Deep dives
Recognizing the Importance of White Space
Kristen realizes the significance of creating white space in her schedule to avoid burnout. Despite being busy with numerous meetings and client sessions, she often feels the pressure to constantly do more. During the coaching session, she reflects on her past experiences in law, where her productivity was gauged by time increments, causing her to undervalue downtime. This session emphasizes the necessity of incorporating creative and reflective time into her busy life to ensure mental and emotional well-being.
Shifting from Reactivity to Proactivity
Kristen aims to move from a reactive mindset to a more proactive approach in her business operations. She acknowledges that her default tendency is to only act in response to deadlines, which undermines her ability to plan effectively. In this session, she discusses the need to set aside specific time for tasks ahead of their deadlines, ensuring her calendar reflects her priorities rather than just obligations. By blocking time for critical activities, she can foster a more balanced and intentional workflow.
Embracing Support and Delegation
A significant breakthrough occurs when Kristen discusses her struggle to accept help, revealing a pattern of resistance to delegation. She considers hiring a support coach to assist clients after they complete their initial programs, which would also provide her a testing ground for training others in her methods. This shift in thinking underlines the importance of allowing herself to receive support, which can enhance both her effectiveness and her clients' experiences. Embracing this collaborative approach not only alleviates her burden but enables her to focus on her core competencies.
Establishing a Structured Client Workflow
Kristen expresses the need to create a structured workflow for client management, including setting clear expiration dates for client packages. She recognizes that many past clients inquire about continued support, leading her to consider how to create an offering that aligns with both their needs and her availability. This discussion highlights the need for balancing client retention with ensuring she doesn't overcommit herself. Implementing a systematic approach could streamline her client interactions and enhance her ability to manage ongoing requests.
Aligning Actions with Intentionality
Kristen feels a strong desire to move to Nashville, recognizing that physically relocating may facilitate her growth both personally and professionally. By committing to a specific move date, she aims to align her actions with her long-term vision. This decision prompts her to prioritize purging her current living space, addressing clutter that symbolizes emotional and energetic stagnation. The conversation reflects the larger theme of ensuring that her life choices and professional goals are consistently aligned, pushing her closer to the life she desires.
