The Ascend - bespoke coaching

When's the last time you took some time to recharge in nature? Here's a little nudge to go hug some trees, listen to birds sing, walk around barefoot and get grounded.

What is it you really want?

What makes you feel excited and inspired?

You deserve to create the life you want to live. And you can!

Sounds cheesy? But it's also true.

Feels like you’re lacking work-life balance?

Try these 5 simple things

1. turn your phone to airplane mode 2 hours before bed and keep it on until you’ve had 45 mins to yourself in the morning
2. make a list of 20 things that bring you joy and make you feel balanced.
3. schedule pockets of time into your calendar to do those things: book a massage, go to a class, spend an hour reading a book on a terrace, go to a gallery, attend your favourite workout class
4. make small changes in how you move through the world: take a different route to work, dress differently, switch up your morning routine
5. spend time with friends and family

If you look for a coach to help with your work-life balace on Google, you get 99 million results in less than a second and you’ll spend hours trying to find the right one for you. Most likely you’ll just get overwhelmed and give up the search.

Instead, you can book a call with us and we’ll match you to a great coach within a day or two.

Here’s something we hear often:

“I want to figure out what I really want to do and come up with a clear plan to get there”.

Working with a coach on this can look like: understanding your values and what drives you, becoming confident in your strengths and how you want to use them, looking at the bigger picture of what you want in your life. This results in clarity and confidence in what your goals are. Once you know where you’re going: time to develop an action plan that’s feasible and most importantly built for you - how you work, what gives you energy, what you’re good at etc...

You’ll find that when you’re genuinely clear on what you want + have an action plan that feels exciting and realistic, the DOING becomes easy.

How exciting?

83% of our clients want to understand and leverage their strengths:

“How can I bring my unique skills and abilities to the table and make the most of what I’ve got”.

You might be an excellent mediator, or have a knack for zooming out of the details and seeing the big picture, or the ability to deeply connect with people.

It’s very likely that these are skills you’ve had all your life and so you might not even be aware that they are a strength because it’s “just the way you are”.

Our brain tends to focus on the negatives (“I’m not good enough with numbers”, “I’m not as eloquent as I’d like to be”) so we have a tendency to focus our weaknesses. In coaching, although weaknesses do play a part in the conversation, we also work on making our strengths even stronger.

As we hone in on our strengths, we learn to leverage them in all sorts of situations to benefit ourselves and others. We can become more self-aware, confident, happier and often more successful when we lean into our strengths.

Which one speaks to you?

Have you met Sarah?

Sarah .soul.sessions is one of the first coaches I reached out to when I started .io. Before jumping on a call with me Sarah wanted to know more about what made me reach out.
My answer to her was simple “It’s your energy and message. The confidence, the authenticity, the sense of empowerment you transmit. I think there’s huge unlocking potential for individuals in the approach* you offer”.

We’ve worked together for 3 years now and my initial impression has only been reinforced. Sarah’s practice of radical honesty is inspiring and unfaltering. Sarah is fun, full of joy, brave and grounded.

With an arsenal of coaching tools and a practice of true listening, Sarah coaches her clients to get to the places they want to go - internally and in their world.

If you feel like Sarah could be your coach, send us a DM or book a matching call in the link in our bio.

Do you know what you want?

Have you checked in with yourself recently on the direction you’re headed? Does it feel exciting and aligned or are you waiting for something, not really knowing what you’re waiting for?

As we grow, change and evolve, our priorities, needs and dreams can evolve too. Scary as it might feel to potentially burst the bubble we’ve worked so hard to build, it’s equally exciting to look inside and see what’s cooking below the surface. What could make me feel even more myself, more alive, more excited, more aligned? Do I have new goals to discover I’m not yet aware of?

Take some time to explore possibilities today.

Self-care can take many forms. Remember to do what works for you.

There’s no one right way, only what’s right for you. Explore, change things up, try new things and see how it makes you feel.

Productivity Tool:

Have you tried the pomodoro technique?

Here’s how it works:
1. break down your work into small manageable tasks.
2. pick a tast to work on.
3. set a timer for 25 minutes and focus only on this one task. if you get sidetracked onto something else, reset the timer.
4. when the timer rings take a 5 minute break, then set the timer for your next pomodoro (25 minutes)
5. after 4 pomodoros, take a longer break i.e. 15-30 minutes.

Over time using this technique will increase your focus and productivity by training you to stay in the flow and on task.

Are you going to try this?

Ask yourself:

What if all you could ever want is within reach?

What do you really want for yourself?

What does a day in your life look like?

How do you move through the world?

cover from

It all starts with clarity.

The clear idea of who you want to be. Of who you know you are. Of how you want to FEEL.

If you don’t have it yet, start building a really clear picture of what you become when you meet your potential. Most importantly, focus on how being that version of you FEELS.

Sit with that feeling. Sit with it until it makes you tingle. And then sit with it some more.
You are exactly where you need to be.

Give yourself the tools you need to truly thrive.

What are you already gifting yourself?

What do you need?

Is there anything in your toolbox that you’re not already using?

It all starts with you. If you take care of yourself and prioritize your growth, you will reap the benefits tenfold.

Ask yourself this one question.

You know the answer.

What is it going to take for you to do it? is it clarity? is it motivation? is it accountability? is it time?

If you want to knock down the one thing and the 10 after that, book a matching call with us and start working with your coach by next week.
