Every time I have a session with a prospective client, I ask them to fill out a questionnaire so I can better prepare for the session and get a good understanding of who they are, where they're coming from and what they're looking for. Every 3 months or so, I reflect on the answers so I can better provide support and value for my audience. One of the patterns that I've seen over the last 3 months is people coming to me feeling under confident in being visible. In this solo episode, I break this down: I also offer a FREE session to any listeners who are looking for more support in cultivating confidence in their business.

One of the similarities that I see between teaching and coaching is how a resilient mindset makes all the difference in succeeding and achieving your goals. I don't believe resilience is something you are born with, it's a skill which needs to be mastered through experience.

I've always been considered sensitive but it's only in the last 5 years that I have come to know Dr Elaine Aron's work and what it really means to be highly sensitive. I also work with highly sensitive people and over the last 3 years, I've noticed that there are subtle differences in how I coach in comparison to others because of the clients I serve. In this solo episode, I talk about the differences I see and how being highly sensitive myself has supported me so much in supporting other highly sensitive business owners. I delve deeper into: - the traits of a highly sensitive person - what this looks like in business - what highly sensitive people can benefit from in a coaching container - what we don't do in my coaching container because of the people I serve - how you can take this to apply to your own business During this episode, I talk about Soulful Solace which is available now at https://www.katecarter.co.uk/soulful-solace I also talk about the NEW monthly coaching membership where you can find more information at https://www.katecarter.co.uk/montly-coaching-calls I would love to hear your takeaways Kate x Connect with Kate: Learn more about Kate https://www.katecarter.co.uk/about Website: www.katecarter.co.uk Instagram: www.instagram.com/katecartercoaching Facebook Group: Sensitive Change Makers PREMIUM SUPPORT: Interested in working 1:1 with me?
