Kate James is a business coach, author, and meditation teacher as well as a self-confessed introvert. She’s built a career over 15 years as more of a ‘low-key kind of coach’ who helps her clients ‘get motivated but not in a high-fiving ‘ra-ra’ kind of way’. What she has come to realise is that – by playing to her strengths as a quiet, grounded, and intuitive person – she has attracted the right people to her and is able to truly serve them.

Mindfulness is a word that gets thrown around a lot these days, and Kate’s practical explanation of how to bring it into your life and her soft spoken wisdom just resonated so deeply with me. I was so grateful when she agreed to be on the podcast to chat about mindfulness, especially in the midst of a looming deadline for her third book.

 

In this episode, we chat about:

  • What mindfulness actually is and Kate’s own approach to mindfulness;
  • How to be mindful instead of mind full (especially if you are an internal processor and prone to overthinking);
  • How to be seen in your business in amongst all the noise as a more introverted person;
  • Why really understanding and accepting yourself and your strengths can really serve you and your clients;
  • The importance of giving yourself permission for down time and re-energising.
