  • Keeping Up the Momentum and Motivation
    Nov 19 2024

    With the end of the year approaching momentum and motivation seem harder to maintain. With fatigue setting in, it can be tough to stay focused. But it’s not all doom and gloom. As we approach the final stretch of the year, we can take simple, intentional actions to reignite our energy and keep ourselves—and our teams—moving forward.

    In this Coaching Café, we’ll explore practical tips and strategies to keep the momentum alive, even when things feel tough. Together, we'll discuss how we can motivate ourselves and support others to stay on track as we head into the next quarter, with a strong finish in mind.

  • Consistency, Not Perfection
    Nov 12 2024

    "Have you ever felt like you’re not getting it ‘perfectly’ right as a coach?"

    The truth is, no one ever does.

    Perfection isn’t the goal. Instead, it’s about showing up consistently—being present for your coachees, staying engaged in the process, and continuously growing as a coach. It’s not about having all the answers, but about creating a space where growth happens, even through imperfection.

    In past Coaching Café sessions, we’ve explored real coaching scenarios, from working with clients under stress to coaching when it feels easier to just give advice. We’ve discussed how to apply ICF competencies, use effective coaching questions, and hold space for our coachees in a way that supports their growth.

    In this upcoming session, we’ll dive into why consistency in your coaching approach matters more than perfection. We’ll explore how staying present, open, and engaged in every coaching moment helps both you and your clients evolve.

  • I’m not sure it’s my role - breaking down the barriers to mental health conversations in the workplace
    Oct 15 2024

    ‘I’m not sure it’s my role’, was a comment we received recently during a presentation on mental health conversations in the workplace.

    We may notice that a work colleague or client is not their normal self. Perhaps their behaviour has changed or the language they are using and their demeanour is different.

    But the person in the workshop was worried that they didn’t really ‘feel it was their place’ to approach the person.

    It's not uncommon to wonder whether it’s your job to start a mental health conversation or actually how to do that. Alternatively, whether you should get others involved, for example HR.

    In addition, as a manager or coach, when do you take off your coaching hat, and focus on a mental health conversation?

    Thursday 10th October marked World Mental Health Day (WMHD) 2024 in Australia and the WHO states that World Mental Health Day is an opportunity to ‘raise awareness of mental health issues around the world and to mobilise efforts in the support of mental health.’ And the official theme of WMHD is:

    It is Time to Prioritize Mental Health in the Workplace

    Therefore, we thought we’d use the Coaching Café to focus mental health conversations in the workplace. So join Natalie and Paula as they focus on mental health in the workplace and talk about the role we can play, including what to say, what not to say and overcoming barriers to the conversation.
