Listen "Accessing our Inner Mentor"
Episode Synopsis
Do you truly believe that you have what it takes to succeed? Or do you find yourself held back by self doubt? Too often, we don't trust ourselves enough to make the big power moves or decisions that will move the needle in our businesses. You may believe that you’re too inexperienced or that you don’t have the skills necessary to take your best next steps or attract your dream clients. It’s really easy to fall victim to feelings of imposter syndrome! But as I tell my coaching clients and community, you already have all the best answers inside of you — all you need to do is learn how to access your inner mentor.Your inner mentor is a version of yourself that is further ahead, more experienced, and has the insights that you need to take your business to the next level. While this concept may sound a little woo-woo or magical, it reflects the very foundation of good coaching work. The best coaches don’t just offer you answers and instructions, they help you tap into and trust your own knowledge and intuition!This episode of The Business of Thinking Big draws on the concept of the inner mentor developed by Tara Mohr in her book Playing Big: Practical Wisdom for Women Who Want to Speak Up, Create, and Lead. If you love this episode, I definitely recommend buying her book!Listen now to discover:A powerful exercise that will help you begin to access your own inner mentor What it means to grow from beginner to intermediate to advanced — and the role that inner knowing plays in these transformationsThe big difference between consulting and coaching (and what good coaching really looks like!)Timestamps:00:33 Intro03:00 Coaching v. consulting04:55 Inner knowing & resilience08:07 A-Players & the start of the journey09:35 Access your inner mentor15:11 Get quiet with yourself17:07 Beginner to intermediate growth20:37 Recap & the inner critic23:36 ConclusionLinks mentioned:Playing Big: Practical Wisdom for Women Who Want to Speak Up, Create, and Lead by Tara Mohrhttps://www.amazon.ca/Playing-Big-Practical-Wisdom-Create/dp/1592409601/ref=sr_1_1?hvadid=671308574791&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9000927&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=8104546947546283624&hvtargid=kwd-301143419418&hydadcr=22459_13497880&keywords=playing+big+by+tara+mohr&qid=1701970838&sr=8-1 A-Players Rapid Impact Business Coaching Experiencehttps://www.mamasandco.com/groupcoaching—Learn with me: Mamapreneur Success Path - Free Audio TrainingConnect with me:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/liannekimcoachInstagram: @liannekimcoachJoin the Mamas & Co. community to get access to valuable — Connect with me: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/liannekimcoach Instagram: @liannekimcoach Join the Mamas & Co. community to get access to valuable resources and the support of likeminded mompreneurs and mentors: https://www.mamasandco.com Instagram: @mamasandco Podcasting support: https://theultimatecreative.com
