I was coming out of 2021 with the thought that I probably wouldn’t do any coaching this year and instead revisit the coaching lessons I had from last year. I had a full journal of lessons with so little implementation. But thankfully, I saw the e-flier again when I was looking to splurge on hair products. I am so grateful I took that pause. The ‘accountability’ on the e-flier sold me. Weeks of sessions and updates on progress for the rest of the year seemed like a good deal to me, so I jumped on the train.

The call sessions were superb, highlighting things I had already known but in smaller, more relatable pieces that I could connect with and turn into action plans. In one of those calls, Liza mentioned, “If you are in the room, you deserve to be in the room.” This was profound for me, as the ultimate goal is to wow myself this year. One of the ways I want to do that is by making big moves that will place me in powerful rooms. I know I’ll remember this for a long time. And this was just rounding off the session, so you can imagine how profound the call itself was.

I also got to know myself better and connect the dots backwards during the personal session, where I received reports on my priority and procrastination assessment. I understood my own frameworks more clearly and could identify areas for improvement and change. This was so helpful in being able to describe myself and understand my own thought processes.

In reviewing my goals for last year and setting new ones in January, these coaching sessions helped me realise the importance of details. I could see that some goals had gone unmet because I hadn’t prepared for the requirements needed to achieve them, or I hadn’t understood the consequences of not completing them. I was able to look more closely at what success looked like for me, and this is so important.

I also appreciated when Liza shared some of her growth processes. They were like daily reminders to get to work on my own goals as well. This was important to me as I could see that I too could push through and accomplish my goals. I liked that she wasn’t just telling us about the completed journey she’d taken, but also the daily steps, struggles, and how she overcame them.

There was absolutely no pressure to grow, just encouragement to keep at it!
