Words of Wisdom
Throughout any session, I will work to help you recognize and reframe unhelpful or unsupportive thoughts or words that you bring up naturally in our discussions (no judgement — just support).
I will also share some ideas to consider when applicable to the discussion. One of my favourites…..
If you are not uncomfortable you are not growing. Hence try looking at discomfort (sometimes masked as fear) as an opportunity or gift for your career growth. Now who would not want a gift? 😉
