Ep 506:Strengths based coaching to boost self confidence and resilience - with Lindsay Guest

The Health Fix Podcast

In this episode of a two part series, I'm diving into the transformative power of strengths-based coaching with Lindsay Guest, a Positive Psychology Coach specializing in helping women unlock their full potential. With a focus on leveraging unique strengths, Lindsay guides women to build confidence, find direction, and feel more energized in their personal and professional lives. Her approach is especially impactful during life transitions, such as menopause, where women can anchor themselves, reconnect with their values, and rediscover what truly matters. I found Lindsay's approach to be fascinating so I decided to go on a journey with her for a month of coaching and I talk all about my experience in part 2.

Originally from the UK, Lindsay has lived in Switzerland for 20 years, where she is raising two daughters. She brings her strengths of empathy, communication, and inclusivity to every coaching session, creating a supportive and motivating experience for her clients.

Key Takeaways:

• Using Strengths-Based Coaching to End the Comparison Game: Instead of focusing on what others are doing, strengths-based coaching helps women identify their own unique strengths and qualities, building a strong sense of self-confidence and reducing the need for comparison.

• Building Resilience and Self-Confidence: Understanding and utilizing your strengths helps build resilience. By focusing on what works well, you create a foundation of confidence that can carry you through challenging times.

• Improving Relationships Through Strengths Awareness: When you know and use your strengths, it not only benefits you but also improves how you relate to others, helping to create stronger, healthier connections.

• Bringing Teams Together: Strengths-based coaching isn’t just for individuals. By understanding the strengths of each team member, you can create a more cohesive and effective team dynamic that amplifies each person’s contributions and drives projects forward.

• Strengths Training and Family Dynamics: Lindsay also highlights how strengths awareness can positively impact family life, helping families understand each other better and work together more harmoniously.

Who This Episode is For:

• Women at any stage of life looking to boost their confidence, especially during life transitions such as menopause.
• Leaders and managers interested in using strengths-based coaching to bring out the best in their teams.
• Anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Positive Psychology and how to apply it to everyday life.
