You know self-love is important, but it can be hard to remember to love yourself each and every day. It's so easy to get caught up in the daily grind that you forget to take a step back and appreciate all that you really are. The best way to show yourself some love is by reciting affirmations each day. These positive statements will help you focus on your good qualities and remind you that you are worthy of love. #coachmelonie #affirmation #womenencouragement #holisticwellness #mindset #inspirewomen #encouragewomen #upliftwomen #freewomen #mindsetmatters #mindsetiseverything #selfnegative #negativeenergy #negativeselftalk #loveyourself #selflove https://www.instagram.com/p/CbI6Dnmurdr/?utm_medium=tumblr

C.O.U.R.A.G.E. – Courage for Women
New Post has been published on https://personalcoachingcenter.com/c-o-u-r-a-g-e-courage-for-women/
C.O.U.R.A.G.E. – Courage for Women
A  Leadership Coaching model 
One of my chosen models is C.O.U.R.A.G.E. It is about courage for Women who wish to transition from where they are to where they want to be, empowered to ‘jump’, and no longer paralyzed by fear.
It’s been noted that many women are missing in leadership roles and that about 14.16% of them hold executive positions in Fortune 500 companies, and this has remained the same for a few years now.
Having worked in a corporate setting for many years, I have been impacted by, witnessed, and recognize the barriers that keep women from advancing in their careers or achieving their business aspirations.  These barriers are in the form of an invisible ceiling among which are unconscious gender bias, stereotypes, and lack of access to an informal network of power and influence.  The “old boy network” is very much alive.  These barriers keep women moving in circles and many times lead them to develop inner glass ceilings which may manifest as self-limiting beliefs, fear, lack of confidence, and feeling of inadequacy, to name a few.
These inner glass ceilings are even more dangerous because they show that they have bought into the indoctrination that women are not strong and capable leaders. Their ability to self-advocate or network is neutralized by the lack of self-confidence, the feeling of inadequacy, and fear.
Many well-qualified women find themselves working in jobs or positions that they know they are overqualified for, but because some jobs, especially top decision-making jobs are believed to be slated for men, women do not feel empowered to apply for them.  Some women think sacrificially as well.  “I just want a means to put food on the table,” they say, and decide that they would not ‘rock the boat’.
When it comes to negotiating salaries, many women negotiate for lower salaries, only to find out that their male counterparts, doing similar jobs, are paid higher.  Even after they find out, some say to themselves, “it does not matter.  The difference is not much.” These same women, when they are in the comfort of their homes, complain about how unfair the situation at work is, and sometimes feel like quitting.
Many of us want the glass ceiling to shatter, but do not have the courage to pick up the hammer, let alone strike at the ceiling.  We simply mind our Ps and Qs and hope that someone else would be the courageous one.  Sometimes, women even sabotage one another.  They are more comfortable working under a male boss than a female one.  “Who does she think, she is?” we silently ask, about our female executive.  All these keep the glass ceiling opaque and thick.
The C.O.U.R.A.G.E Model
My model is C.O.U.R.A.G.E. It details steps in helping women discover the courage to navigate the external and internal glass ceilings to living up to their full potential.  Merriam Webster’s dictionary defines courage as: “mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty.”
Courage is not easy to come by.  To me, it is feeling the fear, but doing it anyway, or as Erica Jong put it: “I have not ceased being fearful, but I have ceased to let fear control me.”
One perception that people have about women leaders is that they lack courage. I don’t really agree with this perception.  What women or anyone facing a challenge need are the support that would help bring out the courage within them.
Many women have been so indoctrinated that the inner glass ceilings they develop block their ability to show the courage within them. To know whether women are courageous, one needs to put them in a position where they must fight for their loved ones.  Those moments are when their courage springs to action.  The challenge is that women find it difficult to show courage for themselves.  This is where coaching is needed and proves helpful.
C.O.U.R.A.G.E
C-Challenge
When clients come to me with the stories of what they are going through in their lives, which sometimes is their attempt to justify their being stuck, I as their coach, would challenge them to discover what is really going on, without digging too much into the story, nor taking them back into the past. This helps to make them aware of what their real issue might be.  With this awareness, they can move on to the next step.
O-Openness
Through powerful questions, the coach can help the client to be open to the new paradigm, or to reframe their perspective.  Some questions could be:
What else could be going on?
What else is possible?
What have you not considered, that might be helpful?
U-Unwavering
Coaching can then empower them to be unwavering.  Some of them have dreams that they feel are unattainable because, after all, “I am only a woman”.  With the coach’s support the client can acknowledge the fear, but do what they must, anyway.  According to Ernest Hemingway, “Courage is grace under pressure.”
R-Reassure/Reach/Resolute
Holding space for a client is very critical.  The coach’s presence reassures the client, helping them to reach for their dream, and be resolute while pursuing it.  These are moments when a feeling of inadequacy sets in, as the client reaches inward to clutch unto their inner glass ceiling.  With a coach listening actively and acknowledging the client, the client can keep their focus, and walk the path they must.
These are moments when the coach observes shifts in energy and questions what is really going on.  It is the moment when the coach observes the twinkle in the client’s eyes and draws more of it out with acknowledgment.  Often, this is what women lack.  Many women are not acknowledged, but are often judged.
A-Action
This is the point of implementation.  The coach at this point supports the client to create an action plan.  This might be a small step towards their vision.  Some powerful questions can help the client to commit herself.  It is not homework by the coach, but an action plan reached by the client through the coaching process.  Some questions the coach might ask are:
What is the one step that you can take today, that would help you in achieving your goal?
When do you plan to do it?
How can you ensure that you do it?
The aim is to make sure that they have a way to keep themselves accountable.  People tend to outsource accountability to others, like their partners.  The coach would need to find out how the client plans to keep herself accountable so that any additional support would simply be a bonus.
G-Grounded
The coach proceeds then to ask the client questions to ensure that the commitment they made is a solid one. Sometimes we tell people what we think they want to hear.  The coach needs to find a way to support the client’s action plan, by finding out what could get in the way.
What could get in the way of you taking the step you have decided on?
Being aware of that, how can you prevent yourself from being distracted.
E-Encouraged/Energized and Empowered
Encouragement would take the form of finding out how the client plans to use their learning from this process to help them stay grounded. It is also the moment when the coach once more, acknowledges the hard work that the client has done, reflecting the gratitude often shown by clients back to them, to let them know that they are the ones who did the hard work and that they have what it takes.  The client at this point would feel energized and empowered.
Courage is not easy to come by, but it is certainly attainable.  Showing courage despite the fear can lead women or anyone facing the inner glass ceiling to overcome and pursue their dreams. The coach, using the C.O.U.R.A.G.E. model can hold space for the client, encourage her to access the courage that she has within to help her overcome the external and internal barriers which prevent growth or advancement. This in turn will help the client to feel energized and empowered.

When you are facing a difficult situation it is easy to ask God why. But instead change your perspective and ask God does he need you to learn in this moment that you are going through. Stay rooted in God’s word. • • • • ��� • • #godmommywife #god #mommy #wife #godhasaplan #trusthisplan #trusttheprocess #askgodforwisdom #askgodforguidance #growth #stayconnected #changeyourperspective #changeyourthinking #womenencouragement #spiritualencouragement

#Repost @godandmygirlfriendsministries • • • • • Wednesday, Feb 12th: #WednesdayWisdom . Love is an action verb. Christianity should be one too. The title of the book Acts says it all! It’s not called the book of “Ideas” or “Words”, it’s the book of ACTS, or Actions. . Maybe we need to say less these days and DO more. . Remember the song that goes: “And they’ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love, yes they’ll know we are Christians by our love.” Let’s do that. Let’s show the world the love of Jesus with our actions today and not just our talk. . In this current culture of social media, sometimes we easily mistake talking for doing. We think that speaking out against something (or FOR something) as a way of making a difference, when the truth is it’s only when we DO something that we create real change. . Think of those you love right now. When was the last time you DID something that said “I love you”, without having to use those three little words? . February is the “love month”. Valentine’s Day is this week. If you don’t have a special significant other to celebrate this year, you can always have a fun “GALentine’s Day” and take the day to let your dear friends know how special they are to you. It doesn’t matter who you choose to show love to…. just SHOW LOVE. #G&Gministries #GodAndMyGirlfriends #Community #WomenEncouragement #Faith #Love #WomensMinistry #WomenEncouragingWomen #Friendship. https://www.instagram.com/p/B8fOmVzhLqTZRSdMrvc02F-p2RswKMpig6ZgFg0/?igshid=3u0plz864s0c

Challenge Accepted ‼️ https://youtu.be/zRm0iCVrp8k PINAR Gültekin was a 27-year-old Turkish student who is suspected to have been murdered by her ex-boyfriend. She was reported missing on July 16 and her remains were found days later. Cemal Metin Avci is the only suspect in the case. Cops believe Gültekin was beaten and strangled to death by Avci, who then allegedly torched her corpse in a garbage can and covered it in concrete before dumping the remains in a forest. How many women in Turkey were killed in 2019? In 2019, 474 women were murdered, mostly by partners and relatives, the highest rate in a decade, according to The Guardian. This is a 200 percent increase since 237 women were lost in 2013. 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤 . . . . . . . . . . . #challengeaccepted #blackandwhite #domesticviolenceawareness #womenempowerment #womensupportingwomen #womenmatter #stopdomesticviolence #stopviolenceagainstwomen #violenceagainstwomen #womeninspiringwomen #prayforwomenworldwide #womenencouragingwomen #womenencouraged https://www.instagram.com/p/CDRv4Umnm78/?igshid=zwq77gr7tx9c

Back in 2015, I had a great opportunity to meet with the girls at Maison Fortune orphanage. I felt like their big sister, encouraging them that they can do more. Haitian women are known for only doing the following things; cook, clean, have babies and raise them. As for me, I rebelled against these predisposition set for Haitian women. As a matter of fact, this is how society portrayed for all women around the world. I wanted more than just what society placed for women like myself.....

Be e-inspired! Waiting for what feels like forever can be really frustrating, especially when you feel like you're stuck in limbo. It's easy to feel antsy and frustrated when it feels like time is standing still. You want to make progress but it seems like nothing is happening. Just because it's a transitional season doesn't mean you can't make progress. Be content because I am working behind the scenes to prepare you for the next step. Trust me, I have a plan. Philippians 4:11-13 Not that I (Paul) speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all #coachmelonie #spiritualwellness #wellness #holisticwellness #womenencouragement #womeninspiration #womenpower #godlywoman #godlywomen #spiritualjourney #spiritualgrowth #wellnessjourney #godisgood https://www.instagram.com/p/CZwY3wtuG5X/?utm_medium=tumblr

You want to be happier and more fulfilled, but you don't know how to make that happen. It can be tough to maintain a positive attitude and high vibration when you're constantly bombarded with negativity from the world around you. I repeat love and feel love constantly. The energy of love is inexhaustible in my life and I accept it without resistance. By filling myself up with love, I am able to radiate that light out into the world and create change. #love #iamlove #iamloved #coachmelonie #mindset #motivation #motivational #affirmations #affirmation #affirmationoftheday #affirmationpositive #womenencouragement #womenmotivation #womensupport https://www.instagram.com/p/CZu5Mkzu6lu/?utm_medium=tumblr
