This year I’ve invested in my own skills as a coach so that I can better serve my clients and the Just Start Now community. And after years of waiting for the right course to come along I chose Sas Petherick’s Self-Belief Academy.

Having trained April to November 2023, I wanted to share with you my biggest take-aways now I understand self-doubt and self-belief so much more and what I’ll be bringing to my work and programmes going forward with this learning.

In this episode I talk about:

• What is self-doubt? The self-doubt loop, the 7 key risks we’re all trying to avoid and the 6 P’s of resistance that you are more than likely falling into (see diagrams below)
• What causes self-doubt? How the course has shown me a way, even as a coach, to touch on my clients’ past experiences, traumas and understandings of the world and how this impacts their beliefs and decisions going forward
• Meeting the protector. Reframing and building a relationship with the protective part of your mind that is not actually a horrible part of us, but in fact a loving part that is keeping you safe.
• How to embody self-belief. With tools like the belief buster and entering into small but powerful experiments to test out new beliefs that are more conducive with taking ‘just start now’ action
• How to deal with conflict. Whether it’s potential or real, being a solopreneur means there is always risk of conflict and disagreement with others – whether in your marketing or your work itself.
• Courageous goal setting. How not everyone is goal driven (like me!) and the ideas and concepts I’ve learned that I will bring into my goal setting sessions going forward.
