Hey everyone, welcome to my Shiny Minds Show. Hello everyone, my name is Shiny Unsal. I am the proud creator of Neuroshine Technology, ICF Master Certified Coach, ICF Accredited Coach Trainer, and Licensed Trainer of Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Today I would love to talk to you about why you need a coaching mindset. And you do not need to be a coach to need a coaching mindset. It is enough that you are a human being, because coaching mindset does not necessarily need to belong to professional coaches. Coaching mindset, to me, in my understanding, is one of the highest levels of skill sets for any human being to have. Literally, I'm going to talk about 4 reasons why you need to have a coaching mindset, and of course, the reasons are not limited to only 4, Right? So I'm just going to share 4 of these and I cannot wait. If you're ready, let's go. Number 1, inner strength. Coaching mindset is being able to understand your own mental mechanics. Coaching mindset is being able to understand other people's mental mechanics. Coaching mindset requires for you to have the knowledge and experience about being a human so that you understand the principles of having a powerful mindset, unstoppable mindset, resilient mindset, aligned mindset with who you are. Of course, it comes with a lot of prerequisites, right? So these prerequisites are exactly what you need in order to have your own inner strength. Let me give you an example. Maybe you are somebody who gets easily anxious when things don't go the way you want them to go. Is that so? Well, if that is, think about it. Why is it? Is it because of your attachment style? I mean, if you know anything about psychology, you need to understand that we do have our own attachment styles. It is about our childhood and our caregivers and how we are raised at home. And we do have basically 4 different attachment styles, and those attachment styles are actually, are the main reasons why we look at our life and what's going on in our life in a certain way, including our relationships and things that don't go the way we want them to go. And in order for you to have peace of mind and manage your anxiety. Even when things go bananas and when life throws you lemons, you want to have your inner strength. You want to keep your cool and you want to be able to say, I got this. And that requires so many little pieces together, like a puzzle, right? When you have a coaching mindset, you understand these pieces of the puzzle. You understand the psychology, where it is coming from. Is this my truth? Does that belong to me, or is it something that I learned from my childhood? Do I own it? Do I want to own it? How can I get over it, and how can I become better? Are there any techniques? Are there any tools that I can use to implement to have more resilience? Those are the moving pieces I'm talking about in order to have your inner strength. Number 2, deeper relationships. According to the study that is done by International Coaching Federation, people who work with professional coaches, I mean, people who hire professional coaches to help them maximize their potential, they report that they do have deeper relationships, they do have meaningful lives, and they understand themselves better. And then they also report that they improve their communication skills. So in order for you to have all these results, yes, of course, it's a great idea for you to go hire a coach and work with a professional coach. And at the same time, you can also study coaching skills and build your own coaching mindset. Therefore, it's It stays with you forever, right? That's the whole idea. And when you have that coaching mindset, when you invest in building this coaching mindset, guess what? You have this built-in software in your brain that is gonna help you to deepen your relationships, not only with others but with yourself. That is the key. When you deepen your relationships, you are going to cover a big part of the mystery in your life. Because let me tell you about the PERMA model. From positive psychology, there is a tool called PERMA, and that is created by Martin Seligman, the co-founder of positive psychology. PERMA stands for— P stands for positive emotions. E stands for engagement, R is relationships, M is meaning, and A is achievements. When you look at all these 5 pieces of the PERMA, then you can see that's how you are going to be happy. And the big part of this happiness is relationships, as you see. So when you build your own coaching mindset, when you deepen your relationships, guess what's gonna happen? You're gonna become happier. Number 3: growth. Aren't we here in this game of life so that we can grow into our better version? So that we can become our best self?

And number 4 is creativity. When you have a coaching mindset, you are going to become even more creative. Why? Because you will be able to get curious about things. Get curious about yourself, get curious about other people. Hmm, what makes him say that? I'm curious what makes her behave in that way. I'm curious, like, why do I get triggered sometimes? That type of curiosity is exactly what you need to bring your creativity, to become innovative, to become larger than life.
