Today we are focusing on finding peace in your week by theming your days.
Before we get into theming your days for a more peaceful week I wanted to share a coach training programme that I am currently wrapping up and to let you know that there is an opportunity for coaches to sign up for the April cohort. The link will be in the show notes. This certainly is an incredible opportunity and I encourage you to see if you are eligible and apply for the grant,

Positive Intelligence is the framework taught by Shirzad Chamine and in the grant programme you are able to explore in great depth and detail what this framework is first for yourself, and then if you wish to continue, there is more learning available about the model to bring this into your coaching practice.

What benefits can you expect when you theme your week?

• Boost productivity
• Improve focus
• Reduce stress
• It helps you work on-purpose, and avoid working by accident, perhaps reacting to other people's agenda.
• Promotes a better business and life balance
• Another great benefit of a themed week is that it can help you to grow your business. As you accomplish things, it will free up your time so you can spend working on your business, ie coaching your clients !

5 simple steps to batch your days

1. Make a list of tasks that need to be done at least weekly.

2. Group them together into categories or themes that make sense to you.

3. Assign each category a dedicated day of the week.

4. Try out your schedule.

5. Assess and tweak as necessary.

In today’s episode our focus is on helping leaders and shaping organizational strategies with coaching.
I am joined by my guest Angie Alexander, a Professional Engineer, Leadership & Team Effectiveness Consultant, Speaker and a Certified Mental Fitness Coach.

After over 20 years in the oil and gas industry in Alberta, she realized that her technical background combined with her people-oriented approach to working with leaders and their teams was her superpower! She loves nothing more than to support, encourage, lift up and help people be their best professional selves!
She is an empathetic coach and facilitator who loves to support technical professionals, leaders and teams work better together. She has skills in leadership development, mental fitness coaching, organizational effectiveness, facilitation, process design & improvement, change management and project management. She possesses a passion for bringing teams together to work more effectively, make better decisions, be more innovative and think more strategically.
Angie shares what has contributed to her success as a coach:

• Innate curiosity about people
• Effective communication skills
• Humility and willingness to learn

She believes that coaching should not be seen as a remedy solely for underperformers or just for top executives. Angie sees her role as helping people understand that anyone can benefit from coaching. Her engineering background gives her credibility, especially when discussing complex concepts like rewiring neural pathways, which helps in establishing initial trust with clients.
We chat about dealing with the Judge Voice and the accomplice saboteurs, along with their impact on your mental fitness.
Your internal "judge" frequently undermines your confidence, telling you that you're not smart or successful enough and this voice can be quite loud.

[00:01:19] I think as a small business owner, it's really important to look at what systems. You can put in place to be able to make the experience that your customers have enjoyable and efficient. So being aware, I think is the first place to start of just how important it is to have to give reflection, to think about what is the experience that my clients have when they work with me and something that it's.

[00:02:16] This pleasant experience, having the customer journey be one that they remember is it helps you create or present a strong professional image for your business. And I think that's so important cause it gives people confidence to want to work with you. If they feel. You don't have to have it all. You don't need to know it all, but I think presenting a strong professional image definitely conveys a feeling of confidence.

[00:04:44] With that small business. One of the other things that I like to encourage you to do is to think of the different ways that clients can communicate with you.

[00:09:06] And still maintain boundaries. So that is still part of the customer service, but you are entitled to maintain your boundaries. So you could set and stick to clear hours of operation that customers can see on your web presence, in your newsletters, on your social media, perhaps when you are not available, you could create an away message for email inquiries that come in after hours.

[00:09:32] So customers. I have something else on my email signature, where I only like to check emails once or twice a day. And if they're urgent, I will give back to them. Otherwise I prefer a window of time to be able to respond so that I'm not permanently distracted by every single email that pops in. Yo
