Coaching as a mini holiday

The season is upon us – the A303 was slow at the weekend as I crawled past Stonehenge en route for Devon, Facebook is full of friends’ Mallorca pix and we’re all telling our hairdressers our holiday plans. If you’re not going away this year, especially if it’s because your career isn’t going the way you’d hoped, consider a coaching mini-break!

Greg Moxham, who owns and runs his own cycle product distributor and workshop business, Vanguard Cycles, took a stand at the National Cycling Show last weekend. He described how refreshing it was to get his head out of the workshop and off his ecommerce site to put himself out there and talk to manufacturers and customers. Sometimes some time away from the norm, time off the treadmill, whatever our treadmill looks like, can be so good for the soul. 

Similarly, a coaching session, presents an opportunity to take time out to do a reset. It’s time to ponder and consider whether you’re in the right place, right job, right work environment – and if you are, whether you’re going in the right direction and doing the right thing by those around you. When you emerge from a coaching session, it can be like coming home from holiday, bringing new ideas and fresh perspective to work and life in general.

If you’d like a coaching mini-break, AC (but not ABTA) approved, let’s have a chat. See crescendocoaching.co.uk or just ping me a message on LinkedIn.
