WHAT KIND OF MINDSET DO YOU HAVE?
American psychologist, Carol Dweck, first coined the terms ‘Growth Mindset’ and ‘Fixed Mindset’ to distinguish between these two psychological profiles:
“In a fixed mindset students believe their basic abilities, their intelligence, their talents, are just fixed traits. They have a certain amount and that's that, and then their goal becomes to look smart all the time and never look dumb. In a growth mindset students understand that their talents and abilities can be developed through effort, good teaching and persistence. They don't necessarily think everyone's the same or anyone can be Einstein, but they believe everyone can get smarter if they work at it.” (Carol Dweck)
At Clear Sky Coaching, a high priority is placed on cultivating the kind of mindset that will maximise your chances of success.
Mindset means a set of attitudes we hold in our mind. It is our thoughts and beliefs about ourself, others and the world. Many people are more inclined towards negative beliefs than positive ones. We have limiting beliefs that lead us to make limiting decisions. At Clear Sky Coaching, we help women to become more aware of these limiting beliefs as a first step towards transforming them. Our negative mindset can cause us to lack confidence and self-esteem, fearing failure or even success. We can assist in turning beliefs such as ‘I can't do that’ and ‘it’s just not me’ into positive ones such as ‘I can’ and ‘everything is possible’.

SHIFT YOUR MINDSET | SET YOUR GOALS | ACHIEVE THEM
I attended Kajal's talk on How To Develop A Positive Mindset recently. I found it really helpful. Kajal's delivery of the workshop was very good, the content was really good, and her passion for the subject came across. Also, the way she got the audience to interact was brilliant. I found the talk very beneficial and especially her SPIRAL Model" NS

Business coaching.....not something that I knew much about and not something that I had previously thought I would benefit from.
Having been made redundant I had turned my side gig into my full time job. I am working within a multi level marketing business and had thought that the principles of work that I had applied when this had provided me “pocket money” would suffice when allowing this to support me full time. I soon realised however that this wasn’t the case and so I turned to a business coach to help me develop and grow my
business and the skills required to do so.
Whilst I knew some areas that required work, I was not aware of the reasons why my thought processes were not serving me in these areas. Kajal was able to help me see how some of my emotional feelings were not benefitting my business and in fact were hindering me from moving forwards.
We had started our sessions with a strategy in plan as to what we would focus on....goals, mindset, actions, results. I would bring my frustrations and worries to the meetings and together we would look at what drove those feelings, what steps could be taken to eliminate then and what action was required to push past them.
We looked at limiting beliefs and who I gave my power to. Kajal showed me that it was not healthy to my business to continually please other people – that I needed to put myself first, to reserve my energy for those who wanted it. We discussed the “smart goals” that I had set for myself and Kajal helped me see that I needed to have a plan as to how I was going to achieve this. Having been a “fly by the seat of your pants” kind of girl, planning was something very alien to me but Kajal showed me that in order to achieve my goal of promotion I would need to lay some foundations stones in place.
Together, Kajal and I explored how I interacted with my team and how best I could work with them. Leadership is not something that comes naturally to me and my expectations of others were high. Kajal taught me to rein in my expectations, to give help to whose who wanted it, to learn to let go of those who didn’t want it. We practised role plays on how to speak with my team and she showed me a different
way of approaching them.
Since embarking on Kajal’s course I have found a new way of working my business. Whilst still passionate about what I do, whilst still leading from the gut, whilst still approaching it with my open heart I do so with a plan of action. I do so without the burden of guilt if I have not been able to inspire others to follow in my footsteps – my road may not be their road and that is ok.
I have come to realise through time spent on Kajal’s course that business is not just business. It is an extension of you – your hopes, your fears, your beliefs, your passion and that your upbringing, your emotional relationships, your home life all bring to bear in the way that you conduct your business. Kajal has shown me how my limiting negative beliefs in life can stem my business. The “business course” ultimately became a “ life course”. I have learnt so much more about myself than I expected. I have found a way to not just be joyful about all the positive, great things
that my business brings but how to also find a positive from a negative, how I can learn from each mistake – be better next time. Kajal has allowed me to continue to feel all the emotions that I do, whether happy, sad, frustrated, overwhelming, excited, scared but to allow them to serve my business in a positive, thriving manner.
I am looking forward to see what 2021 brings. I have a structured plan in place to build my business. I feel more confident about interacting with my team. I carry around less feelings of guilt about what I didn’t/have yet to achieve, knowing that I have learnt lessons from the failures. I have set aside time during my day for what is important to me – exercise, personal development, family and I know that it is ok to
say no to people if it doesn’t benefit me. I don’t have to be that people pleaser anymore.
“Don’t let anyone take away your peace” was Kajal’s final piece of advice to me. What Kajal didn’t realise when saying this was she was the one who brought the peace to my life in a way that I could never have imagined a business course would.
I could not recommend Kajal’s course more and it gives me great pleasure to know that through her workshops, website and social media platforms I can continue learning from her."
