Self-belief Coaches!
Part of the process of integrating learning is about reflecting on what has changed for you.
At the end of each module, we'll offer you a question for you to ponder.
'What do you know now, about Self-doubt that you didn't know before? How might your learning support your coaching clients?'
Please share your thoughts in the discussion! We'd love to know what you are thinking about.
Just catching up on this one. Noticing how strongly all the archetypes in the Leadership section resonate with me, although I only got Designer in my top 3. This will definitely be an area to nurture for me, and I can also see how work I’ve done with coaches and therapists over the past few years has already helped bring a lot of these qualities into, or more towards, being in light.
That’s so interesting Ellen. Can I ask what your top 3 Archetype scores were?
Usually wherever the archetypes show up strongest (if someone has more than 1 archetype in a particular quadrant) thats where our sense of being resourced feels low, so that would indicate a great place to nurture!
I’ve been meaning to come discuss on here for ages, just to say how fascinating the archetypes are and how interesting it was to me to see that my top one was the biggest theme of my most recent bout of therapy! I had top two in the wisdom category (scout top and then inquisitor second) and its showing up so strongly right now in parenting – not trusting anyone else to look after little one but also not trusting myself / thinking I need to find the ‘right’ way for everything…
I know the individual archetypes have suggestions for how to experiment with self-trust, but I also know you mentioned that if you have two in one category it implies theres possibly some need for attention in that area generally. Do you have suggestions of what this might look like for the different areas? (hopefully this makes sense!)
Also just wanted to name that my brain is panicking that I can’t remember all the archetypes but I guess you look them up before session with the person and also they are really as a starting point for deeper / more personalised conversations?
Harriet that IS fascinating! And perhaps affirming for you too?
Yes you can absolutely look them up before a session! And they are always just a starting point 🙂
That you have two Archetypes in Self-trust suggests that this is where your self-doubt is strong. There is often a sense that we need to find the right way, wait until you know more, avoid making mistakes at all costs, putting off decisions – all that fun stuff! This is fuelled by the belief that ‘I don’t have enough information’ so there is a desire to wait until you know enough to take action. But you can’t wait long enough to feel safe – that’s not where safety comes from. It’s about trust yourself no matter waht happens.
There are a couple of approaches you could experiment with to grow your self-trust.
– Notice your body response to low risk decisions – a yes often feels like an expansion or opening and a no feels like a weightedness or contraction. These are often subtle sensations and it can take time and practice to feel your way in. Experiment with choices that have no consequences eg what to have for lunch – leftover dinner or make a chicken sandwich? Just imagine eating either one and notice the sensations of expansion or contraction. You are practicing trusting your own cues.
– Secondly, move one place around the compass and you’ll come to Self-belief – all about leadership, values, intention and encouragement. How can you practice these aspects of you? What are the Values you get to express by taking action? What intentions can you set? How can you encourage yourself?
We will talk more about the archetypes and the protectors in Module 6.
Thanks so much Sas, this is really interesting and I will definitely try out the experiments! And yes so fascinating – finding the training so interesting on a personal as well as professional level!
I also funnily / predictably enough notice myself panicking about remembering all the information and knowing enough to do the work of the training / apply with clients! I mentioned this to my pod and I am sure the practice and support from them is going to help a lot. And also I am reminding myself that even though we are on module 5 we are actually not that far in and there’s plenty of time left!

I’m so glad this is all landing Harriet.
And yes – that sense of ‘I’ve got to remember everything’ is something that comes up all the time! You are not alone.
How great that you shared this in your pod and you get to practice and play together.
There is so much time 🙂
Hi Sas, just rewatching these (as we are going back through everything in our pod) and wondered if there was a poster size version of the compass that we should have received? Would love to have that to put on wall
We don’t send this out to you but I will get a high res pdf created that you can print yourself 🙂
Ooh yes please. That would be so helpful!
