Whether in business or in parenting, relationships can be a tension-fueled balance between operating as peacemaker and operating peacefully. Of course, operating peacefully is always the desired status. But how do you achieve and maintain that status when other people make it difficult?

The more people you invite into your life that align with your values and your mission, the better your connections. And having great connections is one of the absolute best ways to expand and grow your business.

In life, more space, time and energy is on everyone’s goal list. But finding practical ways to achieve these can be tricky. Methods need to be easy, manageable, and fit into your life, all while remaining flexible to fit your personality.

The power of listening starts with listening to ourselves. When we can see what is going on for us, we can better see what is going on with others. But it can be very challenging, especially as coaches, to listen to ourselves and not automatically think we need to change or fix ourselves or that we’re doing everything wrong.

To discuss the art of listening well, I invited Katie Pulsifer, Master Certified & Deep Dive Life Coach. ...

It’s both ironic and fascinating how we tend to avoid things we know we ought to do, and yet we don’t. But we’re complex beings. Just telling ourselves to move past the fear to move forward in our businesses often isn’t the answer. Whether it’s things you really need to do, or things you only think you need to do, the reluctance is real.

When it comes to grief in coaching, it can crop up unexpectedly and in various ways. And grief is not limited to only loss through death. People grieve varying types of loss so being prepared to help your clients recognize and work through this painful and sensitive reality is a very valuable skill set.

When we, as coaches, are supported personally and in our businesses, we are better equipped to support others. This is key to holistic coaching. But how does one get to the place of whole-self support so they can effectively offer it to others?

Holistic approaches to coaching are becoming more and more mainstream because of how effective they are. When we, as coaches, have a higher level view of how everything in the human mind and body is connected, we can bring a higher level of care to our clients. We can serve and help them more fully, in addition to our speciality or main coaching focus.

Speaking publicly about some of my personal experiences has been something I’ve not done very much. But I wanted to open up a bit more and share. You’ll hear me get emotional in this episode because I am extremely grateful for all the help and expertise I’ve gotten along my journey.
