It all feels pretty competitive right now. The stakes are high and pressure around us is being ramped up from every direction. It’s got me thinking about the Awards I gave myself whilst working in the corporate environment- the same Awards I regularly see held high by clients today.

🏆I Can Take On More Work Than My Colleagues - Oscar
🥇Checking My Emails On A Sunday Night So I’m Ahead Of The Game - Gold Medal
🎗️Most Hours Worked - Lifetime Achievement
🎭I Can Do Everything Myself - Martyr Level
🎉A Holiday Is All I Need - Genius

Sounds familiar? They quite probably feel like uncomfortable awards and chances are they’re gathering a lot of dust. Whilst our environment so often drives us to present ourselves with such awards - and there are many to be won - they generally spell misalignment and burnout becomes inevitable.

There’s real science behind the patterns of behaviour that lead us to awards that don’t serve us. It’s one of the most rewarding pieces of coaching that I offer to clients. Being able to support clients in handing back the awards that quite literally drain them and choose shiny new awards that deserve an encore is simply the best! 🎉

If you’re ready to hand back the awards that no longer serve you, let’s have a chat, no pressure from me 🤗

My fellow Positive Psychology Coach Flis has got it spot on! 💫

Organisations have strategies, targets and deadlines. But none of those ever deliver anything.

People do.

And yet, the skills we use most at work - listening, understanding, communicating, reading the room - are not taught to us in school. We’re all making them up as we go along!

Every single day we navigate conversations with a worried colleague, a frustrated customer or a team member who says, “I’m fine” and clearly isn’t.

We don’t solve these with spreadsheets. We solve them with humanity.

At Art of Brilliance, we believe something simple: we don’t need to become someone new at work, we need permission to be more of who we already are.

And that doesn’t start with grand gestures, just better conversations.

Empathy isn’t complicated, it’s often just a better opening line. After reading Brené Brown’s Strong Ground, a few phrases really stood out, because they quietly change the tone of a conversation:

Tell me more…

I’m curious about…

What does support look like for you right now?

The story I’m telling myself is… have I got that right?

None of these fix the problem instantly, but they do something powerful - they make people feel seen. And when people feel seen, they think better, collaborate better and cope better.

So perhaps empathy isn’t soft. Perhaps it’s the most practical workplace skill we have. Because if you change the conversation, you change the culture.

If you’d like to explore how this looks in practice, come and talk to us. We’re always up for a conversation worth having.

When I meet clients for Positive Psychology Coaching for the first time they generally know that something doesn’t quite feel right. They’re unbalanced, out of kilter, misaligned. It’s quite often not just a feeling - they’re unwell, quite literally sick and tired.

A nervous system that’s dysregulated cancels out positive emotion leaving them feeling glum and not functioning at their best.

Positive Psychology Coaching is about moving clients into best self territory using human centric tools and techniques, backed by science.

We look at what’s right, what’s working, what fosters psychological safety and brings joy to everyday lives.

Clients discover their strengths and values - the foundations to their real authentic selves, learning how to use them with presence each day.

Working together we look at what brings core meaning to their lives, what really drives them. This helps clients to discover what their personal purpose is, where their passions lie, often identifying their true vocation, not what was expected of them by others.

We look at relationships - the ones that drain clients and the ones that fill them with energy and joy.

Clients safely lean into their accomplishments, the relationships, achievements and values they’re really proud of.

And then the work really begins and we dig deep…

If you’re curious and would like to learn more I’d love to hear from you!

It happened this morning. That feeling of unease, anxiety, triangles chiming in my stomach. Changes are afoot and I was anticipating what may be on the horizon. Warning shots had been fired at me. I recognised that out of fear - on came my ugly armour- the Persecutor of Others mask - it wasn’t my fault I was feeling this way, it was ‘theirs’. Not a second of it felt comfortable.

At this point I took a pause to breathe and say a thank you to Angela Cox at PASEDA360® COACH TRAINING ACADEMY for bringing the masks we wear into my world. I’m still learning about myself but understanding how the masks we wear operate and why we wear them is life changing - and saves an awful lot of angst, I’m hoping it makes me a better person to be around too.

I realised what I was fearing hasn’t actually happened yet and my mindset is just that - all mine!! I was living in the future and blaming others for how I felt. My grounding is always to go out for a walk so at lunchtime off I went - chuntering away to myself - Persecutor of Others in full flow. I took in my surroundings, using every one of my senses with gratitude. I came across these daffodils. I understood then the lesson I had been given. I could choose to ruminate and blame others, just waiting for ‘it’ to happen. Or I could choose to flourish and bloom right now, and just be me! The mask is firmly back in the box. My circumstances haven’t changed but my mindset certainly has.

If this resonates with you, let’s have a chat, Positive Psychology Coaching could well be just what you need 💐🌹🌷🌼🌸🌻

Do I always feel confident? ❌
Do I always feel worthy? ❌
Do I feel like an imposter in certain circles? ✅
Do I doubt my capabilities? ✅

It happens…to every single one of us

Learning to really listen to my body and how it feels is a skill I wish I’d have learned years ago.

I try to keep it simple - if I feel any anxiety or uncertainty - I pause - no decisions, no actions just breathe. Open ended time scale here, it could be seconds, minutes, hours, days…

If I feel comfortable, relaxed - in flow - that’s when clarity, growth and a whole heap of fun flourishes. Time passes without a thought. Decisions are not only made, they’re built on and launched into action.

I’m kind of hoping this becomes an Olympic sport because I’m loving practicing it and I’m spending a very welcome chunk of my life flourishing. It’s quite a technique but so simple, nothing fancy and it works!

My clients are really benefiting too, shifting mindset, imagine a world of flourishers 🥰

If you’d like to flourish too I’d love to hear from you
