Transformative Coaching with Neena Madhok

Do you have difficulty achieving your goals? Is there something that you have been trying to change that never seems to quite stick? If so, this podcast is for you. When we don’t stick to our resolutions or achieve our goals we can assume this is because we lack willpower or are weak, however the reasons can be very different. Once we understand what is really preventing us from getting there we can actually deal with what is holding us back and be free to achieve our desired goals.

Do you equate asking others for support as a sign of weakness? Do you feel that you need to be able to handle everything all on your own without needing anyone else? If so, this podcast is for you. We are social beings and exist within societies that provide us with the support to flourish. It is not always easy to ask for support when we need it both because it can bring up insecurities in us or go against the messages that we receive from others whilst growing up. Learn how to ask for support whilst still taking responsibility for your own life.

Sometimes we can miss each others needs. Do you ever find yourself needing emotional support without the other person trying to problem solve? Do you find it difficult to sit back and do nothing while someone you care about is in pain? If so, this podcast is for you. The podcast discusses the importance of understanding and expressing your needs without expecting other people to be able to guess. It examines how to hold back from problem solving, and instead offer emotional support trusting that the person can solve their problem themselves when they choose.

Emotions have a powerful influence on every aspect of our lives from how well we do at work to how we relate to other people. Understanding your own emotions means that you can identify what is really driving you, and you can address your own needs to make powerful changes in your life.

Do you equate being busy to being successful? Are you constantly on the go, never pausing to take a moment out? If so, this podcast is for you. Hear about the ways in which being busy can prevent you from achieving your goals, being successful and happy. Pick up tips on how to balance things in your life to life fully.

Acceptance has become a trendy word in self development...accept your situation and make peace with it to go on, accept the things that you cannot change. Acceptance can be powerful, but it can be difficult to know what to face and accept to really being able to be happier and move forward. This podcast discusses how to bring acceptance into our lives without becoming passive individuals drifting in currents and waves from our environment. It focuses on the importance of accepting our emotions without trying to change them, and provides handy practical tips on how to do this effectively.

Fixed vs growth mindsets. To develop new skills it is important to allow yourself to be imperfect. Rather than saying e.g. “I am not a creative person” consider “I cannot draw at the moment in the way that I would like to, but I can learn and take steps towards it”, this will give you the space and freedom to develop in a new area without fear and expectation paralysing you.

Letting go of the thought that our resources are scarce enables us to life more freely, and take decisions less fearfully.

When we feel sadness, or the threat of sadness, our instinct is often to suppress the emotion, avoid it, distract ourselves. Do anything not to be sad. This does not give us the opportunity to process the emotion and truly get over it, instead it is suppressed and ends up affecting us in other ways...we may get feel fatigued, or find it hard to connect with others, we may become disconnected with ourselves. In this podcast we discuss how sadness can be processed in an effective manner to able us to live life fully.

What is reality? We all interpret the world around us based on our perception of what we see, coloured by our own filters. Learn how this impacts your behaviour and what you can do to adjust your experience of the world.

Do you sometimes have a niggling feeling that you are not capable of doing the job that you were hired to do? Do you feel like an imposter at work? The good news is you are not alone, and there are ways to help yourself feel more confident inside to free yourself up to be able to do your best. This is what today’s podcast is all about.

We interact with all kinds of people each day. Some of them energise us and then there are others who drain our energy. To be happy it is important to surround ourselves with people who energise us and to limit the time or nature of the interaction with those who are draining to us.

Our bodies have incredible defence mechanisms which protect us from physical, psychological and emotional harm. Although these layers of protection are incredibly valuable they can also create barriers between us an other people, causing damage to relationships and contributing to us feeling alone. This podcast discussions how to build closer relationships with people whilst protecting ourselves.

Learn about the secret way in which our own behaviour reinforces negative (and positive) thoughts that we have about other people. If you have been dealing with behaviour in others that you dislike then this podcast is for you. Learn how to behave in a way that is true for you irrespective of how other people around you behave.

Assumptions are necessary in our every day lives, but they sometimes lead us to the wrong conclusions. Many of us make unnecessary assumptions in relationships which can be very damaging.

Would you like to have a greater sense of self worth? Do you find yourself wishing that you were better, more attractive, more successful? If so this podcast is for you. Many of us seldom feel that we are worth enough just as we are, flaws and all.
