03 Dec 2024
What happens when you step back from the roles you've inherited and embrace a life that truly reflects who you are? Join Finola as she chats with systemic coach and facilitator Norma O'Kelly, exploring the transformative power of systemic coaching. Drawing from her extensive training, Norma shares insights on how the interconnected systems of family, school, and workplace shape our identities and influence our actions. In a world that often feels isolating, where can we find genuine support? Norma opens up about her journey of stepping into an elder's role too soon, ultimately leading to burnout. She sheds light on how systemic coaching and constellations can help restore balance in our familial roles. By connecting with our ancestors—whether through cherished items or vivid memories—we can combat loneliness and revitalise our entrepreneurial spirit. Norma also emphasises the importance of setting boundaries and moving away from a rescue mentality, which is crucial for our well-being and professional success. She shares practical exercises to help you understand your family dynamics and leverage those insights to grow your personal and professional life. If you're feeling stuck energetically, get ready to step out of entanglement and into a life of empowerment! Key points throughout include: Systemic Coaching 101: Understanding the systems that shape our lives The cost of caring: How self-neglect can lead to burnout Stepping into freedom and embracing new beginnings with support and space Connecting with the past: The power of guidance resources in systemic coaching Energy drains vs. radiators: The importance of positive influences Bridging family and business: The impact of systemic coaching on entrepreneurial values Objects of connection: A gentle, practical exercise to explore family ties Embracing your wholeness: Finding freedom and authority within "You are whole and resourced. You’re not broken. You don’t need to be fixed. You have tons of resources and now it’s time to start accessing them."– Norma O'Kelly.
