Coach C.’s Post

I've been working on putting more accountability in place for my business. Mainly so I become more strategic, don't drift, find excuses or procrastinate. At the start of the week shared my to do list with those who I am seeking to be accountable to. Then I quickly realised this was not the right approach. Instead of asking "What do I need to do this week?" I asked questions like "How do I want to feel at the end of the week?" "What will I be celebrating?" "What impact do I want to have?" "How do I want to feel?" By shifting away from the to do and focusing on to be I have gained more clarity and focus. I have noticed when I am getting distracted (a massive work in progress) I have noticed when I am having an impact. How do you start your week? What impact could shifting from to do - to - to be have?

🌟 Day 4 of the 30-Day Appreciation Challenge: Tatiana Vasylieva, Steady at the Helm 🌟 Moving forward in our #30DaysOfProfessionalGratitude, today I want to talk about someone who consistently sets the bar high for all of us at the office - Tatiana Vasylieva. Known for being the first to arrive and the last to leave, Tatiana has a knack for taking on challenges that most would shy away from. The Early Bird Who Gets the Work Done: Tatiana's early mornings at the office aren't just about being the first to turn on the lights. They're about setting the pace, getting ahead on the day’s tasks, and making sure everything's lined up for success. It’s this kind of dedication that makes her stand out. Facing Challenges Head-On: From delivering engaging webinars to rolling out new solutions for clients, I've seen Tatiana tackle a variety of challenges. What's admirable is how she manages to maintain her cool and deliver with precision, even under pressure. It's that balance of calm and competence that makes her work stand out. Keeping a Positive Attitude: One of Tatiana’s most contagious traits is her positive attitude. It’s not about ignoring problems but facing them with a solution-oriented approach. Her positivity isn't just talk; it's reflected in her work and how she interacts with the team, making tough days a bit easier for everyone. A Down-to-Earth Boss: Tatiana, your ability to lead by example and your unwavering commitment to excellence is something I genuinely admire. It's clear that you’re going places, and I’m just glad to be on this journey with you. Keep doing what you're doing because it’s making a difference :) A Call to Share: I encourage everyone to share their own stories of people like Tatiana who make a real difference in our work lives. Use #30DaysOfProfessionalGratitude to spread some of that appreciation around. Thanks, Tatiana, for being such a solid presence in our team. Here's to all the early mornings and late evenings that you've put in, and to the many successes that lie ahead! #Gratitude #WorkEthic #Teamwork #Leadership

🔥 New week, fresh perspective. 🔥 Lately, I’ve been thinking about legacy—not the kind that shows up in titles, promotions, or LinkedIn updates—but the kind that leaves a lasting mark on the hearts and minds of those around us. 👥 What does it really mean to be someone’s hero? Spoiler alert: it’s not about having all the answers or checking off every box on your to-do list. It’s about being there—really being there—when it counts. It’s choosing time over tasks, conversations over meetings, and connection over late nights at the office. This applies not only to our families and friends but extends to our coworkers, partners, clients, and even those we cross paths with in small ways. Years from now, what will people remember? The late-night emails and packed schedules? Or those moments when you put the phone down and truly listened? The titles you held, or the times you showed up when they needed you most? This weekend, I made a conscious choice to unplug, to be all in with my family, friends, and team, and to savor those simple, meaningful interactions that we too often let slip by. It was a reminder that success isn’t always about productivity—it’s about presence. 💡 Being someone’s hero isn’t about doing more; it’s about being more—more present, more attentive, more human. As we enjoy the last moments of the weekend and kick off a new week, let’s keep that energy going. Let’s remember that it’s people who matter most, and they don’t need us to be perfect; they just need us to be there. Whether it’s offering a helping hand to a colleague, giving your time to a customer, or being a friend when someone needs one—showing up makes all the difference. 👉 How will you show up this week? What’s one way you’ll make time for what truly matters? Share below—let’s keep each other inspired to make every moment count! #PhoenixCIA #LegacyOverTitles #MakeTimeForWhatMatters #BePresent #NewWeekNewMindset #HeroInTheEveryday

It´s Friday and as we move towards the end of the working week, I am reminded of this much-used quote: Comparison is the thief of joy. I have witnessed several clients this week, downplay themselves as they compared themselves to someone else or where they think they *should* be, even when they know they are doing it. Can we all stop for just 1 minute and reflect on ourselves and what we have been, done, improved upon this week? Give ourselves a pat on the back or even just be proud of ourselves for more than one moment? Before rushing to the next thing, phone call, meeting or the weekend. How about doing that with our teams too? Not comparing ourselves or our teams to another person or team. Just focusing on ourselves and celebrating those small or bigger wins. What are you celebrating yourself/your team for this week? #fridayreflection #highachievers #wellbeing #teamwork #empoweryou

Friday Reminder!🚀 As the workweek wraps up, it’s important to take a moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate all that’s been accomplished—no matter how big or small the wins may be. In the fast-paced world we navigate, it’s easy to overlook the small victories that pave the way to bigger successes. Today, let’s empower ourselves by acknowledging our progress and recharging for what’s ahead. Whether it’s closing that deal, tackling a new challenge, or simply staying consistent, every achievement counts. Let this reflection fuel your motivation and drive for the coming week. Stay strong, keep moving forward, and remember—you’ve got this! 💼🌟 #FridayMotivation #CelebrateSuccess #ProgressMatters #EmpowerYourself #ReflectAndRecharge #WeeklyReflection

Ending this work week with more realizations: 9. One of the biggest lies I’ve heard growing up is, “It will get easier.” Here’s the truth: it never does. What actually happens is that you become better. I remember struggling with an endless workload, coaching leaders, and managing employee problems that seemed to multiply by the minute. Instead of things getting easier, I learned how to navigate my emotions and handle the pressure more effectively. You don’t escape the challenges, but you grow more resilient. You gain experience and learn to manage better, but the struggles are always there. So don’t wait for life to become easier—focus on becoming stronger. 10. Some things in life are inevitable. You can delay them, but you can’t deny them. Ignoring a problem won’t make it disappear, and avoiding it doesn’t solve it. When my dog’s health started declining, I realized that postponing decisions only left me unprepared. Things happen because they’re meant to, and the sooner we can recognize what’s inevitable, the better we can prepare ourselves. Delaying only increases the shock, but preparation softens the blow. You can delay, but you can’t deny. 11. Life rarely unfolds exactly as planned. You can pour time and energy into something only to find it doesn’t work or isn’t possible. When I left my previous company, I had to rethink my approach and let go of the original plan. But I’ve learned that when you understand everything has a purpose, you become more open to the possibilities around you. When things don’t go as planned, it can feel less like a setback and more like a redirection. If something didn’t happen today, maybe it wasn’t supposed to—maybe something better is coming tomorrow. There’s always a reason behind life’s twists, even if it’s not immediately clear. Let's continue next week, while I count down to the day I celebrate my 30-something name day. 😁 (Throwback to a class I facilitated in May on Problem Solving and Decision-Making Skills)
