I’m delighted to announce that I will now be offering coaching services from the lovely therapy room at Counselling West Bridgford all day on Tuesdays and on Wednesday mornings.

In this article we explore our motivations when moving to reach our goals. Understanding our towards and away from motivations helps us know whether we are working towards our goals, or away from our current situation.

From a young age we are asked ‘what do you want to be when you grow up?’ A pretty big question to ask someone at any age - I’m still not sure what I will be when I grow up! This article looks at how you can change your life by forming and reaching your goals.

Do you notice what you notice? Your RAS certainly does! Your reticular activating system (RAS) is the annoyingly excited little sister sitting in your brain stem and continually prodding it to say ‘Look at this,! No wait, look at this! No, this!’

When you think about a life coaching session what do you envision? Two people sitting opposite each other and chatting? Well, that is certainly one great way to coach. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Coaching should be a comfortable place for you and if that means moving it outside of that room then that’s what we will do!

Life doesn’t stop at the office door and nor does life coaching. Understanding how to respond to your employees wants, needs, personalities and motivations creates a more content and productive workforce.

Life has changed for all of us lately, in ways it never has before. For many it’s been a time to reassess and consider whether we really want life to go back to how it was before. With that in mind I wanted to tell you all about the GROW model; a simple tool which could be the first step to making your changes something real.
