The Coaching Life: Surviving or Thriving? – Part 2

“Setting Boundaries and Other Strategies to Enhance Well-being”

The concept and impact of well-being may be generalized, but the experience of what creates it will be profoundly personal. What is well-being, how do we notice when we don’t have it, and how can we cultivate it for ourselves? The ability to resource oneself, that it, find energy to persist, is essential in an industry that is built on a seasonal model that requires a great deal from its coaches. Intentionally choosing a mindset that fosters optimism can offset the stresses of a demanding environment. And that begins with setting boundaries—think time management, email and general communications, meetings, and more.

Returning speaker and Mental Performance Coach, Heather Cribbin, will share tools to help you set boundaries. She’ll also delve into the following topics:

• What is well-being, why is the term trending, and what does it mean for you?
• The Wheel of Life as an indicator of well-being. (Have a pencil and paper handy)
• What is the impact if well-being is missing? Can ski coaches have “burnout”?
• Is burnout the opposite of well-being?
• How do boundaries contribute to or protect your well-being?
• What happens when boundaries are missing/crossed?
• Values as a way of identifying and holding boundaries, and supporting well-being
• How can we see time as a boundary and not a commodity?
• Emotional intelligence as a tool for conversations to express/hold boundaries
