My Driving Values

Connection begins with how we relate to ourselves. This involves understanding and embracing our authentic selves—our emotions, values, and inner truth. By fostering a genuine connection with who we are, we create a foundation to engage meaningfully with our environment, other people, and the broader world. Authenticity is the key that unlocks these relationships, allowing them to flourish in harmony and trust.

At 22 Coaching, our mantra is: You win, I win, we win! We believe that we are all inherently connected—our lives, actions, and energy interwoven with those around us in ways that transcend physical boundaries. Every thought, word, and action ripples out and touches others, creating a web of influence that shapes our world. This interconnectedness means that no one is ever truly alone; we are all part of a larger whole, each contributing to the collective fabric of humanity and one another’s success. When we align with our true selves, embracing our authenticity and inner wisdom, we amplify our positive impact on others, inspiring them to do the same.

"When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too." – Paulo Coelho

Empowering clients to harness the transformative power of connection with themselves means helping them to reconnect with their unique "superpowers," motivators, and the people and environments that inspire them. By fostering these connections, clients can navigate their lives with greater resilience, clarity, and joy, creating a ripple effect that strengthens not only themselves but also the world around them.

This understanding of interconnectedness is crucial not only for personal growth but also for creating thriving business ecosystems. In business, no organisation exists in isolation. Every decision, relationship, and action connects to a broader network of stakeholders—including employees, customers, partners, and the community.

An interconnected business ecosystem is one where collaboration and shared purpose drive innovation and growth. By aligning with the needs and values of all stakeholders, businesses can build trust, foster mutual respect, and create sustainable success. This requires cultivating strong internal connections—building cohesive teams, aligning goals, and fostering a culture of openness and trust—as well as forming meaningful external partnerships that benefit the broader community and environment.

Internally, it is important that business leaders connect their vision, mission and values with their strategy and day to day ways of operating, as well as actively encouraging their employees to recognise and embrace their unique strengths and contributions - creating synergy throughout the organisation. This connection with their purpose and values not only enhances personal fulfilment but also elevates the collective performance of the organisation. By fostering an environment that celebrates diversity, inclusion and equity, people will feel seen, valued, and supported. Businesses can harness this transformative power of human connection to achieve shared and sustainable success.

Connection in business also emphasises the importance of adaptability and reciprocity. Just as natural ecosystems thrive through balance and interdependence, businesses prosper when they create systems that are flexible, responsive, and mutually beneficial. Whether it’s through forging alliances, supporting local communities, or innovating with sustainability in mind, acknowledging these relationships leads to long-term resilience and meaningful impact.

In the context of our coaching sessions, connecting with my intuition and being truly present is vital in cultivating trust and understanding what is important to you. By building rapport and fostering a deep sense of connection, I create a safe and supportive space where your true self can emerge and thrive.

My ability to listen beyond the surface—to hear not only what is being said but also what remains unspoken—allows me to uncover the nuances of your inner world. This includes identifying limiting beliefs or subconscious patterns that may be holding you back, as well as recognising hidden strengths and untapped potential that can propel you forward. Often, the things left unsaid hold the key to profound transformation, and by bringing these to light with curiosity and compassion, we can unlock new pathways for growth.

Whether personal or professional—recognising and honouring the intricate web of relationships in which we exist allows us to operate with intention, compassion, and purpose, ultimately uplifting ourselves, others, our businesses and the communities we are part of.
