E2: 6 Coaching Principles to Help You Feel Personal Freedom

"Let go or be dragged." This is one of the favorite quotes of host Zovig Garboushian that aligns perfectly with one of her executive coaching principles. In this episode of "When Does It Get Good," Zovig shares the transformative power of embracing six core principles in both coaching and personal life:

 

1. Take it or leave it.
2. You are always at choice.
3. Self-awareness is the antidote to self-doubt. 
4. There is no there.
5. You already know the answer.
6. We all have an essence.

 

These principles are not merely strategies; they are gateways to self-discovery and empowerment.  These can shift how we approach our choices, imbuing us with a sense of empowerment even in less than ideal circumstances.

 

Zovig advocates valuing the journey of growth over the pursuit of a non-existent state of perfection. She encourages embracing every step of this journey as an integral part of life, urging listeners to trust their inner wisdom and explore their unique value to the world.

 

Whether you're navigating leadership challenges, personal growth, or seeking a deeper understanding of your path, this episode serves as a guide to move forward. It invites you to embark on a journey of self-discovery, offering principles that promise to transform how you view yourself and your place in the world.

 

Quotes

• "To be able to take something or leave something gives you freedom. It gives you freedom to be creative and try stuff. It gives you freedom to speak the truth and not worry so much about people not walking away or agreeing with you. It gives you the freedom to ask for what you need and not fear being rejected." (08:54 | Zovig Garboushian)
• "Recognizing your value and knowing without a shadow of a doubt your worth is the antidote to self-doubt." (15:50 | Zovig Garboushian) 
• "We spend a lot of time worrying about not knowing enough and looking foolish or silly in front of people and getting things wrong. All of that stuff can start to quiet when we develop a strong, continuous relationship with ourselves. Because when you understand yourself, it becomes harder to judge yourself. You know what you are, and more importantly, you know what you're not." (17:04 | Zovig Garboushian) 
• "If we're always blocking the answers, by doing and doing and doing, we will not get to our own answers. You deserve the time to be quiet, have a moment of reflection, and just sort of ponder the things that are open-ended for you, the things that are meaningful for you, that if solved, or if answered, could change the course of your life." (24:56 | Zovig Garboushian)
• "Understanding our essence helps us see how much more we are than how we typically see ourselves." (28:28 | Zovig Garboushian)
• "Once we start to understand ourselves at the level of essence, we can then take things or leave things. We can see where we have freedom in our choices. We can move through doubt with more fluidity and ease. We are okay that there is no there for us to get to, and we can connect with the answers that we already have inside us." (31:37 | Zovig Garboushian)
