When was the last time you agreed to do something, discovered it was going to be more challenging than you thought, but came to point where you just had to tell yourself: “I can do this!”

How can we address better those challenges where we feel the fear and do it anyway? Geoff is joined by career coach, adult educator and maths tutor Jenny Sharp.

Jenny shares her experience of discovering, honing, and using self-coaching techniques to manage stressful and demanding situations. In particular Jenny shares how she prepared for an upcoming (and particularly stressful) whole day event using the novel technique of a video diary to record her emotional journal throughout the experience. Jenny shares how she was able to see her emotional responses changing throughout the day, how her confidence grew, and the reassurance this has given her in facing other challenging situations.

Jenny goes on to explain how this technique has helped her clients, and how we can, with practice and some help from her to get started, use it ourselves

Jenny says: “It’s pretty obvious that we can’t have access to a coach every minute of our lives even if we wanted to. So I’ve found it’s really helpful to create a bank of techniques we can use to coach ourselves.”
