Tom Paine Life Coaching

Great teams aren't always big. I only have one colleague… My wonderful wife, Sian. She’s an Illustrator. We quit our corporate jobs at the end of 2020. Walking away from stable careers. At the same time… Family thought we’d gone mad. “Are you sure you’re doing the right thing?” Sian’s a fantastic painter. She'd had her business idea for a while. After a successful career working for amazing brands, she could’ve gone anywhere she wanted. But like me, she knew something wasn’t right. Too many weekends and late nights spent with customers and colleagues. Not enough time with our kids or doing the work she enjoyed. She could’ve said, “Hold off, we can’t do this together”. But she didn’t. She listened to my plan. She knew my dilemma and believed in me. Great teams don’t always need to be big. And I'll always be grateful for my one and only colleague. _____________________ Ps. 20% OFF all coaching programmes in May!

“I saw your posts. I could’ve done something, but I didn’t” Alex followed me on Linkedin. He read my posts. Watched my videos. He was bored of his job. He felt flat. He needed support. But something was holding him back from getting it. Alex doubted he was in the right career, he needed answers on his future. Most of the time, he complained to his wife. But she didn’t know what to say to him. This was making the situation worse. And their relationship. Alex’s breakthrough came when he took action and hired a coach. He reserved a place on my Personal Transformation Programme. A 4-month coaching plan designed to give him clarity on his future. To help restore his confidence and self-belief. To enable him to find his purpose in life. In his very first session, he said: “I’ve been following you for a while. I saw your posts. I could’ve done something, but I didn’t” I understand. Not everyone has worked with a coach before. It can seem expensive. Where would you find the time for regular sessions? Believe me, if your situation needs fixing, you will find the time. Alex did. And after 12 months of working with me, he’s grown as a person. He’s happier. With clarity on his next move. His only regret is not taking action sooner. Have you ever procrastinated before?

How I helped Melody Askari discover her authentic leadership style in 4 months: As a Chief Customer Officer, Melody was prone to overworking. Working for a start-up is tough. Her habits encouraged burnout. Melody wanted to develop her authentic leadership style when we first met. Here’s how I helped her: 1. Values Huge for Melody. She stopped second-guessing her decisions after discovering her unique value system. Making decisions became easy because she was clear on her principles. 2. Boundaries Melody wasn’t great at establishing boundaries. She’d work she couldn't deliver because she prioritised others. She introduced habits to protect her well-being and new ways to say ‘no’. 3. Authenticity Melody learned how to become her authentic self. She realised it’s ok to be authentic. This felt like a breath of fresh air to her. ___________________________ That’s how I helped Melody Askari discover her authentic leadership style in 4 months. Here’s what she said about working together: “I have recently completed Tom's Personal Transformation coaching program and was very impressed. “Tom's outstanding listening skills, combined with his knack for creating space for decompression and self-reflection, allowed me to fully engage in a thoughtful and engaging step-by-step program designed to make you think and get to know yourself better. “I wholeheartedly recommend Tom for a transformative and uniquely tailored coaching experience.” ___________________________ Melody took part in my Personal Transformation Programme.

How I regain focus after setbacks: Being self-employed is tough. It’s a rocky road with highs and lows. For example: 1. Ghosting The best thing about my job is seeing clients experience amazing results. But, it’s frustrating when a prospect goes cold turkey. Ghosting is something all business owners experience, but it’s how you deal with it that counts. 2. Product launch fails Since 2021, I can’t remember the new programmes, webinars, and pitches that have failed. It’s frustrating when you put time into a new idea that doesn’t get the result you want. 3. Social media flops Behind the scenes, there are days when I get frustrated about content. You can get as many likes and comments as you want, it doesn't always equal business. So, when these setbacks happen, here are 3 things I do to get myself back into a healthy mindset: - Change my environment - Reduce expectations - Get real! I clear my head by: - Going to the gym - Journalling - Meditation If I’m unhappy, it’s usually because I’ve set my expectations too high. I remind myself of my successes. I adopt a self-compassionate mindset. Setbacks are normal and they include vital lessons. So, don't get put off. Keep going. What are the best tools you use to get yourself back on track?
