As a productivity coach, I'm constantly exploring new ways to help my clients achieve their goals and unlock their full potential, whether it’s working with me or not. I know what it’s like to have limited resources and to need to make a change, so it’s part of my mission to provide accessible packages and lots of free resources.

This time of year isn't only a season for celebrating, it's one of reflection and planning, and the art of self-coaching can be incredibly helpful for doing that!

I recently had the chance to chat with fellow coach Lisa Kneller, and she shared some insightful strategies for effectively coaching yourself. These are especially helping if you do not have access to an external coach, but can be useful even if you do!

When checking in on your purpose, you want to ask questions like:

• "Who am I?" (Exploring your identity beyond just your roles and titles.)
• "What am I doing here?" (Uncovering your purpose and calling.)
• "Where am I going?" (Visualizing the direction you want to take.)

And when you’re working on your mindset and confidence, it’s important to ask questions like: "Is this thought really true?" to question the validity of your internal narratives. (They can be tricky and sabotage all too easily.)

I won't pretend these are easy questions. Simple, yes, but they dig deep and answering them does require some work. But it's worth it!
​
​Whether you have a coach or not, I highly encourage you to start incorporating these self-coaching strategies into your life. If you’d like to hear more about these questions and how to approach them, I welcome you to check out podcast episode #238.

As you try these out, remember, the most effective self-reflection comes from cultivating curiosity (leaving judgment out of it) and being open to discovering new versions of yourself. Who will you be and where will you be going in 2025? I'd love to know!

If you love the idea of reflecting, but it feels like more than you can DIY, I'm here for guidance and accountability and offer a variety of flexible coaching packages to help. (See below for a great starter package with a special VIP price for you. And be sure to check out the COACHING page of the Positively Productive website for other options.)

Wishing you a season of joy and reflection that includes appreciation for all you are and all you do,

♥
