Summer offers an opportunity to refresh, renew and relax. It’s so important to take that time, personally and professionally, in order to stay fresh as a coach and also to maintain balance as a person.
Sometimes, coaches can get a little worn out or burned out because of the following reasons:
- Isolation–We are working on our own – possibly from a home office. And so we are self-generating most of our output.
- Self-Care–At times, we may give more than we really have in our reserves and neglect self-care.
- Boundaries–Because of the flexibility that coaching offers, sometimes we don’t set good enough boundaries about our time and can find ourselves returning emails at 11pm on a regular basis.
Let’s take the opportunity that summer provides to fill up our tanks and reset our expectations for ourselves.
5 Energizers:
- Record yourself coaching and listen back to it.
- If you’re not regularly receiving coaching, give yourself the gift of a few coaching sessions over the summer with your favorite coach.
- Attend the ICF Converge conference in Washington D.C., August 24th. We will be there and would love to meet you.
