Answers from Ursula Cullen, June Coach of the Month

PSG: How do you keep up the level of courage and energy necessary to meet your stretch goals?

Ursula: My level of courage comes from the fear of NOT doing something that I want to do. I believe in taking a leap into the unknown and sitting in (as I call it) the Fear Circle and then taking action in order to achieve my stretch goal. My energy comes from the passion for what I do and enjoying the process.

PSG: What have been your best ‘support systems’ in terms of keeping you motivated to continually learn and grow?

Ursula: For me it is surrounding myself with people who are like minded or are where I want to be in the future. I link in with them every so often to get “recharged”. People like that inspire me and teach me to grow and I learn from them. Also, my own coach is my own personal support system.

PSG: What can we do as coaches to honour our true selves in our coaching practice?

Ursula: This can be tough as sometimes it can be hard to truly honour ourselves whilst not upsetting our clients by our own truth in terms of what we might say. However, I think staying true to ourselves in our coaching practice for me personally is collaborating with clients I know I can bring value to because of who I am as a coach and as a person.

Bio: Ursula Cullen

Hello my name is Ursula and I am a Mindset Coach. I coach women on how to shift their minds to shrug off the feeling of not being good enough or the dreaded imposter syndrome whilst also changing how they see themselves. I am passionate about helping clients to live a more fulfilling and empowering life by helping to achieve goals and create the life they’ve always wanted to live. I also facilitate workshops on enhancing public speaking skills and stress reduction. I recently created a wellness event called RISE where I coach people (alongside wellness professionals) on how to cultivate a positive mindset and maintain it.
