Self-Coaching: Your Toolkit for Navigating Life's Challenges
In an ideal world, we’d all admit we need help and get coaching to work on improving ourselves.But that takes two things:1. Admitting it - which is possibly what you’ve already done by being here2. A coach - which you may not have or be able to afford yetSo, while we wait for everything to work together for your good and for you to eventually have a coach, what else can we do to make sure we’re moving forward?Well, we can self-coach. Self-coaching is something we should do whether we have an external coach or not, but all the more so if we don’t. Life is hard, and we face various challenges that we don’t often know how to navigate. We can get overwhelmed by decisions or indecision and we can get stuck in our minds.But being your own coach is like having a toolkit to navigate these challenges that come your way. It requires pausing, reflecting, and coming up with not just the answers but the process of getting to the answers. Find out what key questions you should be asking yourself during your next self-coaching session.

High Achiever vs. Overachiever - Achieve Your Goals Without Burning Out
Being an overachiever is dangerous. Overachievers often feel the need to constantly prove themselves through accomplishments, and tend to burnout because they’re never satisfied with how far they’ve come. We can tend to think that being an overachiever is a good thing but realistically, it’s unsustainable. Instead, we should aim to be high achievers who focus on intrinsic motivation and personal growth. This episode is going to help you distinguish several indicators of overachievement and the key attributes in high achievers that allow for sustainability in success.Tune in to shift toward the growth mindset of a high achiever and away from the dangers of burning out from overachieving and never finding contentment.In This Episode:- Overachievers tend to overcompensate- Fixed mindset vs growth mindset- Overachievers are prone to upward social comparison- Primary motivations of overachievers vs high achievers- High achiever qualitiesResources Mentioned:Happiness: Lessons from a New Science by Richard Layard https://a.co/d/ary9qvb Personal Growth Plan https://go.valorieburton.com/swa58441289 Connect with Valorie Burton:Check out all of Valorie's books here - https://valorieburton.com/books/ Website - https://valorieburton.com/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/valorieburton/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/valorieburton/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/valorieburton/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@valorieburton

🛑 If you've ever thought about coaching, or incorporating coaching into your leadership toolkit, don’t miss the Coach Training Intensive happening December 2nd - 4th, 2023! https://cappinstitute.com/coaching-programs/coach-training-intensive/ 🛑“We're looking at expectations that might not even be our own, and beating ourselves up because we're not meeting those expectations.” - Valorie BurtonToday, we're talking about how to stop those unhelpful upward social comparisons that can steal your joy.We've all been there - you see someone doing something better than you and suddenly you feel discontent because you’re not there yet, or guilty because you know you should be happy for them but you’re really just jealous. Don’t worry, it’s natural. But because successful women think differently, we must notice these thoughts and re-shift them to better serve us.How?Decrease exposure, focus on your growth, and compare yourself to your past and future self - not others. (Tune in to unpack what this looks like practically.)You have so much to offer, and focusing on others’ highlight reels and comparing them to your reality is only going to distract you from your bigger purpose.In This Episode:- What are upward social comparisons?- What’s the message in it for you?- Why we compare- Positively comparing upwardly for inspiration- What to do when you over-compare- Downward comparison - who can you help?Connect with Valorie Burton:Check out all of Valorie's books here - https://valorieburton.com/books/ Website - https://valorieburton.com/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/valorieburton/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/valorieburton/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/valorieburton/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@valorieburton
Tell me if this sounds familiar to you:
The hectic pace of life leaves you feeling overwhelmed.
You have set yourself out to achieve certain goals, but you just can't get the momentum you desire.
You are unsure what direction to go next.
Women have more opportunities, more accomplishments, and yes, more overwhelm than ever before. Maybe you can relate? And the research shows we women are also more likely to …
Be perfectionists
Underestimate ourselves
Feel guilty about balancing it all
Get depressed
Less confident, even when we are amazing
But here’s the thing.
Scientific studies have shown what the ancient wisdom of scripture has proven: Successful women think differently. They make decisions differently. Set goals differently. And bounce back from failure and adversity differently.
