EP104: The impact of changing your mindset - Gen's Journey as a coaching client
I am really excited to share this with you Warrior Tribe and hope you find it helpful. My special guest today is Gen who recently completed a 12 week coaching program with me and was happy to share her experience with you all.
We dive into the challenges that Gen had faced which like so many of us involved years of struggling with being overweight and dieting. When Gen and I began speaking her goals were clear however her habits, reliance on motivation and past experience created a difficult environment for the ultimate objective to be reached.
This episode is important for me to share because I feel there are so many people who listen to the show and experience the same struggle as Gen explains, not making any meaningful changes between attempts, hoping for a different outcome and having to manage the feeling of failure when things don't work out. I say that with compassion as someone who spent years going through the same cycle until learning the benefits of focusing on mindset.
Gen shares how coaching has allowed her to approach weight loss from a different angle, focusing on the behaviours and thinking in a different way with regards to being on a diet. We talk about how there is so much emphasis and pressure attached to whether the scale goes up or down, placing our judgement and self worth on this single factor whereas the truth is there is so much more you can measure in order to be successful.
One key difference is that Gen now lives with a level of confidence and self-esteem that has increased dramatically since we began working together. You can hear in her voice that there is no longer the fear to experience social events or dinners out like before, and her excitement for the journey she on can offer encouragement to anyone else wanting the same.
As mentioned on the episode, I am offering a completely free coaching session to all listeners who are curious to find out if having a mentor may will help. I have found this is a great way for you as a potential client to see if this is a good fit for you, as well as the opportunity for me to demonstrate the deep power and impact coaching can have.
