Self Coaching for Success Melissa Etzler

This episode dives into the importance of emotional intelligence (EQ) for coaches. Host Melissa Etzler explains why EQ is a crucial skill to develop and offers practical tips on how to build it.
Key Points:
EQ is essential for creating a safe space for clients and guiding them effectively. Emotions are what drive us. By understanding emotions (both yours and your clients'), you can better connect and support them. Building EQ involves acknowledging and feeling your emotions, not just thinking about them. The episode offers a Tapping exercise to help process emotions.

This episode explores why positive affirmations alone might not be enough to change your beliefs. Melissa discusses memory reconsolidation, a neurological process that allows you to update old memories and their emotional impact.
As a coach yourself, it's important to understand the underlying process that is innate to everyone's brain when change takes place. This way you can effectively work with your clients ensuring you're making progress towards their results.
Here's what you'll learn:
Why positive affirmations can struggle to compete with established negative beliefs. What memory reconsolidation is and how it can help you change your emotional response to past experiences. How techniques like EFT tapping can be used to facilitate memory reconsolidation. Tips for overcoming doubt and effectively using EFT tapping. Bonus: Melissa also shares a free tapping script to help you address doubt about tapping's effectiveness.

This episode explores the importance of setting boundaries and saying no, even when it feels uncomfortable.
Why Saying No Matters:
Saying no to things that don't align with you allows you to say yes to yourself and your priorities. It reduces stress and prevents burnout. It empowers you to make decisions based on your intuition and values. Overcoming Fear and Guilt of Saying No:
Melissa shares a personal story about learning to say no to requests. Fear of rejection and upsetting others are common reasons people hesitate to say no. The episode acknowledges the initial discomfort of saying no, but assures listeners it can get easier with practice. How Tapping Can Help:
EFT tapping is introduced as a tool to release guilt and fear associated with saying no. Melissa provides two tapping scripts: One to address the fear of saying no. Another to address the guilt that might arise after saying no.
