Coaches believe that the individual always has the answer to their own problems but understand that they may need help to find the answer.
The essential part is to learn to silence that pesky inner-voice and allow your instincts to take over.
Sometimes that may mean distracting it, and other times it’s about exploring the ‘worst case scenario’ and removing the fear.
Here’s some things we love on coaching and being coached.
