If you are fed up with being told what to do, this blog is for you.
There are times when being told what to do is necessary, for example the rules we are required to follow with respect to COVID-19. Another example would be to stay within the law. Another to meet the operational needs of a business such as health and safety. In leadership terms this would be the autocratic approach.
Other times, such as being given well meant advice by friends and family, being told what to do can confuse us.
We know that when we are advised the brain actually pushes back and this can be experienced as anything from slight irritation to not listening at all.
Sitting with a professional coach and counsellor you can work on the relationship that you have with yourself, what you are drawn to, what gives you satisfaction, how you are feeling in situations. Reflecting in this way will help you to find solutions for yourself and be more authentic.
Your coach will provide a non-judgmental space without interjecting, rather listening, completely present, holding the space whilst you reflect on your highs and lows. They will also encourage you and help you to see that setbacks are normal, supporting you through your 3 steps forward and a step back, or two!
My favourite is deep work where we get to equip you with the beliefs and values that will support you to move towards and achieve the outcomes that you want.
If you want to get to know yourself better with the freedom to be yourself, invite yourself to grow and develop by working with me, please get in touch via pam@westofenglandcoachingandcounselling.co.uk and start by telling me a bit about you.
