Coaching

Space

Do you get caught up in the noise and activity of the day and start working almost on autopilot ?

Space is about stepping away from the work environment and allowing yourself time to free up your mind to reflect.

Already working long hours and don’t feel you have time for this?

Think again.

Reflecting on what’s giving you energy and what’s draining you can save you lots of time.

Explore

All too quickly, our mind convinces is that we’re in an either/or situation but more often than not, that’s not the case.

Explore is about finding option C, D, E and F and maybe even mixing it up.

Could option C work with part of option F ?

Learn

If an image of a classroom has just popped into your head, or a pile of textbooks, then time to reset.

Learn, as part of my coaching, is about self-awareness and evaluating.

It’s understanding what’s causing you frustration and stress, or why you’re not able to focus on what really matters.

Flourish

How many times have you attended a course where you were inspired and energised but before long had forgotten all the learnings and were back to old habits and routines?

Flourish is about taking the time to consider next steps, to plan how to convert intentions into actions and to create your own roadmap.

Positive Intelligence

Positive Intelligence is the title of the book by Shirzad Chamine in which he explains how you can train your brain to overcome the thoughts that are sabotaging your happiness and success

Your mind is your best friend. but it can also be your worst enemy.

When it’s not working for you, you’ve allowed the saboteurs to take control.

As a certified PQ Positive Intelligence Coach, I can guide you through the 6 week Mental Fitness programme (an app based training based on Positive Intelligence, developed by Shirzad)

You learn to identify the negative behaviour of your saboteurs and are taught ways to quieten these saboteurs, so that you can shift the balance of power from them to your inner Sage ( your positive self).

"I started Coaching with Lindsey as I was transitioning into a new role. Each session opened my mind to new ways of dealing with the changes I was experiencing and the new team I was managing. The lessons I have learned will stay with me and I am also passing them on to colleagues. Lindsey has a wealth of knowledge and is a very patient coach. I fully recommend and sure I will be back for further sessions."
CEO– Islington Mind
“Thank you for the coaching sessions in the last year. As a mental health specialist charity, the last couple of years – since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, were especially complex, and being a new CEO didn’t make the journey to finding solutions to extra challenging circumstances easier. The coaching sessions provided a space to look at challenges, self-reflect on my approach and develop my leadership style.”‘
Michelle Bromley– Co founder at Evolving Sound Ltd
“The 6 week mental fitness journey has been a truly enlightening experience. Before I started the PQ programme, I was unsure exactly what practical benefits it would bring to my working life. Having completed it, I can honestly say that the benefits extend well beyond my role at work, to almost all aspects of my life. The programme and each coach challenge slotted very easily into my working day. Each weekly task was informative, interesting, and practical. In learning how to anticipate and identify my chief saboteurs, I’m able to minimise their disruptive effects and now have a much more positive, creative, and empathetic approach towards myself, my work and others. Thank you so much Lindsey for your invaluable help and guidance throughout this journey! “

“What I found valuable in the Mental Fitness program was identifying my saboteurs and learning to be in better control of them. I hadn’t realised how much stress their sabotage work had caused over the years! The whole process of empowering one’s Sage makes so much sense, and Shirzad’s calm and repetitive method of coaching you every single day in the app certainly helps build good habits which will stay part of my daily routine now forever.  Lindsey’s gentle guidance and nudging during our weekly Pod Discussions was important, not only because it helped me in my understanding of the 6-week journey but also gave me the ability to form good habits in PQ repping after the program finished.”
Anne Owen– Billing & CRM Manager at Dryden ICS SA
“Lindsey introduced me to the Positive Intelligence 6-week mental fitness program which I found to be an extremely valuable experience. It’s made a real difference in how I perceive things both in my personal & professional life. Staying mindful of potential “saboteurs” & focusing on positive outcomes promotes a healthy outlook. Throughout the 6 weeks, Lindsey was always available, if needed, for guidance & open to share her own experiences in a friendly manner, which made the program even more enjoyable. What I most appreciated about working with Lindsey was her enthusiasm & professionalism. Highly recommend!”
Jacqui Venables
“I really enjoyed the 6 week Mental Fitness program and learning how to identify my judge, sage and saboteurs. All the techniques suggested to best manage them were clearly explained and very accessible, even with a busy schedule. What I most appreciated about the work with Lindsey was her knowledgeable, supportive and organised approach.  I have noticed a huge improvement in my capacity for empathy towards myself and others and by incorporating PQ reps into my daily practice I can now deal with stressful situations much more effectively.”
Niels Gerritsen– Facilities Manager at Base Clear BV
“A colleague of mine introduced me to Lindsey and the 6 week PQ Mental Fitness program. It has been a very valuable and positive experience. In the beginning I did not know what to expect but hoped it was pragmatic, and luckily it was. The PQ operating system is relevant for many applications and was easy to adopt in my daily personal and professional life. Lindsey guided me with her enthusiasm through the 6 week program and from day one I experienced growth by identifying my own saboteurs and calling on my sage. Overall it was a very positive and pragmatic experience which opened a new chapter for me. I’m very grateful and can highly recommend Lindsey. Thank you so much Lindsey.”
Ian Gronbech– Director Greenstream Consulting BV
” I worked with Lindsey while setting up a new business venture. During this hectic period, Lindsey helped me to adjust my schedule to ensure the correct mix of operational activities and taking time to focus on the end Vision of the venture and on mapping out the detailed steps to achieving that Vision. This focus on the goal helped to boost my energy- levels when the hours were long or when setbacks occurred. I appreciate Lindsey’s relaxed style, making it easy to discuss not only work issues, but also helping me to learn about the psychology of sources and drains of energy and how to plan to have more energy through small changes in my daily habits. For me as an independent Business-owner, Lindsey was a valuable sounding board to discuss business plans, drawing on her financial and corporate experience to provide a critical challenge to ideas. This has certainly helped clarify the path forward for my business.”
