Find Life Coach | Meet Pina Sabatino: How to Maximize Performance and Increase Productivity?

Pina Sabatino is one of the coaches we found and we did a little interview with her. She impressed us with her experience and refreshingly direct approach of helping people perform better in business and life in general. Here is what she said.

Meet Life Coach Pina Sabatino:

find-life-coach-pina-sabatino

Name: Pina Sabatino
Pillar: The Mind
Who is this coach for: Business leaders and professionals who want to increase their confidence, productivity, gain clarity and maximize their true abilities.
How they can help: By using various techniques like HOGAN assessment and DISC.

First of all, how are you and your family doing in these Pandemic times?

I’m doing great. The new coronavirus in Italy is losing its potency and has become much less lethal. We’re going back to “real life”

How does the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?

The pandemic situation did not have a big impact on my activity because as I work internationally, I’ve been coaching remotely for the past five years so it was not a big change for me.

I got the chance to work a lot and to get my PCC (ICF), such a huge satisfaction for me!

What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?

It’s all about mindset.. depending o how you look at reality you may find opportunities even in tough times.

Life is filled with uncertainty and worries about the future. While many things remain outside your control, your mindset is key to coping with difficult circumstances and confidently facing the unknown.

The Origin:

Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?

I’m an experienced HR Manager having worked extensively in this sector for more than fifteen years implementing people management best practices and building successful HR departments from the ground up in Italy and Europe.

I was a key senior leader in the organization managing a team of 8 people and I was responsible for improving the performance of the company’s 1100 employees.

In 2010 I lost my job and I decided to turned this experience into a flourishing freelance career. I started as a trainer and soon after I got trained to become a professional coach.

In 2010 I earned my Master Corporate Coaching Certification and I decided to set my own business.

I transitioned to coaching because I wanted to help other people to change or reinvent their lives, to expand possibility, and above all to create an ongoing, life long virtuous cycle of growth and development.

What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?

In 2009 a terrible earthquake stroke the town of L’Aquila where my corporate was based, I lost my job and had to rebuild my life from the scratch..

I decided to work with a Coach.. that was really transformative for me. It changed my life.

The Coaching Style:

How do you innovate with coaching your clients?

There’s just one way to innovate: never stop learning!

Thats’ what I’ve been doing so far.

What’s unique about your coaching approach?

My practice is grounded on an interdisciplinary approach.

I rely upon theories from the fields of psychology, organizational development, adult development, leadership and philosophy.

The specific theories I use from these fields all emphasize capacity building and strengths, rather than deficits and weaknesses.

More broadly I think the things that set me apart as a coach are:

1. Coaching experience with all levels of organizations.

2. Extensive leadership experience in global corporations.

3. Intuition, keen observation that quickly gets to the heart of things but with understanding and empathy.

4. Published author and speaker who can motivate and inspire audiences and clients alike.

5. Great sense of humor that helps lighten the load.

What benefits do your clients get after working with you?

My experience is built upon a strong foundation of understanding how relationships work, how mindset is critical to success and how our behavior can help or hinder us.

I help my clients to pair their business acumen and experiences with an increased understanding of interpersonal dynamics and successful interactions.

People working with me increase their confidence and professional presence, their ability to balance demands, their productivity, and maximize their true abilities.

My clients tell me that I have a knack for reenergizing them as well as helping them clarify what they really want and how to go about getting it.

Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?

I work mainly with people who want to change or advance their career so I find very useful tools like:

1. HOGAN assessment (to help individuals understand their own behavior traits, motivators and potential derailers better).

2. DISC (a self assessment that measures how an individual prefers to interact with others. It creates a common language and a self awareness to better understand ourselves and others).

3. TIP (The InternationalProfile, assess individuals intercultural skills and gives them the ability to develop those skills in order to adapt better in a foreign cultural environment).

4. Life by design approach and Personal Business Model when I work with transitioning manager.

The Impact:

If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?

Life is a wonderful adventure make the most of it.

What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?

Learning to cope with uncertainty which doesn’t mean not having a plan but simply let go and accept the uncertainty as part of life.

Your final thoughts?

Nothing to add.

The 5 Ingredients You Need to Build Your Leadership Skills (Part 1)

The 5 Ingredients You Need to Build Your Leadership Skills (Part 1)

Leadership – such a short word, if you think about it, to express so many things. The beauty of it, of course, is that it means different things for different people, and it’s so complex that we could spend days, if not weeks, talking about it.

I mean, honestly, think about the tons of articles, videos, podcasts, books, conferences, workshops on this topic that you’ve heard of yesterday? This last week? Month? Year?

That’s not going to stop, by the way. One way or another, we’re all becoming leaders, in our own lives and ways. There’s such a need for leadership to stop being a gift that only a chosen few were born with, but for it to become the norm in our own lives!

Leadership is, after all, a skill which we can learn, use more often and benefit more from. It is, of course, a complex skill, which involves several components that could be added by each and everyone of us, in different proportions and different combinations.

There are, though, a few traits of leadership that are being repeated, over and over again, by those who lead, by those who are being led, by those who want to become leaders and those who observe them.

This is the reason why this is going to be a series of articles about leadership, exploring elements that keep showing up when we speak about examples of leadership.

This is, if you will, the general recipe to which you can and should definitely add your own ingredients, mixes, spices, in the amounts that work for you.

The 5 Ingredients for Leadership:
Ingredient 1 – Vision

ingredients-to-build-your-leadership-skills-part-1

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”
“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.”
“I don’t much care where.”
“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go.”

― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

Definitions:

Sixteen years of working with lawyers taught me, among others, one great lesson: we need to define things before we start talking about them. It can prove to be a very healthy exercise, by the way, that saves a lot of time.

So, in good old lawyerly spirit, let’s look at some leadership definitions (first thought that comes to mind is ‘how hard can it be, the word is clearly formed of ‘leader’ and ‘ship’ – pretty clear to me! But well…)

So here it is defined in the Merriam-Webster dictionary:

1. a person who leads, such as guide, conductor – ‘The tour leader recommended several restaurants in the area.’

2. a person who directs a military force or unit – leaders of the army

3. a person who has commanding authority or influence – a leader in the reform movement

4. the principal officer of a political party – a party member chosen to manage party activities in a legislative body

5. conductor – the orchestra’s leader

6. a first or principal performer of a group – The concertmaster is the leader of the violin section.

7. a horse placed in advance of the other horses of a team

The good old Wikipedia itself is rather good at defining both leadership and leaders:

Leadership is both a research area and a practical skill encompassing the ability of an individual or organization to “lead” or guide other individuals, teams, or entire organizations.

Leadership expert Warren Bennis once stated, “leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.”

And I think, of course, that’s the whole point. There can be no leadership without vision.

And it’s easy to imagine that when we think about the examples we found in the definitions of a leader, right?

Would you go with a tour leader that has absolutely no idea where he’s taking you?

Can you imagine a conductor that has no idea what concert the orchestra is supposed to play?

I particularly liked the horse example because, in fact, how could it lead the others unless he knew where he was going, while they all headed the same direction.

Let’s Make Alice a Leader:

Returning to our initial quote from ‘Alice in Wonderland’, let’s see why vision is such an important element of leadership, and such an important skill for a leader to master.

Vision sets direction (or directions).

NOT ways, just directions. And that’s important because it gives everyone, including the leader, a purpose, an image, an idea and inspiration of HOW they will get there.

Again, it doesn’t mean that everyone must follow the same path or else. It doesn’t tell you there’s only one way of getting there.

It’s like planning for your next vacation. You’re with your family and you say ‘lets go see the Northern Lights this year, we’ll have a ‘once in a lifetime’ experience. That’s it, that’s the vision. All the rest are paths and ways to fulfill that vision: how you get there, by plane, by car or by boat, will you be camping or not, how many days you get to spend where, who does the research, who buys the tickets, etc.

All vision does, is to allow all the people in that story choose paths, contribute their own talents in walking and maybe even building those paths, discussing where each path intersects the other and agreeing they will all meet at the destination.

Vision allows the people in the story to transform, to become heroes of that story, to create it together.

It takes a leader to have that final meeting point clearly pinned down on the map – it takes a great leader to have anyone in that team pin that point on the map, blindfolded.

Vision is the start of both movement and commitment. It gets ‘all hands on deck’ and eyes forward.

Where vision lacks, everyone either wonders about or walks out. Or they ask the Cheshire cat which way to go.

Now, obviously, simply having the vision is not enough. What matters immediately after, is how you communicate that vision.

That’s why ‘communication’ is the second ingredient that grows your leadership skills muscles. Stay tuned for the next episode in the series.

Find Life Coach | Meet Alanna Brown: How to Discover Your Real Self and Live Life in a New Way?

Alanna Brown is one of the coaches we found and we did a little interview with her. She impressed us with her insightful and fun practice to discover your real nature of you you are. Here is what she said.

Meet Life Coach Alanna Brown:

find-life-coach-alanna-brown

Name: Alanna Brown
Pillar: The Spirit
Who is this coach for: Anyone who wants to discover themselves, regain faith in who they are and live life in a new more authentic way.
How they can help: By using techniques for self discovery, empowerment and alignment with your real nature of who you are.

First of all, how are you and your family doing in these Pandemic times?

My family and I are doing very well. We’re all in good health and feeling blessed.

How does the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?

Most of my clients were able to transition to working from home, which worked well for them.

I also had a client who temporarily lost their job at the beginning of the pandemic.

What a significant time to have a life coach, right? I had the privilege of witnessing that client navigate that situation so beautifully.

As for me, I was able to work from home for some time and then returned to the office with safety measures in place.

What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?

Deeper understanding, compassion, and adaptability.

Everyday life changed quickly due to the pandemic, and new ways to connect and live have come to rise.

The pandemic seemed to hold a magnifying glass to things on an individual and societal level, some of which were uncomfortable to see.

That lesson has enhanced how I approach situations in my life moving forward.

The Origin:

Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?

I am a Certified Life and Leadership Coach and owner of “Journey with Alanna”, LLC.

My sweet spot is working with individuals on spiritual journeys and empowering them to intentionally guide themselves to a stronger sense of autonomy and live in alignment with their passions, strengths, and values.

My coaching career started after embarking on a personal journey of spiritual growth in early 2018.

Soon after, I heard the term “life coach” on a tv show, and it was like a light bulb had turned on.

I began searching to learn more about life coaching, it resonated with me, and I knew this profession was for me.

The following year, I started my professional coach training through the Coach For Life Institute.

Now, I’m pursuing a Master’s degree in Consciousness and Human Potential from Maharishi International University to deepen my personal and professional expansion even further.

What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?

The biggest obstacle in my life was learning to use my voice to advocate for myself.

There was a time where I was doing very little of that but not recognizing it as such.

It was significant for me to discern what works for me and what doesn’t and honor it.

It took time for me to learn how to communicate that to others in a way that honors them as well.

That obstacle was essential for me to be who I am today, a woman who stays true to herself and doesn’t take on more than is necessary, emotionally, spiritually, physically, or mentally.

The Coaching Style:

How do you innovate with coaching your clients?

I innovate by empowering my client to align with who they truly are under the changing circumstances.

For me, coaching is more than achieving goals.

It’s about going beyond the ‘doing’ or action of life and attuning to the ‘being’ or innate essence of a person.

And of course, the action is part of our humanity, but I’ve found that it’s not nearly as satisfying or powerful without aligning with that steady anchor or true north first.

I believe that alignment is the key to lasting change and fulfillment in life.

What’s unique about your coaching approach?

My coaching approach incorporates a fun self discovery exercise.

The exercise results in a tool that allows clients and prospective clients to articulate who they are at their core, their most innate nature.

It serves as their true north. As we continue to work together, they consciously begin to align their new choices that core.

I’ve had clients tell me that the self discovery tool comes to mind in between our sessions, demonstrating how naturally it integrates into daily life.

What benefits do your clients get after working with you?

My clients’ most notable benefits are confidence, trust in their intuition, and clarity.

While working with me, my clients are completely in the driver’s seat of their lives.

The established ability to trust themselves in the driver’s seat lends itself to those benefits.

My clients move forward, taking inspired action to unfold the physical manifestations of what they have identified as goals or desires.

Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?

My favorite tool to use is the self discovery exercise that I mentioned earlier.

I use both a mini version and a full version to assist my clients in bringing their true north to light.

The Impact:

If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?

It’s time to focus on who we are at the core of our Being and make choices from that inner knowing.

That shift in focus will allow our lives to unfold with so much more ease.

What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?

The inner work of personal growth is never done.

There’s always more to explore, and that’s a good thing!

Your final thoughts?

To open the door to including more authenticity, fulfillment, and well being into the picture of your life, I would invite people to ask themselves this question,

“who do I want to be for myself and others around me?”

2 Dos and 2 Don’ts When Coming Home From Surgery

2 Dos and 2 Don’ts When Coming Home From Surgery

If you are finally coming home from spending a few nights in the hospital postsurgery, there are a few things you will be told to do, and not to do, by your doctor.

One of the things that will certainly be on your to do list is to continue to rest up, just because you have been allowed to leave your hospital bed doesn’t mean that you are ready to throw yourself back into your normal routine.

When you are discharged from the hospital, it is under the proviso that you continue to rest and recuperate and continue your recovery.

Depending on the surgery you underwent, your recovery time may well be weeks or months, and that certainly won’t improve should you not heed the doctor’s warning.

Here, we will cap some of the basic dos and don’ts that you should follow when returning home from the hospital.

4 Tips for When You Come Home From Surgery:

coming-home-from-surgery

Do: Rest!

Absolutely the number one thing for you to do is to rest.

Do not return to work if you are not medically cleared and, even when you do, try to work out a return to work plan with your manager. It may be beneficial for you to alter your responsibilities at work depending on the type of surgery you had, and the type of work you do.

Companies will usually wish to carry out a fit for work examination before you return. Just as you should be careful returning to work, you should also be mindful about returning to any hobbies and activities that may involve strenuous exertion.

Sports, for example, should be off the table until your doctor has given you the all clear. The last thing you want to happen is to go against medical advice, partake in a game of football and end up undoing all the work the surgery has done, as well as potentially causing more damage.

Don’t: Rush Yourself!

When you are recovering from surgery and resting up it can be boring.

We understand, especially for those who are usually so active and always out the house keeping themselves busy. If you try to rush your recovery, you will likely only end up achieving prolonging your recovery time which, for those on an inpatient position, will certainly not enjoy.

If you feel pressured to return to work before you are fit and healthy, you should keep and note and look to speak to your manager or HR.

Any team member should only be allowed to return to the workplace once they are medically cleared to do so.

Do: Seek Support!

Friends and family will be there for support to help as you recover.

Alternatively, if for whatever reason that isn’t an option, then there are many hospital to home services that will ensure that your transition and recovery goes smoothly.

Whatever you may struggle with, from feelings of pain, rehabilitation to being able to undertake simple tasks, you can call on someone to provide the level of assistance you need during this time.

Even if you simply need someone to talk to, you will be able to find someone more than happy to lend an ear.

Don’t: Fall into Bad Habits!

When recovering from surgery and unable to keep as active as you ordinarily might, it can be all too easy to fall into bad habits such as eating junk food to compensate.

A poor diet will do nothing for your recovery or your physical and mental health.

Filling the void of regular exercise with unhealthy food and drink will form bad habits that will be harder to break the longer it continues.

Remember, the return home is just the first big landmark in your recovery.

As you listen to the advice of your doctors and continue your rehabilitation, you will soon be back to doing what you love most.

Always first listen to what your doctor advises you to do.

You are never too old to change your life! Here are The 6 Steps to Change

There is that classic saying: “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks”. But where did this outdated, and completely inaccurate mindset came from?

Not only can old dogs in fact learn new tricks but you can too!

We have all heard people make the excuse that they are too old to do something, we have probably made this excuse ourselves here and there.

Too old to go back to school, too old to change careers, too old to find love. But there is no such thing as being too old when it comes to making changes in your life.

If you want to find love, then get on those dating apps. If you want to go to nursing school as you had always dreamed, then sign up! If you want to retrain or learn a new skill, get started on it right now.

The Problem is Routine:

You have probably fallen into the trap of monotony. You have your way of life and a certain way of doing things, it is comfortable and familiar.

But are you feeling fulfilled?

Do you find yourself yearning for a new adventure?

Maybe you had some big plans but then life got in the way like paying off a mortgage or raising children, and your previous dreams were put on the back burner. That is okay.

Life happens to us all and different things take priority.

However, do not live in complacency or let fear rule your life.

If you want to go after something, then go for it. Do not settle.

Do not believe the myth that adventures and big life changes are only for the young.

It is never too late to revisit those aspirations you had in your 20s.

Something as simple as learning a new skill can give you a new lease on life, a new passion or interest.

It can improve your self esteem, enhance your quality of life, help to cultivate meaningful relationships or bring you a sense of joy and fulfillment. You can start living life with intention and purpose.

In fact, if you don’t know what your purpose is and you want to find out I have created a complete guide on How to Find Your Purpose for you, the same one I give to my clients, and you can use it for free.

The 6 Steps to Change Your Life:

steps-to-change-your-life

The first step is to let go of any previous beliefs you had about your inability to make changes.

Shed that phrase “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.”

Approach this adventure with optimism and belief in yourself.

1. Find the what.

Close your eyes and think about what it is you want to achieve in your life. Make notes or journal about what you are considering doing.

2. Uncover the why.

Identify why you want to do this. What do you hope to get out of it or how will it benefit your quality of life?

3. Plan the how.

Make a plan and identify the steps you will need to take, no matter how small. You can start making little movements towards your ultimate goal today.

4. Feel into taking action.

Start to visualize yourself taking action and imagine yourself enjoying it! Focus on the positive feelings and the sense of accomplishment you will feel in the end.

5. Think into taking action.

Play this visualization over and over again. Everyday. Run this through your mind throughout every step you take and draw on it when things get difficult.

6. Take action.

Finally take one step toward your goals every day. This is crucial. Nothing is going to help you if you do not take this step. One small step, every day.

If You Think Any of These 12 Thoughts It’s Time to Talk to a Life Coach (this is your sign)

If You Think Any of These 12 Thoughts It’s Time to Talk to a Life Coach (this is your sign)

Being a Life Coach is very rewarding, but there’s no denying how exhausting it can be at times.

Being so invested in the success of helping others elevate their mental health can be quite an emotional ride! As I screen through clients and see who is truly ready to make changes, I’ve noticed a trend.

Readiness is determined by one thing: You just have to be tired of the way things are.

It’s that simple, really.

Oh, I’ve had callers who were excited but couldn’t make the time commitment, financial investment, etc. And I’ve had clients whom just wouldn’t do the work, their comfort zone won over their desire to change. 

Those who have worked through the process, used the tools, and turned it into a lifestyle, have forever changed their mindset and probably their entire lives. 

It’s not just about saying positive quotes all day or sitting in meditation for hours. It’s taking each method, step by step, day by day, and learning to integrate it into your life so it instills new perspectives, beliefs, and actions.

Whether it’s Relationship Coaching, Business, Spiritual, or any kind of Life Coaching, the changes are long lasting for those who choose to embrace it. 

In a recent coaching session, I was speaking with a client who said, “I really need this every week to keep going especially when I think I can’t.” I love hearing when someone says, “You’ll be so proud of me!” To that I say, “YOU should be proud of you!”

Although a somewhat new premise, the idea of helping oneself or finding new ideas is not new.

It’s only the “where” you go to find it that is in question. If you are looking to change ANY area of your life, it is inclusive, and honestly, touches on every aspect even if you think you are seeking one type of coaching. 

12 Thoughts Telling You It’s Time to Talk to a Life Coach:

thoughts-its-time-to-talk-to-a-life-coach

If any of the 12 thoughtsbelow have crossed your mind it may be time to seek some guidance from a Life Coach:

1. I feel stuck in my life, as if I’m repeating the same thing over and over.

2. I can’t get motivated.

3. I don’t know what my purpose is.

4. I feel scattered and disorganized in my work and home balance.

5. My relationships don’t feel fulfilling.

6. I don’t know how to reach or set goals.

7. I have low self image and esteem.

8. I’m going through a divorce or break up.

9. I’m starting to date and find it overwhelming.

10. My partner and I feel disconnected.

11. I am feeling anxious or discouraged with life.

12. I have past issues I want to overcome by releasing them and moving forward.

The stigma around mental health is improving and we are learning how beneficial it can be to help ourselves.

It’s ok to be focused on yourself and your well being. You will change and the world will change around you.

If you are struggling today, I encourage you to reach out, talk to someone, and take action to invest in your wellness. 

Love and Blessings,

4 Signs of Mental Health Issues that Parents and Students Should Not Ignore

4 Signs of Mental Health Issues that Parents and Students Should Not Ignore

Mental health or mental illness comprise a plethora of conditions that may have an impact on your overall health.

Your mental disorders affect your thinking, behavior, and mood. A few common issues associated with mental health disorders include schizophrenia, eating disorders, such as bulimia and anorexia, addiction, depression, and anxiety.

The problem with mental health conditions is that they can intervene with your ability to function, study, or work normally.

Consequently, they will influence your quality of life.

Typically, you can manage the mental health disorder symptoms with psychotherapy and medication.

What Do The Statistics Say About Metal Health:

A lot of you may not know already, but mental health issues are relatively common. As a matter of fact, every 1 in five person is affected by it.

It has got nothing to do with age, and whether you are a child or an adult, you may have mental health issues.

The problem is we lead an overcomplicated life.

There is so much to do every day that you often fail to keep pace with things. This might often result in a breakdown and intervention with your mental health.

You are not weak to break down, but it should be your constant attempt not to drag you to that situation.

So, as a professional and as a student, if ever the tasks in your routine life become overwhelming, seek help.

Students can look for so called do my homework online services, and adults can delegate or postpone the tasks to another day.

Now, as a parent and as a student, you need to be self aware.

So, here, we will enlist a few warning signs of mental health that nobody should ignore. Let us get started and address them one by one.

4 Signs of Mental Health Issues You Should Not Ignore:

mental-health-issues-parents-and-students-should-not-ignore

1. Frequent and intense mood swings.

Anytime some mentions mood swings, the first thought that strikes you is a difficult and problematic adolescent.

However, the fact of the matter is that all of us experience mood swings or a rapid switch in our feelings from time to time.

However, each one of us might have a different trigger, and we cannot call one more substantial than the other.

At times, your fluctuating hormones might be responsible for the mild moodiness. But in some people, the mood swings are intense and rapid.

This is when they do not fall under regular adolescent anguish.

If a child is prone to a regular and extreme change in mood, it might be an underlying symptom of depression or bipolar disorder.

Of course, bipolar disorder is a brain illness, but there is always an underlying cause.

Experts believe that it is often an outcome of the chemical imbalance in the brain, or it may stem from environmental factors, such as mental trauma, or both.

When a child suffers from mood swings, it might result in irritability, rapid shift in energy levels, and extreme happiness followed by extreme sadness.

You cannot ignore these shifts. They may personally not be easy for you to tackle. So, if needed, you can seek therapies or medications.

However, do not self diagnose or self medicate. Instead, speak to a mental health expert, get a proper evaluation, followed by a definite treatment.

At times, your performance is the key trigger of your mood swings.

For instance, there are some subjects that you are just not cut for, regardless of how hard you try. It may be SQL programming, or finance, or math, or anything for you.

If your underperformance is the cause of your mood swings, please do not put yourself through that stress.

There is abundant help available outside. For example, you can seek SQL assignment help or assistance for any subject you find hard to deal with. Do not let it hamper your mental health.

2. Prolonged sadness.

If you have been experiencing bouts of depression or sadness that stuck with you for longer than two weeks, then you can label it as long term or prolonged sadness.

Of course, all of us feel sad from time to time. That’s healthy and normal. However, typically these feelings may come and go.

If it lasts two weeks or longer, it could be a sign of depression and should not be ignored. The inability to snap out of sadness may be of grave concern. Hence, it should not be overlooked.

3. Suicidal thoughts or increased anger.

At times, you may feel suicidal or might feel rage or anger at even the drop of the hat.

You know some students fail a subject and get severely sad about it.

They feel that they are good for nothing, and the world will be better off without them.

So, they start believing that their life does not matter. This can, over time, increase their fascination with death, violence, and aggression.

Please understand that there is nothing in this world that is worth taking your life. So, if it is a failure in the subject that’s making you feel that way, seek help for the subject and not delve into it.

There are online courses available, or you can find platforms that offer do my java homework, math homework, finance homework, or other type of homework.

4. Anxiety issues.

Another warning sign of mental illness is that your anxiety has gone haywire.

Did it ever happen to you that you find yourself constantly worrying about something, and it just gets impossible for you to shut yourself down?

Experts regard this as a symptom of anxiety disorder. A few signs associated with anxiety disorders include insomnia or inability to sleep, problems relaxing, unexplained aches, being irritated easily, or racing parts.

Anxiety is an emotion just like any other emotion. It tells you that there might be something you are not preparing for, something important you might forgot about, that there might be something you have no control over.

But when anxiety remains within our system it might become an issue.

So, if this is how you have felt or continually feeling on most days of the week or if this pattern has continued for over six months, then you must consider seeking health.

What you should remember?

Your mental health is something that you must never ignore.

If ever you see these or any related warning signs, you must immediately take a pause and seek help.

You can seek refuge in your friend, sibling, parent, support group, or counselor.

Never disregard your feelings, and always remember there is nothing that supersedes your physical and mental health.

Take care.

Pillar: The Heart
Who is this coach for: Mostly women who want to live more free life, free from anxiety, overwhelm and worry, filled with self love and happiness.
How they can help: Specially designed techniques for relieving anxiety, opening the heart and elevating the emotional state.

First of all, how are you and your family doing in these Pandemic times?

Myself and my partner live in Italy which had very strict lockdown rules, in the first 3 months we weren’t even able to go for a walk, just to the local shop for groceries.

We made the most of it, focusing on keeping ourselves healthy and uplifted, enjoying the peace and tranquillity, discovering new interests and hobbies.

Things are opening up here now, including travel, so I am very excited about offering Personalized Solo Retreats and Group Retreats here in the Green Heart of Italy.

How does the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?

I found there has been both uplifting and challenging effects with clients, depending on the specific issues they were dealing with, and where they were in their journey.

Whatever underlying issues my clients were having, the pandemic amplified and brought them up to the surface, giving an opportunity to be healed and released.

It has been a privilege to support, encourage and inspire my clients through the pandemic, helping them release and transform fear, worry, upset, judgement and uncertainty. Helping them heal and move through the rollercoaster of emotions and feelings.

Providing tools to feel calm and grounded, uplifted and energised, connected and present. As well as how to create more fun and enjoyment whether they were on their own or in a family unit.

Through the pandemic, my clients have created deeper connections and compassionate in their relationships with more communication, love and understanding.

They have gained more clarity and focus about what they want in life and how to get there, they are excited and curious about the future and all the possibilities available to them.

The pandemic and lockdown have given me the opportunity to deepen my connection with my partner, family, myself and with nature, as well as focus on the vision for my business.

What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?

Life is precious and to make the most of what we have, truly appreciating it and live with as much love, compassion and joy as possible.

The Origin:

Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?

It was a natural progression and a calling for me, I remember wanting to help others at a very early age, easing my Mum’s migraines through touch.

Due to ridicule from others, I suppressed my healing abilities because I wanted to fit in with the norm.

Finally, after 15 years in the Corporate world, I listened to my instincts and started my holistic practice in 2004 as a Certified Reflexologist. I continued adding healing modalities, including: Aromatherapy and Indian Head Massage, Reiki, Meditation and more.

As my intuition developed and became stronger my role naturally evolved into coaching clients.

I have and continue to invest time, money, and energy into my personal and spiritual development as well as my coaching practice, studying with leading spiritual masters, teachers and experts.

What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?

Like most of us, I have experienced many obstacles, I realized I was my biggest obstacle, I used to look outside of myself for things to be different, until I realized it was me that needed to change.

Low Self Esteem, affected me in so many ways, and created negative patterns, always looking to others for approval, lacking healthy boundaries and making questionable relationship choices which were unfulfilling and ended painfully.

Self doubt and feeling overwhelmed, held me back in business more than I thought.

Procrastination, worrying about what others might think, not knowing where to start all kept me stuck in my business for several years.

The Coaching Style:

How do you innovate with coaching your clients?

Some of the key areas where I innovate include:

Activating possibility within my clients, it’s one of my superpowers, by using powerful insight, perspective and systematic questions designed to activate what’s possible.

With this process I help women visualize and feel what their life could be, versus feeling stuck and unfulfilled.

What their ideal life looks like: in their relationships, their careers or business, their health, lifestyle and finances.

Unlocking and transforming the hidden beliefs and obstacles which get in their way, clients actually feel a shift in their body as they let go of the old and create space for the new.

Reconnecting clients back to the heart of who they truly are, and what lights them up.

Tuning them into their inner guidance system, intuition and wisdom, including what their feelings and body are communicating with them.

What’s unique about your coaching approach?

To understand my unique approach, it’s helpful to gain some insight into who I am and share a little about me.

Those closest to me have described me as a freedom seeker, lover of life, adventurer and activator for what’s possible.

Both loved ones and clients know me to be wise, insightful, intuitive, inspirational as well compassionate, loving and fun.

My approach is uplifting with loads of encouragement, inspiration, and play. Clients, experience plenty of “ahaa” moments and profound insights.

I was born in the UK and worked across Europe and North America for over 15 years, which has been quite the adventure. I moved back to the UK 8 years ago with 2 suitcases, 2 divorces, $2,000 and my dog!

I finally met my perfect mate and we have been living together for 4 years, moving to Italy in 2019 living the dream!

What I offer my clients is a unique experience which includes a VIP customized Solo Retreat along with a Personalized Coaching Package.

The Solo Retreat element is in the breath taking Green Heart of Italy, the perfect place to get away from it all, to reset, restore, reconnect and refresh your soul.

The Coaching element is crafted for the clients individual needs to bring them their desired results, incorporating my unique A.R.C.S method, Awaken, Release, Connect, Soar. A transformative system that I created, taking clients on a metamorphic journey full of clarity and self discovery.

What benefits do your clients get after working with you?

Clients who are invested and committed to their transformation walk away with a life they didn’t think was possible for them, a life free of worry, anxiety and overwhelm, free of self doubt and low self esteem.

Of course, there will be times when they are triggered or out of sorts, I still very occasionally feel overwhelmed or out of sorts myself, we are human after all. However, they have all the tools and techniques to transform and move through it quickly.

My clients feel filled with self worth, self love and self confidence, they feel whole and complete like they have arrived home.

They are in a position to flourish in all aspects of life, personal wellbeing, relationships, career, business and finances and live a life they love.

Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?

Yes, I have many, and it depends on the needs of each individual client, I use a combination of the very best practical proven tools, techniques, and spiritual principles, to elevate the clients emotional, spiritual and physical state of being.

From deep relaxation tools to help sleep or soothe anxiety in minutes to tools for creating clarity, focus and action, as well as tools to create a healthy work and life balance.

All the techniques I use are simple, highly effective and designed to bring my clients the results they desire and help them flourish in all areas of life.

The Impact:

If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?

Life doesn’t have to be hard, stressful or a struggle, you always have a choice and options, there is always support and solutions, you don’t have to do it alone.

You get to choose how you live your life, and as simplistic and fluffy as it might sound by going within and following your heart you will find the magic of life. You will find your Treasure!

What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?

One of the greatest lessons, is understanding that life is a gift and we are all unique with a unique gift to offer.

We are already worthy of love and we are designed to flourish in life.

One of my favorite quotes ”Where ever your heart is there you will find your treasure” by Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist.

Your final thoughts?

Investing in myself and my business was the best thing I could have done. I am filled with self love and self belief, and have unlocked unlimited possibilities, I can now be a far better contribution to others.

I live my dream life, A Life I Love… so why not You?
