It All Starts with Self-Awareness
Lisa emphasizes the importance of self-awareness as the foundation for building a career that you are fully aligned with.?
By delving into clients' values, interests, and motivations, she helps them understand themselves better, enabling them to make informed decisions aligned with their authentic selves.
?As Lisa puts it, self-awareness- and knowing your values in particular- is like having a compass guiding you towards your true north—a path that resonates with who you are at your core.
Acknowledging Your Fear & Inner Critic
But self-awareness alone is not enough!?
Overcoming fear, whether it's the fear of failure or the fear of success, is another crucial step in the journey towards career fulfilment.?
A key aspect of overcoming self-doubt and fear is recognizing the presence of the inner critic or "gremlin."
This internal voice, often influenced by external factors and past experiences, can sabotage confidence and will hold us back from taking bold steps towards our goals.?
Through coaching, Lisa helps clients identify and reframe these limiting beliefs, empowering them to cultivate self-trust and step into their full potential.
