✨Prepare for presence✨ ———  I love coaching about tactics. But before we get to tactics, I always make sure that we’re going in the right direction. And that we’ve taken the time to ask: Hang on, what IS the right direction here? What AM I solving for? Never asking yourself that question is a surefire way to accidentally build a life you hate. You probably do excellent strategy and direction-setting in your job, for your company. You deserve to do it for yourself — in your career and your life too. So come talk to me today, and let’s get started. Book a free coaching consult today: https://poojavcoaching.com/contact What my clients have to say… “It’s honestly fun. You’re working on the most important thing in your life — your goals and your aspirations. And you’re doing it in a manner that is not harsh or strict. In fact, it’s quite fun. It’s like a video game, and you get to gently make progress towards the things that matter.” —Client | Solutions Engineer at Fintech Company Read more client testimonials: https://poojavcoaching.com/testimonials-page Did you know I have a full table of contents, where all my work is categorized by topic, so you can easily find what you need right now?  Check it out here! :) https://poojav.substack.com/p/welcome-to-your-brains-bff

You're already living in your worst case scenario. ———  Managing the divide between intellectual logic and emotional logic is the work of a lifetime. Sometimes your emotional logic is just plain wrong…  …but if you don’t address it and shift it, it can still hold you back and prevent you from doing the things you want.  (We often call that “self-sabotage” but it’s really just internal misalignment that you haven’t resolved yet.) Sometimes your emotional logic is RIGHT.  Sometimes there are pearls of wisdom inside your intuition that you absolutely must listen to.  All the thinking and planning and pro/con lists in the world can’t take you where your gut can take you. And many times, the right answer is a hybrid third answer. Working back and forth between your logical brain and your intuition until you’ve charted a new path forward that works for all parties. This work is not “one and done.” It’s a lifelong practice. And if you can learn the skill of getting the two forces inside you to work together… …that’s when you can unleash the best of you. That’s what I teach my clients to do. So let’s start today.

At the end of the day, that's the reality of the human condition. And so to get to this level of analytical rigor around my feelings is just so helpful.” —Client | CEO, PE-backed company Read more client testimonials: https://poojavcoaching.com/testimonials-page Did you know I have a full table of contents, where all my work is categorized by topic, so you can easily find what you need right now?  Check it out below today! https://poojav.substack.com/p/welcome-to-your-brains-bff

You can do it too :) ———  Coaching isn’t about fixing yourself. Coaching is about returning home to yourself. Every coaching conversation is a dedicated space where you can meet yourself again. Come home today. Book a free coaching consult today: https://poojavcoaching.com/contact What my clients have to say… “I was worried about the cost. But every single session was well worth it.  Coaching with Pooja is the best investment I made last year, by far.  And I made a lot of investments last year — we spend a lot of money on a lot of different things to try to improve our life.  And if I had to go back and redo last year, I would have invested in coaching sooner." —Client | Head of Business Development at MedTech Company Read more client testimonials: https://poojavcoaching.com/testimonials-page Did you know I have a full table of contents, where all my work is categorized by topic, so you can easily find what you need right now?  Check it out below today! https://poojav.substack.com/p/welcome-to-your-brains-bff

I extra pinky promise 🤙🏼 ———  It’s not hard to like yourself, or to be confident. You already have mountains of evidence and piles of accomplishments to prove your case. What’s hard is showing your brain that it’s SAFE to like yourself.  That it’s SAFE to be confident.  That it’s SAFE to give yourself grace for your mistakes. That it’s SAFE to let your guard down and relax into the truth that you are incredible exactly as you are. That’s the part we work on in coaching. It’s not about beating positivity into your brain. It’s about understanding that, through its relentless negativity, your brain is actually trying to protect you. And it’s about slowly unwinding that protective mechanism. Through love and compassion and humor and understanding… Through logic and stories and analogies and real-life mini-practice sessions… Until that protective habit is slowly de-conditioned. So that you can relax and let ease come in. Let’s start today. Book a free coaching consult today: https://poojavcoaching.com/contact What my clients have to say… “I realized that you can always create a space of abundance, even when there's scarcity.  This process has allowed me to go so deep into myself and realize: Just be more yourself. You don’t have to change.  And that abundance helps me to make better, less fear-based decisions." —Client | CEO, PE-backed company Read more client testimonials: https://poojavcoaching.com/testimonials-page Did you know I have a full table of contents, where all my work is categorized by topic, so you can easily find what you need right now?  Check it out below today! https://poojav.substack.com/p/welcome-to-your-brains-bff

Just keep walking. ———  Sometimes, a coach helps you figure out what’s going wrong and how to fix it. And sometimes, a coach helps you realize nothing is going wrong, and all you need to do is keep on going. Both are equally important. Your brain is a problem-finding machine. (This is a good thing!) And as you work through the queue of problems your brain has identified… You want to solve REAL problems quickly and effectively. AND you want to identify “false problems” as “not a problem at all” quickly and effectively.  And then STOP trying to solve them. Because nothing will make you feel more stuck than grinding your gears trying to solve a problem… …that actually isn’t a problem at all. So if you’re feeling stuck right now, let’s talk.  Book a free coaching consult today: https://poojavcoaching.com/contact What my clients have to say… “I love when Pooja drops wisdom. It’s always, like, a five word sentence that I’ll write down in my journal and refer back to.  It’s like sometimes you’ll read a whole book just to get that one sentence.  And it’s kind of like having this encyclopedic friend who’s just like, ‘You said all this stuff. Don’t read that book. Let me just tell you the five words.’  And it’s really incredible.” —Jenny Xia Spradling | Founder & Co-CEO, FreeWill Read more client testimonials: https://poojavcoaching.com/testimonials-page Did you know I have a full table of contents, where all my work is categorized by topic, so you can easily find what you need right now?  Check it out below today! https://poojav.substack.com/p/welcome-to-your-brains-bff

It's like trying to run a race with a broken leg ———  Do you know what it takes to build a better relationship with yourself and eliminate your imposter syndrome? Consistent reps. Troubleshooting and adjusting when it doesn’t work. More consistent reps. That’s it. It’s a skill and a habit, just like any other. If you can learn a new language… If you can learn how to build a model in Excel… If you can learn how to nail all the lyrics to your favorite song in karaoke… Then you can learn how to like and believe in yourself. It’s no different than any other new skill. So come talk to me, and let’s get started. Book a free coaching consult today: https://poojavcoaching.com/contact What my clients have to say… “I have a healthier internal monologue. I still have an internal monologue, but it's a positive one. And there are moments where I slip back into some of the negative thought cycles I used to be in, and it's almost like I can hear— Pooja would tell me to stop assuming that everyone thinks I'm annoying.  And Pooja would tell me to advocate for myself, because what's the worst that could happen?  And Pooja would tell me to take a break and acknowledge that thought, but not get sucked into it and move on with my day. There's a second layer now of my internal monologue that is the healthy helper, which I developed from coaching, that just stops me from ever regressing too far into those negative thoughts.” —Client | Head of Business Development at MedTech Company Read more client testimonials: https://poojavcoaching.com/testimonials-page Did you know I have a full table of contents, where all my work is categorized by topic, so you can easily find what you need right now?  Check it out below today! https://poojav.substack.com/p/welcome-to-your-brains-bff

And what to do about it ———  I just gave you the answer. So why would you still need a coach? Because your mind will fall out of its Want-based why’s and its Surplus Mindset on a regular basis. You have a habit of being motivated by Should’s (and maybe even disregarding or being skeptical of your wants). You have a habit of putting yourself in a Deficit Mindset (and maybe even thinking that praising yourself will make you arrogant or lazy). Identifying the problem and the solution is only the starting point. The real work is in implementing the solution in all the relevant parts of your life. That’s where a coach comes in. A coach gives you the structure, accountability, and expertise to actually get this DONE. Imagine being able to set goals and KNOW you’ll be able to achieve them, every single time. Imagine trusting yourself enough to actually go after the things you want the most. And imagine having FUN the whole way there.  For the whole experience to feel like FLOW, not like a slog. And to feel like, every day, you’re making contact with the best version of yourself. That’s what I help people do. So come talk to me, and let’s get started. Book a free coaching consult today: https://poojavcoaching.com/contact What my clients have to say… “I realized that you can learn just as much from your wins as from your losses.  When you have aspirations and big ambitions, it's really easy to be harsh on yourself. What changed the game for me was realizing that being mean to yourself and making progress are not related to each other at all. Actually, you can have a completely normal, healthy relationship with yourself and encourage yourself AND make progress. I enjoy the process so much more now.” —Client | Solutions Engineer at Fintech Company Read more client testimonials: https://poojavcoaching.com/testimonials-page Did you know I have a full table of contents, where all my work is categorized by topic, so you can easily find what you need right now?  Check it out below today! https://poojav.substack.com/p/welcome-to-your-brains-bff
