If ‘acceptance’ was the theme for 2021 – what’s next for 2022?

If ‘acceptance’ was the theme for 2021 – what’s next for 2022?

As we approach the end of 2021, it’s a time to reflect on the year, what it brought, what we learned from it and where we can go from here. The word that stands out for me for 2021 is ‘Acceptance’. We’ve all had to accept things this year that we haven’t wanted. Some just slightly annoying and others really hard to deal with. Whether it’s the little matter of remembering to scan into a ...

Business Communications Skills Tip – Words Have Power

How are your words shaping your world? The words we use impact not only those around us, but our own well-being and ability to deal with challenges. The current challenges many of us are facing in our Covid or post Covid world can be spoken about in numerous ways. Describing them as a ‘battle’ a ‘war’ or a ‘disaster’ impacts how we’ll approach and deal with what we’re facing. D...

Business Communications Skills – Tip – What is Important to You? Tasks or Relationships

What is important to you as we enter a new year? It can be so tempting to focus on the many 'tasks' we want to complete. Yet, the quality of our lives and careers are wholly linked to the quality of our relationships. So is our ability to complete the many tasks we have in our minds and on our lists. 2021 is likely to still be a challenging year of social distancing and working from...

The next version of me – Brian Grainger – Live More Life Coaching

"I loved working with Carole! She created a safe space for me to reveal a hidden unhelpful habit. I had been attaching great weight and meaning to every little decision in my life and this was holding me back in my personal life and in my business. After working with...

"I loved working with Carole! She created a safe space for me to reveal a hidden unhelpful habit. I had been attaching great weight and meaning to every little decision in my life and this was holding me back in my personal life and in my business. After working with Carole, I've changed perspective and have been releasing the perfectionism and the need to "get it right" ahead of time. I’m now testing, taking risks allowing myself to move (even fail) forward. Thank you Carole, for helping me get clear on my goals, for really listening deeply and for your insightful observations. I'm becoming the next version of me." Brian Grainger, Live More Life Coaching

"I think this is by far one of the best investments I have ever made. Carole guides me to think about the situations in a new perspective, find out the root cause, and help me find the solutions by myself. Carole gave me the support, guidance, tools and feedback, which is exactly what I need from a coach. I was in one of the toughest situations in my professional life, and without Carole’s help, I could not have managed it well and grow both professionally and personally from that experience"

"When Carole coaches she is with you 200%! She created a safe space for me to share and be really honest with myself. She listened, observed and helped me understand underlying issues. I learned useful techniques, but also that communicating well is a lot about what is going on mentally and physically. I’ve become more self-aware, I’m better at organising my thoughts about what I want to say, and feel more confident going into meetings knowing I’m on the right track and can speak confidently."

"If it hadn’t been for Carole’s coaching, I would have probably quit the role I had just been promoted to. I was doubting my abilities, and questioning whether I really deserved it. I loved having Carole as ‘my thinking partner’. I never felt judged and she helped me become more aware of negative internal conversations. I learned practical tools that helped me become more effective in my role and in life as a whole. It was great to get out of the office to do walk and talk sessions at the Hong Kong Harbour front! The space to move helped me think, breathe and be true to myself. Overall, I gained a huge amount of confidence. I stopped doubting myself and learned to accept what I couldn’t change. Importantly, I also learned self-compassion, which I believe literally saved me in terms of my health and well-being. It also paved the way for countless opportunities of personal and professional growth."
