Automatic negative thoughts can come up and slow down our progress toward contributing to collective change. When I coach clients (and myself!) - I support them to distinguish the labels they're putting on themselves. Then, I guide them to take a step back and separate from the thought - sure it exists in our minds, but what if we didn’t take full ownership? What if we imagined some little gremlin on our shoulder saying it to us instead?

Two weeks ago I resigned from my full-time job to pursue the thing that most centers me, fills me with gratitude, and connects me to a sense of purpose: coaching change agents driven to make their positive impact on the world and who are ready to grow themselves to grow their impact!
