You're facing a day of non-stop coaching sessions. How can you stay focused and energized throughout?

Acredito que a preparação é a base para um dia com muitas sessões de coaching. Eu costumo preparar tudo na segunda-feira pela manhã, assim consigo manter os atendimentos da semana toda organizados, prontos para serem executados, ajuda muito.

It is crucial to fill your cup first :) I personally do things that help me elevate my energy level and boost my confidence. It includes prayers, meditation, powerful positive affirmations, healthy eating and working out. Just find what works best for you. You can't serve your clients properly unless you serve yourself first :)

A.M. & P.M. bookends. The most control we have over our lives are the hours when we arise as well as when we are getting ready to go to sleep. By setting your schedule on autopilot, you don't have to expend precious, finite energy thinking about what to do next. It's already been decided for you--just follow the plan you made for yourself REGARDLESS of whether you feel like it or not.

Healthy Breakfast: Start your day with a nutritious breakfast that includes protein, whole grains, and fruits. This will provide sustained energy and improve concentration. Mental Preparation: Spend a few minutes meditating or practicing mindfulness to set a positive tone for the day. Visualization techniques can also help you mentally prepare for each session. Review Schedule: Go over your schedule to familiarize yourself with the day's agenda. Make note of any special requirements or goals for each session.

Na minha rotina eu sempre deixo 30 minutos entre os atendimentos, é um tempo para levantar, tomar uma água, ir ao banheiro e fazer um lanche, além de desconectar de um atendimento para se energizar para o próximo.

How about starting with planning your coaching sessions. A day of coaching is intense so ensure you are not taking on too much! Space out the our sessions so there is enough time to break properly between sessions, move and clear your head. Remember you can only help your clients if you are operating at 100%

Microbreaks. Take 200-300 seconds to do nothing but breathe. Go outside for 3 minutes and hit the mental reset button. Zoom out and identify from the moment you get up until the moment you go to bed, how do you want to use your time?

Schedule Breaks: Ensure you have short breaks between sessions to rest and recharge. Use these breaks to stretch, walk around, or practice deep breathing exercises. Prioritize Tasks: Focus on the most critical aspects of each coaching session. Avoid getting sidetracked by minor issues to stay on track. Delegate: If possible, delegate tasks that don’t require your immediate attention. This can help you focus more on the coaching sessions without worrying about other responsibilities.

Acredito que a hidratação é fundamental em todos os dias, é uma base para você sentir-se bem, com bom raciocínio e saudável. Ou seja, é indispensável.

Regular Water Intake: Keep a water bottle with you and take regular sips throughout the day. Staying hydrated helps maintain energy levels and cognitive function. Healthy Snacks: Have healthy snacks like nuts, fruits, or yogurt handy. These can provide quick energy boosts and prevent fatigue. Limit Caffeine: While a cup of coffee or tea can be beneficial, avoid excessive caffeine intake as it can lead to energy crashes later in the day.

No inicio da minha carreira de coach confesso que cada sessão me roubava muita energia, ter que ficar atendo 100% do tempo, ler as entrelinhas e ao mesmo tempo montar perguntas poderosas era muito cansativo. Porém hoje, 4 anos após e mais de 2000 horas de atendimento é o contrário, as sessões me dão energia, fico cansado como todo mundo, mas o sentimento de estar fazendo o que ama e ver os clientes alcançando resultados dá um animo a mais.

A alimentação durante o dia impacta diretamente a minha energia, por essa razão busco sempre comer limpo e entre as sessões ter snacks que vão me ajudar, junto com a água é claro.

What type of mindset do you have when entering a coaching conversation? Are you championing yourself + your client before the call starts? Are you asking them what wins they can celebrate before they talk about their issues/challenges? Are you positioning yourself as a listener to listen, or a listener to respond?

Mindset not only matters, mindset is key ! I personally maintain a positive mindset throughout the day by reading positive affirmations out loud and looking at my vision board, and remembering my WHY.
