Who's in your corner?
Coaching helps bridge the gap between knowing and doing
I’ve been thinking lately about what I’ve learned about coaching from my trainer, Stan. I’m a relatively fit person—I’ve been working out on my own for years, and I know a lot about exercise. I understand proper form in weightlifting, how to improve cardio fitness, and the importance of warming up and stretching.
I could work out on my own because I know how. So why, then, did I sign up for a small group fitness class?
Here’s the truth: even though I can do a version on my own, having Stan as my trainer makes a huge difference. He helps me focus, keeps me motivated when I’m tempted to slack off, and structures my workouts so I push myself harder than I would solo.
When I hear him shout, “Don’t stop, Jenn!” across the room, I work harder and go back to squatting even though my thighs are burning. (Also, I can’t hide in the group because everyone knows he’s talking to me when he speaks in English instead of Dutch!)
This got me thinking about my role as a writing coach. Many of you already know that you should guard your writing time, manage your procrastination, or handle the challenges of ADHD when tackling complex projects.
You’ve probably picked up a variety of strategies along the way. But, like me with my workouts, maybe what you need is that extra push to stay consistent, stay motivated, and do your best work.
That’s where writing coaching comes in. It’s not just about teaching you things you don’t already know; it’s about helping you implement those things when motivation is low or life gets in the way. It’s about having someone in your corner, giving you the structure, accountability, and encouragement you need to follow through.
€50 discount on coaching!
Want to try out coaching and see if it’s a good fit for you?
If you book a free discovery call before November 12, you can sign up for a month of coaching for just €300, which is a €50 discount.
Here’s how it works:
Discovery Call: Meet to discuss your goals and see if we’re a good fit.
Coaching Call #1: Explore your key goal, address barriers, and create a plan.
Virtual Support: Take action over two weeks with my ongoing support and troubleshooting via email or WhatsApp.
Coaching Call #2: Review progress, refine the plan, and work to set you up for success.
Continued Support: Two more weeks of virtual support to wrap up the month.
If, after that, you’d like more ongoing support, we can discuss if you’d like to continue on together. If you decide to continue coaching after the first month, you can extend for another month at the same discounted rate of €300.
Coaching is an investment in yourself. It’s a commitment to doing things differently, to finally taking action on the things that you know you should do but need an extra push to make a reality.
If you’re ready to try it out, book a no-obligation discovery call before November 12!
