Managing our secret burdens, obligations and duty better

Secret burdens…Obligation, duty and guilt have been coming up a lot this month in my executive, leadership and life coaching sessions.

Have you been close to burnout or at it - and asked for a break? Only to be told that the workloads are too heavy and that whilst we support you, you’ll have to keep working till deadlines have been met.

The intent is that we feel guilty about asking for a break because of our good nature and loyalty. And feel obligated to continue.

If you’ve been a victim to this situation don’t blame yourself.

This is ludicrous and sheer bad leadership on so many levels.

Pretending to be there for you 100% whilst blatantly ignoring your cry for help is mismanagement at best.

If you or someone you know is in this situation and would love some support,encouragement and strategies to help you navigate to a better outcome and opportunities… Let's talk!

What does a life coach actually help with?

Life coaching helps you identify what may be holding you back and supports you to move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and direction.

Coaching can help with overthinking, self-doubt, perfectionism, confidence, career decisions, boundaries, relationships, motivation, and feeling stuck.

How do I know if life coaching is right for me?

If you feel disconnected, overwhelmed, unfulfilled, stuck in old patterns, or unsure what your next step is, coaching can help you gain clarity and momentum.

Many people come to coaching when they know something needs to change but aren’t sure where to start.

What results can I expect from coaching?

Every person’s journey is different, but clients often experience improved confidence, stronger boundaries, reduced overthinking, clearer goals, better communication, and greater self-belief.

Because the coaching process is highly practical and action-focused, clients often notice increased momentum, improved follow-through, reduced procrastination, and greater consistency in taking action toward the life or leadership goals they want.

Many people also report feeling calmer, more motivated, and more aligned with the life they truly want.

Do you provide accountability between sessions?

Yes. Accountability is one of the biggest reasons coaching creates lasting change. Many clients know what they want to do, but struggle with procrastination, overthinking, perfectionism, or self-doubt.

Coaching provides structure, support, encouragement, and practical accountability to help you follow through on the changes you want to make. Clients also receive personalised session summaries and action steps via email to help maintain focus and momentum between sessions.

What if I’ve already tried everything?

Many clients come to coaching after trying therapy or counselling or self help books/courses to work through challenges on their own. Sometimes what’s missing is objective support, accountability, new strategies, and someone who can help you see your blind spots more clearly.

Coaching is fundamentally future-focused and action-oriented. While we may explore past patterns and limiting beliefs, coaching is designed to help you create practical change moving forward.
