The secret to getting ahead in life, and its not what you think

May 11, 2018 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

Life

“I hate chin ups, but I want to do them.” she declared. “You’ve got to be super strong” I chirped in remembering the many times I tried. “That’s the added frustration,” she announced. “My trainer says I’ve got the strength now, and I know I’m strong.  What I don’t have is enough aggression.” Oh! This […]

How Goal Setting Can Be Done With Ease

January 19, 2018 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

goal setting

Effective goal setting isn’t always an easy thing to do….  And setting life goals can seem even more daunting and challenging. The last five years have been truly incredible for me.  I’ve experienced joys, and achieved more than I ever imagined, thanks to the goals I set for my life. I also believe there’s even […]

Why language is more important than you realise

Language

When people first come to me for coaching they’re often feeling like a passenger in their own life journey. Each day their precious time, energy and attention is gobbled away, leaving them in an exhausted heap.  They crawl to bed only to suffer through a restless sleep, before waking and beginning the dance all over again. They […]

Why my life hasn’t fallen into place and why yours won’t either

April 21, 2017 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

“I thought everything would’ve fallen into place by now, but instead it seems to be falling apart.” It was my messy kitchen confession.  Somewhere between the pasta sauce, breakfast cereal and dirty dishes I found clarity and honesty. And as my sister leaned across the bench I found the courage to share my truth. I’m […]

I thought I couldn’t change for 30 years and then found out its not true

August 5, 2016 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

change

I’m not good with change….. I’ve said this many times. And until a few years ago I believed it was true. I honestly thought that change was something I struggled with and I avoided making changes whenever possible. Over the years I’ve said no to jobs, moves, adventures and travel for fear of change. Which is why I’ve […]

How to love what you do

Karen Main

How can I find what I love to do….  It’s a question I’m often asked. My answer…    How can you love what you’re already doing? I’m not just talking about your job here.  How can you love all the moments in your day, even the ‘not so great’ ones. For a while now I’ve had a […]

The easiest way to begin when you’re ready for a change

March 10, 2016 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

Begin

When a coaching client sits with me for the first time they’ll often want to change their life and not know where to begin. So I help them begin…. I ask questions to get the conversation flowing. I listen.  I add structure and we progress from there. Each session I ask them to choose at least one […]
