Mastering Emotional Control
Silencing your inner critic
You’ve heard of the inner meanie, that voice inside of yourself that tells you awful, unkind and untrue things, the devil on your shoulder eroding your self-confidence. We all have stories we tell ourselves, but the people who live a values-based life are those who know how to unhook from their stories and make choices about how they respond.
Shift your perspective!
Perspective. The very word itself indicates a view, a direction, and observation. However, like all things emotional intelligence it’s not fixed- we can shift our perspective, which in turn allows us to live aligned to our values rather than in opposition to them. This gives us the ability to live better, across all elements of our lives. Best of all is it’s easier than you think to shift your perspective and reap the benefits.

What do you stand for?
Authenticity has become a bit of a buzzword in recent times, hijacked as a marketing tactic, but this doesn’t diminish its power as a concept that embodies living our values. But before we can live our values, we need to be able to clearly, unequivocally articulate them, even, especially, to ourselves.
The path less travelled?
What do a pilot, financial controller, kinesiologist and wellness and lifestyle educator all have in common? They each represent the roles I’ve held in my diverse career path. It’s this winding road, the path less travelled that guides and informs my hybrid approach to my leadership and life coaching consultancy.
