Trying to be the best mother, partner and version of yourself can feel like mission impossible. It also can take a toll on your relationships and family. So what should you do? We asked professional coaches – five women who have all completed The Newfield Coach Certification Program by The Coach Partnership – about how they manage at home.
TINI FADZILLAH
Co-founder of The Coach Partnership, Tini works in corporate training, coach certification and executive coaching. She also hosts a podcast, TINITALK, blending her 27 years of coaching with insights from industry leaders. Tini and her husband have a 15-year-old daughter, Maia, who runs her own jewellery business and also has Down syndrome.
Listening to what’s unspoken
"There are so many things that I have learned through coaching and applied at home. I will start by saying that I am by no means the finished product – not even close.
Communication and listening are key things that I make a point to practise at home. I constantly work on engaging with not just what’s being said but also the unspoken. These are things like the mood, nuances and messages behind our words and my gut or intuition. To be an acute listener, you need to listen to what’s happening on the outside and inside of you and the other person.
Often it also helps to take that “big elephant” of a task or idea and break it down into bite-sized chunks. This works for my daughter and it works for most (dare I say all) of the executives that I work with too.
