Resources for the Deep Dive

Here are some more great resources that will support you on your journey towards a more fulfilled live.

The Journey to a Fulfilled Life

The Christian faith is a journey, a pilgrimage, a life long living into, and the wonderful thing is that there are so many who have gone before us and who are travelling with us. The resources in this section have come from the lives of others well lived.

Preparing for ANY coaching session

Each coaching session will start with a centering prayer or grounding exercise to help us both fully arrive and make the most of our time together.

I will then ask you what you would like to work on in the session and where you would like to be by the end of the session. If you have put some thought into this before we arrive it will help you get the most out of our session. Here are some prompts to help you with this:

Bring to mind the overall goals you have for this whole Coaching Journey – the main area or areas you wanted to work on and where you want to be at the end of the whole journey. Now consider (with those goals in mind) what stands out to you as the most important thing to address, this week?

Reflecting on what you are currently working on or dealing with, (this could also include things you have coming up in the near future); what is the thing you are feeling most daunted by? what is the thing that if you dealt with, would release the most movement forward in your team or work? what is one thing that you would like to try a different approach to?

It’s fine to come to a session with 2 or 3 things you’d like to work on, having gone through the process above. Often during the centring prayer or grounding exercise people get clarity as to which ONE of the 2 or 3, they want to work on. If that doesn’t happen I will help you work out which one is right to start with. No problem!

See you soon!
