Today’s Takeaway from Free Virtual Coffeeshop Group Coaching – via ZOOM – 06 November 2022 is:

“As we go through life, we’re piling on deeper and deeper layers of consciousness, which leads to a greater capacity to take multiple perspectives. It’s a little like the many layers of dessert piled on Miss Piggy’s plate at an all-you-can-eat buffet. Only with this, it’s less carbs and more nutrition.”

Kermit The Frog

Overwhelm is a big topic in today’s VOCA world as we globally work our way beyond the COVID-19 disruptive slowdown. In today’s coffee shop coaching, we addressed how a multiplicity of challenges, during which not only our capacities and abilities are being demanded but also goes off our past feel like being awakened, can put us into overwhelm and exhaustion. In a situation like this, it is easy to forget the abilities and the qualities we do have within ourselves to cope with these challenges.

In a situation like this, it is helpful to lean back, breathe, become aware of any discomfort, and decide to be comfortable within the discomfort. Awareness of the entire situation and ourselves within it can help us to remember our personal abilities, skill sets, and personality traits that enable us to handle many complex life situations. Breaking the complexity of the challenge into pieces to be able to address it one step at a time makes it easier to accomplish the entire task. Once we choose this route and once we develop an awareness of ourselves within the situation, we will not only be able to pass our test with more ease, we will also be able to discover the opportunities that open up for us on the way and from which we can reap benefits.

Three questions from today’s coffeeshop coaching:

  • How are my reactive behaviors helping me?
  • How can I open-up to change through learning new terrain?
  • How do I dare to take new, unfamiliar steps to my new life vision?

Today’s Takeaway from Free Virtual Coffeeshop Group Coaching – via ZOOM – 02 October 2022 is:

“It is by overcoming obstacles that you develop new skills and new ways of handling what the rest of your life has in store for you.”

Anonymous

During today’s coffeeshop coaching, we addressed dealing with overwhelm caused by sudden events or compiling seemingly-overburdening tasks in our already busy lives. Looking at the enormous amount of challenges that are creating overwhelm or mostly just the feeling of it demands that we are open to changing our vision and our approach.

Many times it is the old approaches (the boring, never changing, sometimes successful approaches that helped us deal with our daily tasks over the years) that prove to be inappropriate to help us through new tasks, new challenges, and seemingly-overwhelming situations of today.

Being able to develop a new perspective and, in consequence, a new vision is at the core of the coaching method. Creating new perspectives (looking at things, people, challenges, and tasks with a different pair of eyes) is the way to develop new attitudes, approaches, and methods of getting through the challenging tasks of today and make the mountain a lot smaller than it appeared before.

  • How do I dare to take new, unfamiliar steps to my new life vision?
  • What is one new approach to my topic that I can walk away with today?

Today’s Takeaway from Free Virtual Coffeeshop Group Coaching – via ZOOM – 11 September 2022 is:

“Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.”

Henry Ford

The topics, challenges, and questions are always interesting and unique in each coffeeshop coaching. It never ceases to amaze me how they weave together throughout each discussion.

In today’s coffeeshop coaching, we addressed the topics of uncertainty about the future, how to get clarity, and how to achieve future success as we personally define it. We confronted the difficulty of making decisions about the future while not knowing the essential parameters we might encounter.

Necessary for our way forward is not to lose sight of what we consider our life‘s mission and how at the same time, we can make sure that we don’t exhaust ourselves and, as a result, prevent ourselves from accomplishing our life‘s mission.

Life gives us a lot of chances to acquire positive and negative experiences, which typically leads us to develop insights and abilities to conquer future challenges with less effort and more success. Basing the way forward on the experiences and lessons learned from our past can help us to maximize the outcome of our efforts and not exhaust ourselves. Furthermore, cautiously applying lessons learned will enable us to work on our life‘s mission many years from now without making excessive personal investments of any kind in the undertaking.

  • How do I creatively trick myself into goal achievement without losing sight of my journey?

Today’s Takeaway from Free Virtual Coffeeshop Group Coaching – via ZOOM – 07 August 2022 is:

“Never hold yourself back from trying something new just because you’re afraid you won’t be good enough. You’ll never get the opportunity to do your best work if you’re not willing to first do your worst and then let yourself learn and grow.”

Lori Deschene

When life serves you lemons making lemonade can be tough, so what to do? In today’s coffee shop coaching we addressed this from several angles: happiness, self-awareness, acceptance and more.

We addressed the challenge of defining our core identity during times of uncertainty and ambiguity. Can we define who we are when the clarity is fading about what our professional identity will be in the years to come? Additionally, coping with challenges of working on our future while performing in a new job were addressed. Sometimes it is necessary to decide which demands to say no to. Then, by saying no, what are we saying yes to? Moreover, more stress can be created when our expectations of justice at the workplace are not being met. Managing our expectations regarding what we perceive as justice can be crucial for our inner balance.

Two questions for today’s coaching:

  • How do I break free from old limiting patterns/habits and let my light shine?

  • How do I get creative with life-lemons?

Today’s Takeaway from Free Virtual Coffeeshop Group Coaching – via ZOOM – 10 July 2022 is:

Never hold yourself back from trying something new just because you’re afraid you won’t be good enough. You’ll never get the opportunity to do your best work if you’re not willing to first do your worst and then let yourself learn and grow.

Lori Deschene

In today’s coffeeshop coaching, we addressed the challenge of being or feeling out of control in a particularly challenging situation or confronted by difficult people in our lives. Controlling other people’s behavior, which influences us, typically is not an option. Therefore, we need to find different ways to address the difficult situations we find ourselves in.

We can apply various tools and utilize assets, including people in our lives who can help us make a situation less difficult. A method of addressing a challenging situation in a more playful way and making it more bearable or less difficult to get through is to imagine the situation as a virtual reality game. This way, we can imagine the situation in a variety of different constellations, imagine the behaviors or attitudes of difficult people in our lives in various ways, and thereby practice a variety of ways to deal with the situation. We can also imagine ourselves in multiple constellations with different abilities and approaches. As a result, we can not only create conditions in which we come out on top and we aren’t suffering or victimized, but we can also learn and develop new strengths and abilities for navigating all life challenges.

Two questions from today’s coaching:

  • How do I live life on my own terms while serving others?

  • How do I break free from old limiting patterns/habits and let my light shine?
