Down The Corridor

Down The Corridor WE HELP YOU SEE WHAT YOU CAN'T! We specialise in coaching professional services WHAT IS COACHING? A relationship – that changes your mind. WHY SHOULD I CARE?

HOW WILL I KNOW WHEN IT'S WORKED? You will get meta cognition – the ability to see things about yourself, and others, that you could not before. Professional advisors without meta cognition create client experience by accident. We can help them create client experience on purpose.

I only became a lawyer because I thought it was what those around me wanted.

Carl Rogers, the father of person centred therapy, might have asked me "Who made that choice, the Real Self (the person I really am), or the Ideal Self (the person I aspire to be)"?

I could respond "I just fell into it, couldn't think of anything better to do, I watched too much LA Law (google it)." What I could not say is "I just knew, from the outset, that it was the one thing I was born to do."

Whilst a lawyer, I would have found the idea that I could do anything else ridiculous. Law was not my job, it was my identity. WIth help, I was able to realise that I was wrong. I am not my job, neither are you.

Ask yourself this, if you meet someone for the first time, how long does it take you to tell them what you do?

When I’m struggling with my own emotions, I can try to control others in order to make myself feel better, or I can manage myself.

For advisors, learning how to manage your own behaviour is the first step to managing your clients behaviour - behaviours like what your clients choose to invest in, or whether or not to sue, for example.

Dunbar's number and the psychologically safe organisation.

Robin Dunbar posits a connection between brain size and the maximum number of relationships that a human can maintain. Like all properly peer reviewed and highly respected research, some take issue with Dunbar's number, but that obscures what I see as the real insight Dunbar offers us.

It's good to talk. Really good. Dunbar seems to suggest that language is the delivery system for numerous evolutionary benefits ranging from the biological, psychological, social, to the organisational.

I have the privilege of working with organisations who get the benefit of just how good it is to talk - One of them, Clarke Willmott, recently voted one of the best law firms to work for in the country.

What ever your views on the Monarchy, the weekends celebrations was a tough gig.

The greater the solemnity, the harder it can be to appear self assured.

The ability to perform under pressure is a skill that can be developed. Whether it's a pitch, an investor relations meeting, or a Coronation, click the link in the comments section below to join a taster session or get in touch.

I once spent an entire day finding that everyone I met smiled at me from ear to ear.

It wasn't until a friend of mine pointed out that my flies were undone, that I realised why.

And that is why the insight can be useful. Insight is about those aspects of yourself that others can see, but you can't.

If you want insight, use the link in the comments section below to arrange a taster or get in touch.

Imagine if COVID had only happened to you.

If you were the only person who had to isolate from others, observe distancing and stay at home, there would be a huge outpouring of empathy towards you.

Thing is, it happened to all of us. We are all thinking about the future of work with minds still dealing with the feelings of loss caused by COVID. Perhaps that’s why some employers are seeking to enforce a return to work, instead of inviting employees to work where they feel they are most productive.

If you would like to chat about the work I do to help organisations navigate the post environment COVID differently, get in touch using the link in the comments below.

Assertiveness is saying what you need to say in a self confident way, without being aggressive.

Your feelings will tell you what you need. Your needs will tell you where your boundaries are and what you will, or will not accept.

Being assertive can be hard. That’s because in an assertive conversation, who we have to deal with is not the other person, it’s ourselves.

Assertiveness is a learned skill. To find out more about assertiveness join one of our taster sessions using the link below.

Think of a long standing relationship

What made you go “wow?”

Is it now what makes you go “ugh?”

That’s when the real work starts; when the shiny stuff isn’t so shiny anymore.

Assumptions allow us to make meaning, draw conclusions, and feel safe in an uncertain World.

Assumptions can make for an easy life, or not.

Here's how to tell the difference.

An unhelpful assumption will consist of rigid thinking, an absence of being able to see things from any point of view except your own, and a search for evidence to support your own view.

To learn more about how to identify and transcend the assumptions that are holding you back join me for a coaching taster session, this Wednesday - link below everyone is welcome.

Easter is upon us, with some of us spending more time with our families. A time of almost infinite capacity for misunderstanding.

𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

And it’s a normal human reaction in face of change.

The fear is helping you notice, in the daily noise of life, what is important.
