Coaching from Not A Blue Tree Gary Burns

In this episode I talk about how coaching can benefit business owners and senior leaders who are looking to take themselves and their business or organisation to the next level. I also touch open recurring themes around emotional intelligence, resilience and renewal, that all-important self-care.

In this episode I talk about rapport. Firstly, I define rapport and then discuss the benefits of building rapport with the people who enter our lives.

Importantly, I then explain how we can all build rapport more quickly, using three key techniques:


matching and mirroring
active listening
sensory acuity

With most of us likely to change career between three and seven times during our work lifetime, it makes sense to think about how we can do this in a way which leads to success. In this podcast I consider the process you may want to follow if your current job is no longer the job for you and you're actively thinking about your next steps.

In this episode I talk about the power of addiction and the potential routes to taking back control. I discuss the various forms that addiction can take and how challenging it can be to recognise that you are no longer in control.

I explain the coaching options that I offer, and how coaching may be the approach that you need, particularly if you have make multiple attempts to start and maintain recovery.

Negative emotions from the past and limiting beliefs can hold us back, preventing us from having the now and the future that we want for ourselves and those around us. Indeed, they can be so powerful that they prevent us from seeing opportunities and choices, reducing our reality and stopping us from achieving more.



Time Line Therapy™ is a technique for resolving the negative emotions from the past which are affecting our present and future, and releasing limiting decisions which we have adopted at any time. The process works with what our unconscious mind does almost all of the time; processing events and emotions, and then storing them separately. Only be reliving those painful memories do we keep the event and the emotion together, impeding their resolution and stopping us from learning from what happened.

In this episode I talk about the very real turmoil, for some, of the mid-life crisis. It really is a thing which some don't experience at all, while others go through serious distress and confusion. I therefore explore some of the ways of exploring all that's going on, learning to take stock, and work out what's working and what could be working better. It's then about deciding next steps, which includes the possibility of changing everything and the possibility of changing nothing now with at least an understand of what the future can hold.
