1-1 coaching
The first conversation usually starts here…
Most people come to me when a lot more is resting on them.
"I've got the role. Now I want to walk into that boardroom and actually back my own decisions."
"We're at the point where the business either scales or it doesn't, and I want to know I'm doing everything I can."
"I know I should be more visible. Every time I go to put myself forward, I find a reason not to."
"The team's doubled and I'm still running things the way I did when there were five of us."
"Everyone thinks I've got it handled."
I hear things like that from people who are very good at what they do. What they want now is to be as good in the bigger role as they were in the last one, and to know that nothing in them is holding the business back.
And the higher you go, the more it matters. A hesitation nobody noticed when you were managing a small team shows up very quickly in a boardroom, or with fifty people waiting on you to decide.
What we're actually working with
What people bring me usually looks like a work problem, like second-guessing a decision in front of the board, or keeping quiet about work that deserves to be seen.
Underneath it there's nearly always something much older, a belief set early in life about whether they're good enough, or whether they really matter. It's different for every person, and it tends to show up in ways that make perfect sense at work, which is exactly why it's so hard to spot.
You can't really see it from the inside. Most people can tell me what they're doing and give me a good reason for it, but where it's coming from is out of view, because it was set long before they had any way of noticing.
Seeing it is what I do. I get underneath your blockages to the beliefs that are actually driving them. That's what we work on, because when that shifts, everything transforms with it.
What changes
People come to this at a threshold. A role they've just stepped into and want to be excellent in. A business they know can be considerably bigger than it is. Something they can see clearly and haven't been able to reach.
What's in the way is almost never capability. It's a pattern, set long before any of this, running underneath everything you do and quietly deciding how far you go.
When it releases, the limit goes with it. You move faster because you've stopped negotiating with yourself first. You back your own judgement. You ask for what the work is worth without it costing you anything. You take the opportunity you'd have found a reason to decline. You're present with the people you love, and you can stop without needing a reason.
Same ambition. A lot less in your way.
Client Appreciation
"From the outside everything was working. But I'd burned out once before and I could feel it happening again. During my work with Helena I learned where to draw a line, how to regulate when it kicked off, and we got at the patterns that were underneath it. Now I feel like I’ve got my life back again."
— Kassandra, VP Financial services
Knowing what's driving you is where it starts, and on its own it doesn't change much. The belief has to actually release, and it does that when your system feels safe enough to, which is why pushing tends to make it hold on harder.
So the work is built to make that release possible, and it does four things:
Finding the root – getting to the belief that's actually driving what's happening at work.
Releasing it – shifting it at the level it was set, so the behaviour built on top of it changes.
Building capacity – so a bigger role or a bigger business doesn't take more out of you to run.
Making it hold – so the change stands up when the pressure goes up.
I've trained in a lot of different methods, so I'm never trying to fit you into one of them. I use whatever will shift things for you at that point, and that can be very different from one session to the next.
How the change happens
“I fundamentally feel like a different person”
That was Chantal's, at the end of five months. What changed was her confidence, her belief in her own judgement, and how clear she was about what she wanted. It showed up in her work and in her relationships.
