I spotted a post from Lauren Iles Life Coaching looking for people to work with in exchange for promotion on their blogs and I jumped at the chance for Emma And 3 and I to work on our plans for Top Blog Coaching. We had such a clear vision at the start and know exactly where we want to take the business but the events of the last year have really changed our goals and outlooks as individuals and so we wanted a little help to reconnect and restructure our business plan. It’s been particularly tough for us as we are both so motivated by time in each others company and so to lose that time has been quite difficult for both of us.
Our first session with Lauren and neither of us really knew what to expect. We had had business coaching before which had been very useful and had really focused on the technical aspects of building a business and creating but as Lauren does life coaching, her approach is more holistic and about us as people. Our first challenge was to draw our currently reality, something that Emma wasn’t hugely excited about as she doesn’t enjoy drawing so much but it’s about accessing a different part of the brain. Lauren’s manner is very calm and gentle and we both liked her immediately. She explained what the idea was and how she works and we began by looking at the pictures we had both drawn and exploring into them. It was so interesting to see where we were both at and it really helped us to understand what our visions are. Lauren decided the best course of action would be to have an individual session with us both and then come back together for a final one. I really enjoyed my session, and it was so helpful for me to see where I am in my life at the moment, having just been diagnosed with ADHD at 37 which has had a massive impact on both my outlook and my work life.
Once she had seen us both individually, we returned together for a final life coaching session and Lauren really helped us to communicate openly and honestly with each other, something we don’t usually have a problem with anyway but lack of actual face to face, the screen time barrier and both of our families being around most of the time has meant that it hasn’t been so easy to just have that time to talk lately. It was so helpful for us to have Lauren guiding us through, we were so impressed that we have both continued with paid for individual sessions and will also have some more sessions as a duo for Top Blog Coaching planned as it really is brilliant to have someone impartial to bounce ideas off, to help us to look at things in a different way and to better understand ourselves. She also helps you to make a plan to move forward.
I would hugely recommend Lauren to anyone who is looking for a bit of extra support in life, be it personally, for business, to cope with a change or just to have a fresh, unbiased set of eyes on things. You work out what your goal is, what the obstructions are and then come up with a plan together to make it happen. I’m so excited for my next life coaching sessions with Lauren.
