Executive and Performance coaching with Nicola Ellwood

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Nicola Ellwood who is a Master Coach and NLP Master Practitioner.

From an early age Nicola discovered that she had the innate skill of communicating effectively with others; something which was nurtured within her professional career, as she acquired skills in personal and leadership development. Through this work she unearthed the transformational power of coaching, assisting people to move, progress and make the changes they want to make both personally and professionally, therefore enabling them to be their best self and reach their potential.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• High quality coaching can help you action your goals and realise your potential.
• Communication skills are important in all areas of life.
• When you make a commitment to yourself, you can make massive positive changes.
• When those at the top of an organisation are clear about their goals and work on themselves, that has a positive impact throughout the organisation.
• It is important that coaches have worked on themselves so that they can be at their best for their clients.
• Coaching can give you mental flexibility.
• We have the resources within us, coaching can help us access them.

BEST MOMENTS

• “I was asked to manage a team of coaches and that's where I discovered coaching. And, and I just loved it, and I thought, right, well, if I'm going to manage it, I kind of need to know the depth of it. I really want to know what it is that I'm talking about.”
• “When you're dealing with personal coaching, you're dealing with the person's life. So, if you're not skilled, competent, and flexible with the breadth of tools, techniques and the ability to be completely client centred, then you're doing your client a disservice, potentially, because you're muddying it with your lens or your experience or your world.”
• “Sometimes if you're quite people centred, you're quite externally validated.”
• “To have, you know, almost someone telling me that my instinct was right. It was the first time where I ever really tuned in and became more congruent with myself.”
• “I choose to work in the executive leadership space because my belief is if I can use who I am and if I can use my skills to help people, towards the top of the organization, then that's going to filter through the organization, it's going to affect more people.”
• “Many people come to me wanting to thrive, you know, believing, that presupposition that we hold, which is, you know, whatever we think we are, we are capable of so much more, you know, we're so much more than we think we are.”
• “I would say you already have it within you, whatever it is that you want, whatever it is that you think you need, you already have it. Ask yourself what you want and ask yourself a time when you've had it before because it's pretty likely that you've had it before. You have all the resources within you to be who you want to be."
