In this episode, I have a wonderful conversation with transformational coach Kim Witten. Kim shares her interesting career path in which she worked as a graphic designer, a marketing professional, a linguist, a data analyst, and a web developer, then moved into UX research and design, all with the common thread of learning more about people and their behaviors.
As a transformational coach, Kim helps her clients discover their why and helps them achieve their full potential. We talk about the benefits of working with a coach and how a coach can help us overcome a lifetime of limiting beliefs.
Kim shares her coaching philosophy and her unique approach to helping her clients reach their potential.
Learn about the difference between overthinkers and deep thinkers.
Kim helps us see both from a new helpful perspective
Getting unstuck can happen in a single moment and the whole world opens up to us as we get unblocked.
Kim shares the behaviors and thought patterns that get in our way and can trip us up such as future tripping and overthinking and strategies to prevent the negative effects that can happen.
Learn about rumination and how it is different from overthinking
Naming the part of ourselves that becomes anxious and overthinks is a good way to identify it and deal with it when it shows up.
Listener challenge:
Kim shares a self-discovery challenge to learn about your wants and how to identify the ones that matter the most. It's a tough but rewarding challenge. You don't want to miss it!
