What is Mindset Coaching

Mindset coaching is about helping people shift from self-doubt, limiting beliefs and sometimes self-sabotaging mindset to a positive and growth-focused outlook on life. It’s like having a partner who guides you in changing negative thought patterns into positive ones. This coaching encourages you to face challenges, learn from failures, and become more adaptable.

In mindset coaching, you work together with a coach to recognize when you’re holding yourself back and learn to step out of your comfort zone. It’s not just about achieving goals; it’s about transforming how you see yourself and your abilities. By embracing mindset coaching, you can boost your confidence, handle challenges better, and develop a more resilient and optimistic approach to whatever life throws your way.

Some common areas where minset coaching can help:

Feeling of limitation due to not being good at something, perceived low level of ability or intelligence
Difficulty in making decisions
Unable to get started with something or take action
Fear or resistance
Self-sabotage or procrastination
Negative self-talk or limiting thinking and beliefs
Stress, overwhelm, anxiety, obsessive thinking or feeling out of control with life

Testimonials

I’ve found Ola a very psychologically safe person to communicate with, which is foundational for any sort of coaching relationship. Ola is widely read and because of this chatting with him has always been fascinating – there are always new angles to look at life from and new directions to put your energies into. When you expand the information you’ve got, the way you look at business and life will change and I’ve found Ola a great person to help do that, as well as just generally putting everything into perspective in a holistic way. Would recommend!

“Put a ladder in front of you and you’re inclined to climb it”. That’s what my career felt like at the time. I was trying to go to the “next step” without really understanding why. Ola provided a fresh perspective on what’s important in life, with work-life balance and helped me progress while not forgetting what really matters. We were able to bond not only in a professional settings but also outside of work. He’s well-read, passionate and always has my best interest in mind.

What to Expect

So, what results would you expect from working with me!?

I’ll take you through a completely individualised coaching program depending on what you want to focus on, and help you reach your goals. Depending on your focus area we’ll go through a number of activities and I’ll listen, guide, give advice where appropriate and ultimately you’ll walk away with a much better outlook on your mental state/career/relationships or other area. We can do one off coaching sessions, or a program of 2-3 months depending on your needs.

I will use my life experience and coaching training combined with elements of REBT (Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy) and other tools/techniques to support you in your journey.

Disclaimer: I am not a psychologist, so I can only use these techniques for coaching purposes to help with overcoming limiting beliefs and for you to reach personal goals. If you are suffering with a mental disorder, a registered psychologist will be required to help you.

Here are some steps we would normally go through together, timing and content will be unique for each client:

Initial catchup to get to know each other, to hear about your background, your current situation, hopes and dreams
Identify one or more problem areas. There are 13 common problem areas where certain thinking, underlying beliefs or behaviours can hold you back.
Identify goals for individual coaching sessions and the whole coaching relationship
Background information and teaching about the mind. We look at irrational vs. rational thinking, emotional disturbances and other relevant areas to your specific problem area.
Going over what you can expect from me, and what I expect from you to get the best results possible
Providing of accountability and support. I would check in on you between our coaching sessions, track progress, celebrate when you have breakthroughs and wins and always provide constructive and motivating feedback
