Take Two Coaching

Take Two Coaching Creating breakthroughs that make work joyful. I empower professionals to escape their mid-career rut and achieve new heights through transformational coaching.

Helping you find purpose, shift your mindset, navigate change and build leadership skills for success in your career. When it comes to being stuck in a mid-life rut, I've been there, done that and now I want to share the tools and insights that actually work. For me, part of navigating the challenges of mid-career stagnation involved transitioning from a 25-year career in adult education (as a trainer and manager) into full-time coaching. I offer leadership coaching, executive coaching and life coaching as I empower anyone who feels they want more to actually achieve it. My coaching philosophy is simple: Success isn't a secret—it's all about unlocking and trusting your inner wisdom. Drawing on my quarter century of training experience, I've crafted a coaching style that taps into my clients' unique strengths. As bonus, I worked in management for years and bring a wealth of business wisdom to the table. I specialise in working with mid-career professionals, managers and leaders. These are people I know well, who in my previous career I designed professional programmes for, and who I helped to improve English communication and other soft skills. My career was in English Language Teaching (ELT) to adults, and I've lived and worked in six countries (and been part of projects that spanned even more!). As a result of all my moves, I've mastered adapting and succeeding in diverse global contexts. As a respected manager, trainer, and coach, I anchor myself in my core strengths of empathy, professionalism, and insight. My mission and my passion is to coach. I do it because I truly believe coaching can elevate lives. I found a coach myself at a time mid-career when I really needed help - and it totally helped me to empower my confidence and unlock my full potential, professionally and beyond.

In dark and difficult times it's easy to give in to fear. Freeze can be one way our mind tries to keep us safe.

This is what I was thinking as I was collaging away today: How it's so easy to get stuck in a vortex of worry and negativity. And that the very definition of resilience is moving ahead with optimism even through that noise. We can fortify the belief that better is possible, and that hope and love will serve us as protection.

Stuck in a mindset of fear and doubt? Not us!

You care so you think ahead. You run scenarios to try to protect future-you from regret and ruin. You try so hard not to get it wrong.

That isn’t weakness. It’s responsibility and self-preservation. No wonder decisions feel difficult...

BUT waiting for certainty is still a decision. Not taking action is still a choice.

And clarity often comes after movement - not before it.

At some point, getting it right means trusting yourself enough to get started. You've got this far by your own resource, and probably by making a few mistakes! You definitely have what you need to get further.

What I tell myself instead:

'I feel scared because I'm stretching.'

Growth of any kind never feels familiar. How can it? You've never done it before!

Your brain prefers familiar, so you've got to know that being scared of the unfamiliar is just part of the deal - there are ways to soothe your nervous system and embrace this feeling.

You have to embrace the fact that confidence never comes first, action does.

Need help to shift your mindset so you can grow and make the changes you want to? Get in touch to see how I can support you.

Hyperfocused on being perfect or never getting things wrong? That can lead to overlooking the most important data - what you are learning along the way (even - especially? - when things don't go to plan).

This focus on "getting it right" shows up as overthinking, struggling to start or finish things, avoiding being visible and difficulty relaxing.

The funny thing is, you don’t actually know your “right” is right until it’s been tested by reality.

Remember:
- Action gives you feedback.
- Experience gives you clarity.
Waiting for perfection or fearing not being right just delays both of these.

Where are you telling yourself the story that you have to be perfect?

Stuck on finding your career purpose or goals? Maybe it's not a specific role or position.

Maybe it's how you want to feel, who you want to serve, what skills you want to lose or how much you want to earn.

Want to explore these ideas with a trained professional? Book in for a free strategy session and we'll explore what purpose is for you - and how to reach it.

DM ke for deets or going to that link in bio!

Difficult conversation coming up at work?

Instead of planning everything you are going to say, or planning all the responses to what the other person might possibly say, try working on your listening strategy. Be present, use active listening skills like clarifying and summarising, and listen to learn and not respond - your conversation could be a revelation.

Coaching with me can help you develop better relationships at work, learn how to manage difficult people (including your boss) and become a better communicator. Reach out to book a free introductory session! Or follow the link in bio.

Here are three grounded, confidence-building questions you can throw back at that voice:

1. “What evidence do you actually have for that?”

2. “Is this my fear talking or a real problem I can solve?”

3. “Would I say this to someone I care about - and if not, why am I saying it to myself?”

Short, simple, and they put you back in charge.
