Time We Discuss: Day in the Life of a Confidence Coach
Watch/Listen to this Episode Day in the Life of a Confidence Coach
Confidence Coach, Tamara Pflug (Switzerland), shares insights into her journey and philosophy in pursuing this profession. She discusses her transition from being a school teacher to becoming a life coach focused on confidence. Tamara explains that she became a confidence coach because confidence is not something taught in school, yet it impacts all areas of life. She emphasizes that her typical day involves self-coaching to overcome self-doubt, which she believes is a universal experience.
Tamara initially coached people on various topics like productivity, time management, weight loss, and dating. However, she noticed that the root of most issues was a lack of self-confidence and a belief in one's worthiness. This realization led her to specialize in confidence coaching, which she believes is fundamental to personal growth and success.
Tamara shares that she also ran a successful business selling kitchen gadgets on Amazon with her husband, which allowed her to leave teaching. Despite initial doubts about her age and experience, she followed her intuition and pursued coaching full-time. She now helps clients develop a light-hearted approach to life, encouraging them to take their goals seriously but not themselves.
She utilizes techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, emphasizing that thoughts create emotions, which drive actions and shape reality. Tamara advocates for "shopping for better thoughts" to improve the quality of life. She also discusses the stigma around life coaching, particularly in Europe, where it is less accepted compared to the U.S. However, she believes this will change over time, much like the stigma around therapy has diminished.
This episode highlights Tamara's belief in the importance of having a vision and intention, even if the path is not entirely clear. She encourages others to follow their intuition and pursue what excites them, sharing her own experience of attracting her first paying client by embodying the role of a life coach, even while still involved in her previous business.
Overall, Tamara's approach to confidence coaching is grounded in personal experience, cognitive techniques, and a belief in the power of positive thinking and intuition.
