Le coaching avec Linda Bartholme

·18 min·1 clip

A mother transformed her strained relationship with her 17-year-old son by working on her own mental patterns with a coach.

The episode begins with host Nicolas introducing the topic of coaching and welcoming guest Linda, a professional coach specializing in supporting mothers. Linda introduces herself as a German expat and teacher living on Vancouver Island, who started her coaching business three years ago after a personal crisis during pregnancy. She defines coaching as not about advice but about accompanying clients to create clarity, confidence, and constancy, emphasizing the importance of celebrating progress. Routines and habits are discussed as key to well-being, with Linda explaining how small, flexible habits can create freedom and energy. The coaching process involves initial meetings using approaches like positive intelligence to understand brain patterns, followed by weekly sessions to build routines and identity. Linda shares two success stories: one client improved her relationship with her teenage son, and another gradually adjusted her sleep schedule, leading to better patience and work performance. In a myths vs. realities segment, Linda debunks ideas that coaching is only for people in difficulty, routines are boring, and one can manage alone. She highlights that coaching can accelerate success and provide perspective. The conversation touches on how talking to a coach offers different insights than self-reflection or discussions with partners. Linda advises listeners to start with one small behavior change daily, eliminate an unhelpful habit, and celebrate successes. The episode concludes with resources for contacting Linda via her website.
