How gorgeous is this tree lined path my boy's and I found on a walk today! So pretty.

I managed to sneak this walk in during an hour I had between clients this afternoon. I find the fresh air really helps my clarity of thought in coaching sessions, especially during the mid-arvo slump we can sometimes feel.

How do you manage the mid-afternoon energy dip? Or, do you notice a dip at different times of the day or week?

Happy Friday :) a quick note to make sure you are aware of another fantastic Thrive For Life FREE webinar coming up.

This is for parents/carers and your teens in year 11-13. For our Australian families, that's year 10-12. Join Marina Shearer Director of Thrive For Life as she explores the topic of psychometric profiling to help teens gain a thriving edge in their life and assist in career planning.

Please share with anyone you know who may benefit from being empowered with this information.

Empowering Teens with Psychometric Profiling for Self Development and Career Development.

It’s been a very busy week at Thrive Coaching as we profile students who wanted to make the most of our $195 price before we go up to $250 on August 1. There are providers around NZ charging upwards of $350 for the services we provide so it really is worth thinking about booking your young person in asap. We have had to raise our prices but you have a few more days to purchase our profiling services for the same price as we have had for the last three years.

Check out all the options here or send me a message to chat more about Youth Career Profiling for Year 12 students [Year 11 in Australia] :)

Psychometric profiling tools offer invaluable insights into the unique characteristics and potential of teenagers, aiding in their personal and academic development. By assessing various aspects of their personality, abilities, and aptitudes, these tools can help teenagers gain a deeper understandin...

Self regulation is one of the strengths most highly correlated with success. The ability to self-regulate or to have self-control is a competency of Social and Emotional Intelligence. It is crucial for success in the workplace and in influencing teams and incredibly important for our children to be developing for their future success.

When I work with teams and managers, we often discuss emotional self-awareness, accurate self-assessment, trigger identification and behavioural self-control. These are all areas for development that everyone benefits from strengthening.

What has triggered you lately? When you dig a bit deeper, what were the setting conditions for you being triggered? What do you notice and importantly, what do others notice? What strategies do you have in place to regain control?

In terms of supporting our children's development of EQ, there is a fantastic webinar on The Power of Emotional Intelligence via the link below. It covers:
• What is Emotional Intelligence
• The Brain Factor
• The 26 competencies of Emotional Intelligence
• Emotional Self Awareness
• Behavioural Self Control
• Stress Management
• Communication Skills

S+EI Competency BEHAVIOURAL SELF CONTROL

As a coach who specialises in supporting teams and individuals to develop their Social and Emotional Intelligence, I find that Behavioural Self-Control is a competency that most people determine they would benefit from working on. This is especially true when we are under additional pressure at work or home. Understanding our emotions, triggers and behaviours [and the impacts of our behaviours] is also super valuable for our young people to start to understand.

Grant Herbert, who I did my training with describes what is going on well;
"Every emotion is positive because it is designed to give you a cue (a clue) of what's going on for you physiologically and, therefore, enabling you to navigate your emotions.

Unfortunately, some situations trigger behaviour based on what happens between that initial physiological sensation of the emotion to that initial feeling that you choose to feel. It's a combination of what you think and believe and what you make it mean. Therefore, it can go outside the bounds of logic and, in a lot of cases, it can actually be counterintuitive to what you want to achieve." - grantherbert.com

The best leaders become masters of navigating their emotions and know how different emotions impact their behaviour. In the workplace you will notice a manager or team member under stress or pressure when their behaviour and communication is 'off'. How well do you navigate your emotions when the pressure is on? What do your team members notice?

Coaching is a confidential process so feedback often comes in the form of a reply to a follow up email or when scheduling the next coaching session. I get many of these types of comments - this is my why. I love that I can support so many leaders and their teams to debrief, problem solve and develop their skills.

These three amazing leaders work in the Early Childhood and Women's DV sector - all three have differing strengths, challenges and goals for growth. All three lead complex teams and are incredibly busy however all three prioritise their coaching sessions once a month, because of the value they place on coaching.

Reach out if you'd like to chat about what coaching could look like in your workplace and how I can support the wellbeing and development of your team.

Hope you're having a lovely day! What's one small thing you're grateful for?

Train your brain to automatically see the 'good' by being vigilant and intentional about looking for it :)

Very happy to share that two of our fantastic TFL webinars are now available to view for an investment of just $25! Both webinars have had excellent feedback 👏
https://www.thriveforlife.co/videos

1. Friendships - A 45 minute webinar on supporting children and teens to develop healthy friendships and friendship behaviours

2. The Power of Emotional Intelligence - A one hour webinar giving you tips and tools to not only understand why EQ is so important but how to support your children [and yourself] to start to develop some of the key competencies of EQ.

Please share with anyone that you think would love to know more about either of these topics 🙂

Parents need support no matter how well they are doing; no one is an expert on every element of parenting and we are all challenged with new situations that we know nothing about and need help to navigate.  That’s why we offer our 45-60 minute topical videos to assist parents to thrive.

Do you know a student in Year 12 [or Year 11 in Australia] who could benefit from some direction and motivation? I can envisage many parents hands going up 😉

Extended DISC Youth Career Profiles are a very clever way to gain accurate insight into natural preferences, strengths, personality, motivators, stressors, suitable careers and much much more.

The assessment picks up on who the individual REALLY is, not what they want to be or are trying to be. This supports them to ultimately go into a career that is right for them and energizes them.

Flick me an email for more info or share this post with a parent you know with a young person around the age of 16 or 17.
