GRIT, WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE IT?

July 22, 2021 By Patrick Hutchison

TO ME, GRIT MEANS RESILIENCE.

What is another word for grit? | Grit Synonyms – WordHippo Thesaurus

WE NEED TO PRACTICE RESILIENCE

Some people are naturally accustomed to thriving in environments that are volatile, ambiguous, or uncertain (VUCA).  Many of us can learn to practice resilience.  From recent experience, we are going to need resilience to keep on course.

5 WAYS TO DEVELOP RESILIENCE

  • Become self-aware
  • Regulate your emotions
  • Develop a positive mindset
  • Practice self-care
  • Get support from family or friends

COACHING HELPS YOU TO KEEP TO YOUR PLAN

Like resilience, coaching helps you to keep moving towards your goal.  A coach can help you re-work your plan or adjust your timeline realistically. 
Flexibility is key and working with someone towards your success is better than doing it alone.

Coaching develops self-awareness

July 8, 2021 By Patrick Hutchison

Why is self-awareness important?

At work, a party or even at a school or academic event we interact with people. How we express ourselves determines how easily we succeed.

Self-awareness leads self-expression

You may think you are presenting yourself as intelligent, quirky or fun, but how do your friends, colleagues or boss view your actions?

Self-awareness helps you identify the reasons why it could be difficult to connect sometimes. It helps you to:

  • Know who you are and how you’re perceived
  • Know what’s important, your values, priorities, goals
  • Know what you like or don’t like, but more importantly the reasons why.
  • Ask for feedback and evaluate it constructively
  • Understand others.

How does coaching help improve self-awareness?

A coach works with you to help you objectively consider your performance or needs and helps you to decide your next steps. Coaches, who are by definition objective, will give you unbiased advice towards reaching your goals.

What makes Disclosure better?

We use scientifically proven tools to help you identify your motivations, your values and your goals. 

Using your results, we work on a customised plan that supports you, on your way to success.-
