Hello Reader, I wonder if you're feeling as confused as me about our spring weather just now? Last week suncream and we've been promised 4 inches of snow next week! And the cherry blossom is out, even right up here in the hills, and it feels too early, so I'm crossing all my fingers that the wintery weather really has gone until later in the year.

Here's what's in my head this week, as I start to plan out the next few months and shift my energy from building the holiday lodge back into my joyous coaching work...

I got to thinking how unimportant my work really is.

Here's what I do...

• I listen, I reflect and I offer accountability.
• I challenge, I share information and help clients to know they're not the only one who's stuck on a problem.
• Sometimes I offer advice.
• I meet clients where they're at, every single time we meet.
• i assume nothing, I celebrate everything.

And if you're a coach or you've been coached before, you know that this is mostly what coaches do. And it’s incredibly powerful stuff.

So why do I think it’s not important? Because honestly, you’re not interested in what I do.

You’re only interested in what YOU get from spending time with me. Quite rightly too.

So what IS important is… what could YOU do as a result of investing in coaching (aka investing in YOU)?

Well, there’s only you can answer that, and even then, perhaps only as you travel the path, or some weeks later (because coaching have instant impact and / or be a beautiful slow-burn story)

So I thought today it would be useful to share with you just a few of the actions of clients have taken as a result of working with me; some examples of what the kind of thing that becomes possible for you with the right kind of coaching nudges.

• There was the client who rediscovered who she was as a woman. Not who she was as a mum, a wife or a damn hard worker in a brilliant career, but as herself. Once she knew that it became easy to design the next steps to take, realising just how OK it was to do things JUST FOR HER. Things like booking a fabulous solo yoga holiday in Morocco (oh yes!)
• There was client who discovered how to balance her successful career with a new and exciting business of her own, gaining an important promotion and raising her prices in her own business, whilst keeping a beautifully strong life balance.
• There was the client who leaned in to feeling uncomfortable; recognising that the uncomfortableness was simply newness and did not mean she should stop doing what she loves doing; writing books that the world needs to read.
• And client who thought she really should grow her fledgling business... until she allowed herself to acknowledge the ‘shoulds’ in the room, and know that it wasn't right for her after all. She made a bold decision to move into a field she was truly passionate about, retraining and getting a job in that field that lights her up...

I could go on, but you get the idea...

What I really do is offer the time and space for you to discover what is important, to create your own plan for what's next and I help you build the courage to step onto that next part of the path...

And then it's over to you, to take the steps you're ready to take, just like my clients above, to feel more like you, in life and business, than you've ever felt before!

You might wonder then, why doesn't everyone do it, just get a coach, figure things out and take those steps? Honestly, because it's hard, it can take energy and determination, there are scary bits and real dig-deep bits... of course, there are stunningly easy and effortless bits too, and oh-why-didn't-I-do-this-before moments too. It's not for everyone.

But you're here reading this, so I think you already believe in coaching...

So let me ask, what do you think, is it what I do that's important or is it what you do?

And because I know that it can be a big decision to jump into a new coaching contract for three or even six months, you can book an Explore Hour (£150) with me in April or May. This is for anyone who is ready to explore or plan something right now, or anyone who would like to feel what it's like to work with me.

Please do reply with any thoughts or questions, I love to read your emails.

Thank you for allowing me into your inbox, I'll be back soon!

With love

Sarah xx
