Dare To Rise Coaching

Here's a great question for you to take into the weekend...

It was a pleasure to interview recently for the Coach's Journey podcast. Jackee was an integral part of my coach training and continues to inspire me both as a person and a coach. Do check out her Instagram for great content, especially on journaling and using nature as a tool for reflection and growth.

It's not too late to take part!

It's gonna be a great couple of weeks and I can't wait to get started.

DM me NOW if you want to sign up.

Yep. This.

❓Are you a leader?

Fancy changing the world? 🌍

♀️ Let's do it together

Join my FREE female leaders programme. DM me if you're up for it.

I was so excited and delighted at the reaction to my video last week announcing my FREE female leaders program.

So here's some details for you. I'll be sharing more info over the next few days. But get it in your diary!

You will be able to fit this challenge in around your life. It's gonna be mostly videos, worksheets and journal exercises. But you will be able to get as much feedback and advice from me via WhatsApp as you need.

Pop me your email address if you want to be involved.

Hi, bit of a repost here for new followers.

I'm Ruth and I'm a qualified leadership coach, I have 100's of hours coaching experience and accredited by the International Coaching Federation.

I am really excited to be launching my FREE female leadership programme at the end of this month. Pop me a DM if you want to get involved.

Being a coach doesn't mean that I'm superhuman and have life all figured out.
(especially not how to do good eye makeup) I'm not perfect and I have my own issues and foibles like everyone else.

But, I have spent years studying, reading, researching and exploring personal development and underwent over 100 hours coach training. I have had plenty of therapy and worked with my own coach(es).

But I am not the expert on your life; that's YOU!

I will create the space and conditions for you to do your best thinking. I will work alongside you with an unconditional positive regard. Always in your corner, supporting you and cheering you on.

I might offer you ideas, observations or reflections, but I don't have a ready made "one size fits all" approach to coaching. I might call you out on your bullsh!t or the stories that are holding you back - if we've agreed that's OK.

I can hold you accountable if that's what you want - gently or firmly. Or maybe you don't need accountability.

I won't make outlandish promises or guarantee you the perfect outcome. I also won't try and sell you scented candles, aloe vera or vitamin supplements.

If you are curious about working with me, got any questions, or just want to give it a try, then you can arrange a totally free, no obligation chat with me. Nothing icky or salesy. Just a chance for us to connect. I would love to chat with you.

⁉️ Are you reading this and wondering if you are a leader?

⁉️ SPOILER ALERT

Yes, you are a leader.

It might not be at work, it might be at home, with your friends or in your community.

There are loads of ways you might be leading - without even realising it.

Are you always the friend everyone comes to for advice?
🙌 You're guiding, supporting and enabling your mates to be happier and more successful.

Do you have a knack for finding creative solutions?
💡 You're getting sh!* done and leading the way to better outcomes.

Does your positivity and energy lift everyone around you?
✨ You're leading by example, raising others up and making them feel good.

All these things are making the world a better place, so don't underestimate the power of the things you do. Keep an eye out for my FREE programme that is coming at the end of this month that is going to support and guide women to embrace their leadership potential. If you're interested, pop me a DM and I will keep you in the loop.

What unexpected ways do YOU lead? 🤔 Share your story in the comments! 👇

Project yourself forward 20 years... What might you look back on and wish you had given it a go...?

Yep to all these!

Sunshine and kindness is brightening up my day!

What’s made you smile today?

🤬Stuck in a rut? Ditch the desk and unlock a breakthrough!

💻Yesterday's virtual coaching session started off... normally. But a few minutes in, my client confessed a yearning for the outdoors. So, we did something different!

🌞We traded the screen for sunshine, taking a walk while continuing our coaching conversation. Fresh air, a change of scenery, it was like flipping a switch! The session flowed beautifully, leading to powerful insights and clear action steps for my client.

Plus, it was FUN! We ended up overlooking our beautiful cities and even exchanged photos. (Her in Bristol, me in Leeds!) ️ Distance didn't matter - we connected on a deeper level and proved that amazing coaching can happen anywhere.

Feeling stuck? Let's chat! I can help you break free from limitations and unlock your full potential, even if it means taking the conversation outside.

I'm posting these pics as Inner Child work has come up with a few clients recently...

When I imagine a younger version of myself, I find it easier to show myself compassion, love and kindness.

❓What do you know about your Inner Child?

👶Imagine your inner child is a younger you, holding onto all your childhood feelings. Inner child work is like giving them a hug and listening to their worries. It helps you understand why you might feel a certain way sometimes, even if it doesn't seem logical as an adult.

Here's how inner child work can support your development:

🤔Increased Self-Awareness: By delving into your past, you gain a deeper understanding of why you think, feel, and behave the way you do. This newfound awareness empowers you to make conscious choices and cultivate healthier patterns.

💞Greater Self-Compassion: As you learn to nurture your inner child, you develop a more compassionate and understanding attitude towards yourself. This self-love is crucial for overall well-being and resilience.

💪🏼Inner child work can be a powerful tool for personal development. By acknowledging your past you pave the way for a more fulfilling and authentic future.

A great way to start looking into this is through meditation. Pop me a message if you would like some recommendations for guided meditations or if you just want to chat about your Inner Child.

I loved interviewing Tori. It's such a wide ranging and informative conversation with lots of takeways for both coaches and non-coaches. Give it a listen!

Episode #67: Tori Jeffers – Who Wins and Who Loses as Coaching Goes Mainstream? — The Coach's Journey Is the mass-marketisation of coaching de-valuing the practice? Or does widening access to coaching help everyone? Tori Jeffers is a Professional Certified Coach who has amassed over 1,000 hours of experience in just three years. In this episode of The Coach’s Journey Podcast she explores the shift...

🔷The start of this week felt hard for me... I was tired and worrying about a few things.😔

🔶So I just did the bare minimum on Tuesday. Just focused on the clients I had to see and ignored my To Do List.

🔷Wednesday felt a bit better, but I didn't push myself to do anything extra.

🔶By Thursday I felt so much better and ended up being really productive.

❓The learning...? Slowing down and taking things a bit easier when you need to, can reap the benefits further down the line.

🚀It's certainly not rocket science, but sometimes we can forget that we don't always have to push on through.

💙 I just wanted to share this in case it was a helpful reminder for anyone else.

🥳I am so delighted to be joining this podcast as a co-host. Give it a listen to find out a bit more about me, my coaching style and how to misbehave more!

I also discuss some of the downsides of the coaching industry, scams and cults. Fair to say it is a wide ranging conversation. Let me know your thoughts...🤔

Episode #66: Ruth Saville – How to Be a Rebel, Misbehave More and Set Your Sights on Being a Master F***ing Coach! — The Coach's Journey Would you like to have more fun while still working in your zone of genius? Are you concerned you might need to shake things up to avoid becoming a boring coach? Ruth Saville’s advice to coaches everywhere – including herself – is: misbehave more. Listen to your inner rebel. Dance in the momen...

❓Which mole have you recently whacked on the head?

🔨I think my most recent one is learning to love my body and to try not to feel pressured by all the crap we are fed on social media.

This is something I talk about this with my clients all the time! Personal growth and self development is a lifelong journey, so let's make sure we have loads of fun on the way.

🟣What happiness-limiting behaviours would you like to walk away from?

🟣Can you be counter-productive?

This quote is from 's newsletter. I would absolutely recommend signing up for this if you are interested in personal and/or professional development. He is great at simplifying ideas and distilling them down to understandable and actionable.

He also wrote the book which I would recommend highly too.

🎭 ⚽ Combining my love of theatre and my partner's passion for football, we went to watch this last week.

It was flipping brilliant. Joseph Fiennes amazed me as Gareth Southgate. It inspired me and also made me ponder leaders and leadership, so I put pen to paper... 📝

Here's my takeaways and some questions you could ask yourself about leadership.

I would love to hear your thoughts; either about the play or the article!

Leadership lessons from the National Theatre — Dare To Rise Coaching I am not a fan of football. But I am a fan of people and what makes them tick.

We can get caught up in:

🟣Comparing ourselves to others

🟣Waiting for the "right" time or perfect moment - whatever that is.

🟣When maybe, we just need to do the sh*t, take some action, or just eat the 🐸

🟣We can get so bogged down with our "To Do" lists.

🟣At times they can actually be discouraging and unachievable.

🟣So why not try a "Ta Da!" list?

🟣It's a great way to highlight what you have got done, instead of what you haven't.

I've also added some positive questions to ponder on at the end of the day. But you could create your own.

📩If you want a copy of this one - just pop me a DM and I will send it over to you.

🟣What would you create if you knew you couldn't fail?

Weekend reading recommendation!

"The Mountain Is You" by Brianna Weist. I found this to be a quick and easy read with plenty of take aways. Gems include:

"Stop accepting your own excuses. Stop being complacent with your own justifications. Start quantifying your days by how many healthy, positive things you accomplished, and you will see how quickly you begin to make progress."

Already read it? Let me know what you thought of it. Want to read it? Save this post as a reminder.

I love "No More Sh*t Managers" as a title for a book! I am really excited to listen to this, to learn more about Jo, her book and creating a coaching culture in the workplace.

If you're interested in using coaching skills at work then this is going to be worth a listen.

Episode #63: Jo Wright – We Can Make Things Better, But We Have To Do It Together — The Coach's Journey Jo Wright admits she had to get her dad’s permission before deciding on No More Sh*t Managers: Seven Steps to a Coaching Culture as the title of her book. Thankfully he agreed and the book has made Jo a bestselling Amazon UK author as her message about the power of a coaching culture spreads

When did you last feel alive?

What comes naturally to you?

These are great questions to ask yourself, as the answers can steer you towards a happier and more fulfilled life. Once you know these answers, you can create more opportunities for you to feel and experience those things.

It may not always be comfortable at first, but engaging in new experiences delivers a proven mental-health boost. In fact, the benefits are so wide-ranging that doing new things should probably be considered an essential element of well-being.
