ARE YOU STRUGGLING TO MEET YOUR USUAL LEVELS OF ENGAGEMENT and SATISFACTION WITH WORK?
Sometimes in life we can suddenly and often unexpectedly begin to experience a resistance to our usual way of working. It can seem like a huge struggle to complete our everyday tasks.
Often this arises when a ‘change’ or new life event arises and adds to the stress, pressure and responsibilty we are already under from our work.
Individuals with high levels of responsibility can be reluctant to seek help - as they feel they should be able to ‘hold it together’. This is usually in contradiction to what they really need to do.
Seeking help at such times can help the individual and the organisation overcome what may be a barrier to their success at both levels.
Typical symptoms of resistance include:
Feeling tired, wired, anxious, even overwhelmed by the many stresses of work and home life.
Feeling stuck, not able to use your strengths and hampered by the implied weaknesses you and others think you have?
Feeling like you’re not reaching your potential, you not getting the results that you want from the actions your taking.
Feeling that you don’t have the skills, capabilities or confidence to do what you need to do.
Feeling there a is current challenge or block that you need support to overcome.
Your in transition, looking backwards and forwards and freezing in the middle.
The most common cause of stress, is work reated stress, with 79% saying they frequently felt it. (Statistica)
1 in 14 UK adults, 7%, feel stressed every day at work. (CIPHR)
The most common external stressors at work - that we can't control - and may require us to change are:
A new boss - can leave us subject to different management styles, support and expectations of what we should be doing.
A change of culture - change is natural in business can change quickly for a variety of reasons we can't control - forcing us to adapt, before we ready.
A change in role and what is expected of us, requiring a new outlook and a different set of pressures.
A key figure in our team may change, either removing those who support us, or introducing those who don’t.
The most common internal life changing stressors that can make us feel flat and unmotivated at work are:
Sickness - When we (or someone close to us) develops a major illness, it can affect us emotionally, as well as take up our time.
Divorce or separating from our partner - can be emotionally draining and a long legal process may be involved.
The menopause- the physical and emotional changes women experience with the menopause can significantly affect their work.
Bereavement - Losing someone we love can have a huge impact on our emotional state and we need time and support to grieve.

“Gaynor has a friendly and personable style that made me feel instantly at ease, valued, and calm. We explored how I could approach Board development with my trustees, and also how I could improve my own resilience and wellbeing. Being a charity CEO is a lonely and demanding job, and the pressure can make it difficult to trust your own judgement when things get tough. The impact of the sessions, for me, has been profound. Gaynor has shown me how to have faith in my capability, my judgement, and my vision. She listened intently and unpicked for me my true feelings and helped me find my True North. Gaynor was able to identify key messages from what I was saying, and pin down exactly the things that sparked joy for me. From there, she has helped me create a plan of action which feels both achievable and exciting. I would recommend Gaynor’s coaching to anyone – even if you don’t really feel that coaching would be helpful, I can promise working with Gaynor will make you feel you can take on anything!"
