the equation do you feel you may be overlooking, and why may that be? If you’re looking to finally see the success you’ve been craving then I’d love to invite you to join my Coach Training program. It’s a 6-7 month program that equips you with the tools to take your coaching business to the next level. If you’re interested in becoming an accredited coach then check out the link in my bio!

Is it really life changing ?? We see this all the time.., it changed my life (and I hear it time and time again about the professional coach diploma) Let's dig deeper: Personally
- it has changed how people think and feel about themselves so they are more confident, more resilient and happier - it has changed how people act so they are more visible and take bold action - it has made people more self aware so their relationships with themselves and others have improved Professionally
- it has given people a professional qualification and the ability to be directly accredited with the biggest and most recognised body in the coaching world - it has given people a wide range of tools and approaches from positive psychology to neuroscience to transactional analysis to personality - it has helped people integrate coaching into what they already do We had 9 people on the first coach training cohort: all of them talk about the experience and how it helped them grow personally and professionally one retiring from her former 25+ career to focus on being a coach Are you ready to change your life and change the life of others? Our next cohorts start w/c 1st February Check out the link in bio or DM me to chat

In life and in business it’s only natural to want to shy away and run from the difficult conversations. But these conversations are actually critical to our growth and our overall happiness - especially when it comes to conversations with ourselves. By exploring the conversations we’re hesitating getting into we open up space for us to learn and to upgrade our skills and mindset. It’s like anything - the longer you leave it the more difficult it becomes. Building a business isn’t all sunshine and roses and you won’t always be comfortable. So having a process in place to navigate your way through the difficult stuff unlocks a door to potentially greater relationships, increased productivity and better use of your time. How do you deal with difficult conversations… Do you jump in head first or do you shy away? And how is this impacting your business? Let me know in the comments and let’s start a conversation!

Are you confused of Coaching program accreditation and what to look for? 1) Let's start with the ICF as they are the biggest and arguably the most reputable coaching accreditation body So fab the course is ICF accredited but
all qualifications with them are not the same ! If you want a direct route to accredited status only having to pay ICF fees that's the ACTP diploma which includes mentor coaching If you have an ACTSCH diploma you have to pay for 10 hours mentor coaching and submit 2 recordings to an ACC standard to get accredited as well as the ICF fee. 10 hours of mentoring coaching cost be £2500 more normally it's £1500.. this is an additional cost on top of the £3, 4K, 5K diploma. And depending on the number of hours you may need to top up the diploma with additional training especially at a PCC level (professional coach) which costs more £ and time If you have ACC or PCC status you have the credibility to charge more so it makes sense you choose a qualification to get you there The other thing I am seeing is CCEs which are continuing coach education courses designed to supplement ACTP or ACSTCH courses You need to have an ACTP or ACSTCH course combined with a CCE to apply for accreditation so if you do sign up for these courses realise they may be certified but you need to pay and do more training to get accredited Confusing ? Yes which is why so many people become disillusioned: it's not a simple system or process which makes it easier for potential clients to get confused My advice if you want to be a coach get the full diploma (ACTP) like we offer as there are no hidden costs so even though it may be more expensive upfront longer term it's cheaper (and it's quicker) 2) Other bodies Of course we have other reputable bodies The ILM, AC and EMCC are three Then there are "regulators" who take money from program providers and don't do any due diligence and their stamp means nothing.. I see people every day who have done certifications and they are meaningless plus they don't give the depth and quality of training so you don't have the tools to help your clients make lasting powerful changes.

Flashback to 7 years ago off to my good friends hen do! At the time I was already coaching and had done ✔️ some training. I knew I wanted to coach and didn't really know how to make it work (I was a senior leader in a secondary school with a sales background) I knew I needed professional training if I was going to leave a well paid career. 2 years later after hours of pro Bono leadership coaching, some pro Bono small business coaching and lots more study I had decided to set up my business. I got my first client in April 2016. As my business grew I continued to invest in my own coaching and development and am highly qualified (I am a MCC master coach) And I am so glad I went down this route: I now train coaches as well as continuing to have a thriving coaching business. Because professional coach training is important for you and your clients. I see horror stories of coaches all the time and honestly when I dig deep 9 times out of 10 they aren't coaches they are mentors and many lack the expertise or skill set to mentor.

Collectively cortisol levels are at an all time high. And with cortisol often judgment comes. How many times have you judged someone (including yourself) this week? It's easy to get caught up in the "it's okay for them" victim mentality and lash out in our thoughts or as a keyboard warrior. When really we know we don't know much about anyone on the internet - we are using comparison to make us feel small and as fuel to feel angry 😡. I get it - having a 4 & 6 year old at home and running two businesses didn't feature in my dream week I had planned. It's easy to transfer and project our energy and fear onto others: it's okay for them due to x y z. Recognise what you are doing: take a step back and allow yourself to feel the emotions. This isn't about anyone else - this is your reality. As a coach I do this before every session : as a person I remind myself of this multiple times a day. We are all in this and are all having a unique experience : and let's do what we can to process our stuff and reduce our collective cortisol (Photo not taken in 2021)

What does a coach do? We see so many coaches online and in an unregulated industry, they can do a whole plethora of things. If you are looking for a pure coaching experience a coach: ⚡️Holds space for you to explore how you think and feel and helps you change
⚡️Allows you to explore what is holding you back and to change how you think, feel and be so you change how you act
⚡️Believes you have the resources inside of you and is non-judgemental
⚡️Asks you insightful questions based on deep listening of what you say and don’t say
⚡️Holds you to account on your goals and what you want to achieve
⚡️Challenges and supports you to help you do the work and come out with outcomes which move you forward
⚡️Helps you to make better decisions and tap into your intuition It isn’t an easy chat and depending on your coach and your preferred style it can be very exposing and can also get you exceptional results. Coaching is the most powerful intervention I have ever experienced which is one of the reasons I love training coaches as well as coaching myself. 🎙 Click the link in BIO and listen to my latest podcast episode. #coachingcommunity #podcast #podcasting #coachespodcast #kudzicoachacademy #thecoachinghub #thecoachinghubpodcast #coaching

I find a calmness in nature - maybe it's because I spent the first 18 years of my life living in a tiny village. Being around trees 🌳 and water energises me. Right now I feel my body craves long walks (I am about to go on one) It's becoming more and more about how I process and integrate what I have been doing. Anyone else feeling a deeper connection to nature ?

Re reading this book tonight whilst the kids watch a movie 🎥 I love it 🥰 anything around Psychology, Neuroscience and Behaviour is always fascinating to me. Currently considering the role of dopamine in building neural pathways and how repetition and focus make a difference. Slightly ironic as have wolfed a load of kettle chips and Prosecco !
