But because she's all by herself, she's got limited bandwidth to really work on all of the issues of mentoring and coaching the women in her organization, much less addressing the cultural barriers.” 02:45 - Typical symptoms that clients do before reaching out to Sarah: “My clients are feeling guilt, and a tremendous amount of overwhelm. They want desperately to help the women in their organization.” 03:46 - Common mistakes that people make before they find Sarah’s solution: “The number one mistake that I see them making is trying to do it all, all by themselves anyway. And they do it at the expense of performing their own job well or even tending to their own self-care.” 04:24 - Sarah’s Valuable Free Action (VFA): “My tip is to go talk to your team. Talk to some of the women in maybe the second, third line of leadership in your organization, and start them down the path of coaching themselves. And you can do that by helping them to help each other to clarify goals.” 05:44 - Sarah’s Valuable Free Resource (VFR): Check out Sarah’s FREE Book: sarahebrown.com 07:14 - Q: What is self-coaching?
