Our individual coaching sessions will focus on how you can maximise your strengths as an introvert to reach your full potential.
During these sessions, we will listen to you and ask questions to help you gain self-awareness and learn new behaviours that can transform your life. Our goals are many. Here are a few. To help embrace your unique strengths, such as empathy, active listening, emotional regulation and deep reflection. To help navigate social interactions more comfortably, use our coach’s psychological tools and techniques to equip yourself with valuable strategies to build meaningful connections and relationships. To help overcome the feeling of being overwhelmed by outside pressures, learn to set boundaries, establish expectations, and thus maintain healthy relationships with those around you.
The Process
During our complimentary discovery call, we will explore a coaching programme tailored to your needs or create a bespoke package unique to you.
As introversion coaches, we will work with you to understand your story, ensuring you feel heard as we focus on your coaching goals. From there, we can explore the mindset shifts you need to make and what you envision for your future. We will also address the gap between your current actions and your future aspirations.
Our one-hour sessions are conducted via Zoom, and by the end of our agreed time, you will have developed actionable steps to help you achieve a successful outcome.
Impactful Positive Client Outcomes
Several key factors consistently impact positive coaching outcomes; we embrace them in our coaching sessions.
Self-efficacy
The more confident clients feel about their ability to make a change, the more likely they are to implement their plans. The belief that you can accomplish your goals by using your skills and abilities (self-efficacy) leads clients to set more challenging goals and expend more effort in achieving them. Coaching has been shown to build clients’ self-efficacy by raising awareness, encouraging clients to take responsibility, and offering opportunities for positive feedback. So, we practice coaching that helps clients boost their confidence, which makes them more likely to implement their plans.
Range of tools and techniques used by our coaches
Our diverse professional toolkit enables our coaches to select the specific tools or techniques that best suit our clients’ needs. Regardless of the chosen approach, we are convinced it will be effective, and this belief appears to have a positive impact.
Working alliance
Beyond anything else, the working alliance seems to be the key to successful coaching. The working alliance consists of three aspects:
The first aspect is a clear and agreed-upon goal near the start of each session. This ensures that the conversation is focused on the matter at hand and that the coach and client have a shared understanding of the priorities.
The second aspect is an explicit and shared understanding of the process to ensure that the client understands what coaching is and how it works as it progresses. This includes sharing the values and purposes of coaching models, tools, or techniques.
The third aspect is a good relationship between the coach and client, specifically trust and commonality. The idea of psychological safety explains the strong link between trust levels and positive outcomes, which allows clients to show vulnerabilities and, therefore, explore their weaknesses and limitations. The coach and client’s commonality, which involves sharing similar attitudes, beliefs, and values, suggests positive outcomes. This is explained by humans’ tendency to identify and attract people like themselves.

What is introvert coaching?
Many introverts have been labelled all their lives with words such as ALOOF, AWKWARD, QUIET and UNFRIENDLY, to name just a few.
From childhood, many have been urged to be more extroverted by becoming more animated, outgoing and outrageous. Introversion is a healthy temperament, and you do not need to change the fundamentals of your identity as a deep thinker, creative thinker, and innovator. However, modern workplaces and society in general gravitate toward extroverts, whether through open-plan offices, distractions from smartphones, or constant meetings. The needs of introverts, such as the ability to construct boundaries to reduce external stimulation, are often ignored.
In today’s workplace, we emphasise the loudest employees in a meeting who present ideas and strategies and can easily speak to peers and management up to the top. Yet, despite introverts making up a significant proportion of the world’s population, workplaces and society’s preferences lean toward extroversion.
Introversion and extroversion are temperaments that sit on opposite sides of a spectrum. Introversion takes different forms, from individuals thriving in near solitude to those mixing alone time with socialisation. The introvert’s mental battery expends energy through being with others and recharging alone or with close friends and family. The extrovert experience is the reverse. Some introverts’ characteristics make them less likely to enjoy risk-taking or intense experiences such as loud noises and sounds, and they also take more time to retrieve information from long-term memory.
Why work with Mindfulness Coaching?
By allowing space for ideas to surface, taking longer pauses, and holding space, our clients may need to dig deeper to deepen their learning and forward their actions.
Deepening the learning.
Sharing the concept of introversion alone and allowing clients to explore it can lead to rewards and breakthroughs by clearly explaining who you are and why. We can work on areas such as inner criticism, overt criticism from others around us, shyness, imposter syndrome, or low self-confidence. We can also explore the stories you may tell yourself to deal with these experiences.
Forwarding the action.
Through introvert coaching, we will work hard together to find solutions that challenge and stretch you without fundamentally changing who you are. Self-awareness of whether you are inside or outside your comfort zone is an important part of forwarding the action. To reach your goals, you will need to temporarily step outside your comfort zone. Growth will occur here, but knowing in the present moment that you can always return to what makes you comfortable when you need self-care. We can work together during our coaching program to help clients become aware of their needs, understand that introversion is normal, and plan sufficient downtime.
