PS: the swimmer in the picture is not me!!

Volunteers week…. I started as a volunteer in 1987 in my local Women’s Refuge and never looked back. At the time I also volunteered for Amnesty International, I remember lots of letter writing (yes!) in support of political prisoners in various countries. Both roles appealed to my values and were personally very fulfilling.

So I would say this ⭐️⭐️⭐️Volunteers are Stars⭐️⭐️⭐️

Today, Civil Society needs volunteers more than ever. There is a lack of awareness among the general public of the range of causes and issues on our doorstep and inequities in access to volunteers across communities.
Volunteering… and I don’t mean enforced volunteering which would be an oxymoron - brings a sense of purpose and adds value all round.

I often have to define what my coaching approach is, for proposals and on discovery calls. Here are just a few of the key principles and beliefs I follow:
- Unlike mentors or advisors, I don't give advice, tell you how to achieve your goal or profess to have any specific expertise. I only share my experience if it is relevant and if asked, but this should be in the service of you, the client.
- Experience is very personal and everyone's world view is made up of their past experience, background and beliefs. As such, I reflect on my own blind spots and potential biases with my supervisor to keep my practice non judgemental during sessions.
- As a coach I work WITH you not FOR you to explore your strengths and inner resources. I believe you have it within yourself to achieve your goals. As a responsible adult you know what actions you need to take; you understand this at an intellectual level but somehow cannot get past Go. My coaching is focussed on exploring any limiting beliefs that hold you back and help you cross that threshold to take action.
- I deal with optimism not positive thinking... there is a difference. The former is about believing that it's possible to overcome obstacles, even when the answer is not immediately apparent, the latter is about thinking good thoughts without taking responsibility for the outcome.
- There is no substitute for doing the hard stuff. If a coaching intervention is to be sustainable, it has to touch on deeply ingrained habits and beliefs otherwise it's only a temporary feel good intervention with no real change. There is a place for this but time and money is limited!

Old ways won’t open new doors….
Unlock your potential over a few coaching sessions and surprise yourself with new thoughts. How? My tips to self coach….
- try to journal every day and note three changes in behaviour, all it takes is 10 minutes.
- try to be self observant and your own best cheerleader. No it’s not over-indulgent! Work in progress lasts a lifetime and is lifelong learning.
- Meditation helps to clear a cluttered mind. 10 minutes every day to breathe, slow down and be with silence.
- When something troubles you, create a new way of dealing with it, inspire and surprise yourself: through books, poetry, a film, a friend or philosophy. Someone, somewhere has trodden a similar path and has wisdom to impart.
Don’t stay in your head, because that’s where thoughts simmer and overcook!
