How Natalie went from lacking clarity and second-guessing herself to the confidence to make a make a big career move.
Why did Natalie decide to coach with Alex?
As well as Alex’s nurturing, yet direct coaching style, Natalie chose to coach with Alex because she needed guidance and a sense check that she was on the right track.
Natalie often found herself second-guessing her decisions and lacking the confidence to trust her instincts. By having guided conversations with a coach, she hoped to better centre herself and navigate her thought processes to make positive choices.
Alex’s coaching involved looking at what else is happening in Natalie’s life. What were the other pressure points? What else might influence behaviours and mindset? In addressing these too, Natalit found bigger transformations could take place.
“I'm an intuitive person and I do tend to go with my gut, so it was a gut decision to coach with Alex. I needed a holistic view of my work and home life, and I felt like Alex brought that to the table.”
What did Natalie take away?
A newfound ability to challenge her assumptions and thought patterns. As well as learning practical tips for establishing a good routine, which was crucial for her to thrive at home and work.
The coaching experience helped Natalie reframe her thinking about time management and embrace the positive aspects of spontaneous moments that can happen in family life.
“I think probably one of the biggest things that is still having an impact on me is challenging some of my assumptions and some of my thought patterns.”
“One of the other things that Alex challenged me on is taking stuff personally. So, that's something that I have spent time thinking about and unpacking.”
What does life look like now?
Natalie has become more mindful of not taking things personally and addressing the long-standing issues that previously held her back.
Natalie takes the time to ask herself questions and consider the best path forward mindfully.
