 Marie became my executive coach during a period of uncertainty at work when we were going through a tough corporate restructuring. The word of the year was ‘resilient’ and whilst I knew what it meant and felt like, I was somehow unable to be vocal about what I wanted. I was struggling to make myself heard. Every time I was asked to ‘be resilient’ I found myself becoming increasingly annoyed. Have you ever met a woman who isn’t resilient? I had just had twin girls, I was already back at work ful...

Do you find yourself blaming others for what has happened?

Do you feel resentful, angry, frustrated or alone in your challenge?

As you step into and walk through the difficult times in your life, it may require you to open yourself up to both your vulnerability and courage, and importantly, accept what is going on in your life. Accepting what is does not mean you won’t at times feel sad, frust...

Setting goals at the end of a coaching session is a key component of the coaching conversation to support clients to make the transformational changes they desire.

We say at Empower World, it is one thing to be more aware and know information (creating conscious awareness is 95% of the journey of change according to the experts), but it is another thing to actually take action as a result of new awareness to create desired change.
