Listen "42. Creating Extraordinary Transformations Through Journaling with Kim Ades"
Episode Synopsis
Like most beginnings, the new year brings hope and opportunities to make things better. That is why this is the perfect time people make resolutions and plans for the rest of the year.
Yet sometimes, no matter how much effort we put into goal planning, it’s often the execution part that most people struggle with and ultimately fail at. And what keeps us from making our plans happen usually stems from our own minds.
In this episode, join Matt DiFrancesco and Kim Ades, President and CEO of Frame of Mind Coaching and The Journal That Talks Back, as they discuss how journaling helped her clients shift their mindsets, and why working on mindset, before anything else, is the key to achieving goals that lead to extraordinary success.
Kim talks about:
Why she decided to start her own coaching business
How her journaling methodology helped her become an effective coach
Why creating the proper mindset is the foundation to a client’s success
The value of re-organizing responsibilities
What is the “dump, dump, then dump the dump” process?
How “The Journal That Talks Back” works
Why she doesn’t do in-person or zoom coaching sessions
The first question you should ask yourself when you’re struggling with something
What is a great journaling prompt?
