Life, Mastered with Molly Claire

To have Life Mastery, sometimes you need to slow down to go fast. You need room to breathe. You need to possess comprehensive knowledge -- that is, a completeness -- of yourself. But knowing yourself and implementing change doesn’t happen all at once. There is a learning curve, a progression, a continuation of growth toward what you want. In today’s episode, I pose three questions designed to help you connect with yourself. This will bring you more clarity. Then, when more clarity is achieved, your mind is ready for positive progression in your life and business. And when you better understand yourself, your business, your clients, and your personal life can all thrive. What You’ll Learn Life Mastery - Know Yourself How well do you know yourself? Describe yourself: in relation to others; what you do; what you love How you shine through the characteristics that are you Pro tip: Find what you love and do more of that How well do you care for yourself? Don’t beat yourself up -- offer yourself a place of positive non-judgment How to avoid extremes: steps to implement small changes to support yourself better How to establish a new habit and check in with yourself How well and how often do you focus on your future self? Connect with your future self to bring her into existence Be okay with inevitable learning curves Revel in those magical moments of Life Mastery Contact Info and Recommended Resources Work with me! mollyclaire.com/coaching

If you struggle with confidence or competence as a coach, it can feel like your dream business won’t succeed. But it’s really not a problem to have some feelings of uncertainty. Your self-assurance can always be improved. Just the act of engaging in bettering yourself and your business proves you have some level of confidence. You need only to build on that. When it comes to competence, it’s no different. You can build your knowledge. You can improve your skills.  But how do you know if you’ve got too much of one and not enough of the other? Somewhere in the midst of mixing confidence and competence, lies the ‘magic sauce’ of coaching everyone wants. In this episode, I discuss this necessary -- and achievable -- balance.   What You’ll Learn Confidence -- your level of self-assurance Self-worth: Recognizing what you believe your inherent value is (and where it comes from) Self-esteem: Admitting what you believe others think about you (and how much you’re relying on that) Self-confidence: Identifying your assurance in your abilities and capabilities (and where you feel less sure) How to take stock and use your stronger areas to both improve your weaker ones and grow your business Competence -- your level of skills, knowledge and expertise Driven by confidence, determination and commitment Approach 1: Fake it ‘til you make it -- jumps right in, relying on confidence Approach 2: Perfection delay -- holding back indefinitely Approach 3: Building and working where you are -- while increasing your skills Identify specific areas you need to master and areas you’ve already mastered The ‘Magic Sauce’ of mixing confidence and competence How each propels you forward in boldness toward the other How to improve each quality using specific actions How to step into belief Contact Info and Recommended Resources Aimee Gianni, M.S. -- Master Coach and Co-Founder with me of The Coaching Collective.

As you sort through what you’re learning and you build your coaching business, it can be overwhelming. But learning the Three Pillars of Mastery brings immense clarity. You can lean on the strength of knowing and applying them to help eliminate self-doubt and frustration. In this episode, I touch on each of the pillars (aka buckets) to help you start properly separating issues. This aids in stemming what I call “bleed over”. That’s when a difficulty in one area of your business seeps over into another area. This bleed over fuels insecurities and stifles you -- both in business and in your personal life. But knowing the three pillars empowers you to drop issues into the correct bucket, keeping them where they belong. What You’ll Learn Pillar #1: Coaching Mastery -- always mastering, always improving Your skill set and competence; avoiding the limits of perfectionism Confidence in your skills and ability; avoiding the limits of insecurities Demonstrating excellence in already learned skills and in being open to new skills How to have a referral-based business Pillar #2: Life Mastery -- having vision while moving your business forward Knowing how grounded you are in the life you want Getting clarity on how your business fits into your life How to avoid becoming a slave to your business Putting values and priorities in place to strengthen your staying power Pillar #3: Business Mastery -- showing up and committing to your end goal Honing your skills and navigating the sometimes bumpy learning process Grounding in integrity and congruence; aligning with you, your values, and your desired contribution to the world Acknowledging that even experts don’t always know the best path for your business -- you do Contact Info and Recommended Resources Work with me! mollyclaire.com/coaching

What you do as a coach matters. Let that sink in a moment... Your coaching is meaningful. Powerful. Your input changes the very trajectory of people’s lives. Your success, both in your business and in your internal life, has the ability to help create limitless, amazing, masterful quality of life for yourself and for others. But what if your coaching feels stuck? Stifled? A bit shaky? Take heart, Coach. I’m here to come alongside you. To offer what I’ve learned and applied in hopes that it helps you, too. In this premiere episode of The Masterful Coach, I share my own story and the journey I took in my coaching business -- and my life. It really all started with three anchoring keys... What You’ll Learn Anchor Key #1: Anchoring your powerful WHY Dealing with fears, doubts and insecurities Don’t just identify your why -- solidify it with clear end goals Making your WHY into a “no matter what” Anchor Key #2: Anchoring yourself in your BELIEF Rooting out deeply hidden limiting beliefs through aha moments Grab ahold of whatever it is you want to BELIEVE but think you can’t get Stepping into what you want to believe before you see it Anchor Key #3: Anchoring yourself in YOU Seeking expert advice, guidance and wisdom and properly applying it Realize experts aren’t necessarily expert in what is best for YOU Listening to your gut Contact Info and Recommended Resources Work with me! mollyclaire.com/coaching
