 Hi there, Jeff Watts here and I'm here to announce the winners of my agile coaching cards competition So a while ago I added some new decks to my agile coaching cards app and these five decks were all taken from my book The Coaches casebook so each deck focused on positive affirmations tools techniques quotes Powerful questions all associated with five of the traits from my popular book The Coaches casebook and we launched the competition so anybody who tweeted their favorite card from any of those decks and explained why it was their favorite would be entered into a draw to win a free deck of cards on my app the agile coaching cards app so we're now at the point where we can release and Tell people who've won It's international coaching week Coming up. So we've got five winners. We had so many entries. We thought well, let's give five winners out so I'm going to tell you who they are which of their cards are the favorite and And they can then claim their prize Drum roll, please Can anybody guess new chairs? No So first up we have Andreas whittler Probably pronounced fitler, but I'm not an expert And and he actually tweeted quite a few cards So he really increased his chances of winning by tweeting quite a few but the one that I think he seemed to really latch on to was What if what you have to offer is just what the world needs Who are you to withhold that? And that's from the imposter syndrome deck People with imposter syndrome really struggle to own their own thoughts own their own successes Understand and appreciate their own worth And they're often thinking everybody else in the room is more knowledgeable more skillful more worthy than they are And a lot of their success has been down to luck. And so they will hold their thoughts But turning that that idea of sharing your opinion sharing what you have to offer more in terms of an obligation And you're letting down the world if you don't do this How can you judge what you have to offer? Who are you to do that? Give someone a different perspective on whether or not they're comfortable to share their opinion So if you are someone who struggles to be assertive struggles to own their own voice Maybe thinking about it in that perspective could be helpful Nice tweet Andreas. Thank you for joining into the competition get in touch and claim your free deck of cards The second winner is Maria Paola Sorrentino. A great name and her Twitter handle is at agile gardener So she picked something from the people pleases deck And she picked the powerful question is pleasing others always the same as helping others And she said that's important to her because it's very easy to mistake pleasing others for helping others And you don't realize what you're doing is not helpful Sometimes telling people what they want to hear or doing something for them Is actually going to set them back when actually what they really need is to hear The truth or hear some things slightly more difficult or perhaps To learn that they have the capacity to achieve something themselves And people pleases can find it quite difficult to give that difficult message And so reframing that as i'm helping that's my overall desire as a people pleaser is to help I'm helping by not pleasing them can be an interesting way of looking at the same situation And helping bringing that people pleasing trait back into balance Remember it's not about not pleasing people. It's not about being someone that goes around upsetting people pleasing people is a valuable trait But we don't want to get in the way of us being successful and helping people So thank you Maria Paola Great quote that you've picked out there. Get in touch for your free deck of cards on the agile coaching cards app The third winner is Thomas Krause or Thomas Krause I'm doubling up on the pronunciation options increasing my chances of being right His twitter handle is Tommy K And he chose what would be the impact of reducing by 10 percent the standards you set for yourselves And he said he loves that because he's going to be using that in the coming days having it in mind He might accomplish more with more impact. Now, I'd like to know whether he did and hopefully that was helpful to him We'll find out but again, thanks for entering Tommy or Thomas get in touch and you can claim your free deck of cards on the agile coaching cards app Our fourth winner was Damian Crawford twitter handle elfigo I'm intrigued as to what's behind that twitter handle, but that's just me being nosy And he picked something which again was from the perfectionism deck He picked a quote from Harriet Breaker, which I put in there, which is striving for excellence motivates you Striving for perfection is demoralizing So he's looking at the motivational aspects of the perfectionism trait All of our traits can be helpful to us as well as being Unhelpful to us So looking at our perfectionism trait The more we push for the more we're likely to achieve The more we push for totality The more quickly we're likely to achieve things. So these things are helpful to us They don't let us settle for mediocrity. They really push us forward, but But if we have them out of balance, then it can have a massively demoralizing impact on us So bringing things back into a more healthy helpful balance It's obviously something that Damian picked up on and I'm really glad that he picked that one out Hopeful that it helped him and looking forward to him getting in touch so he can claim his free deck of agile coaching cards And our final winner Was saline von der austen Again, maybe got the pronunciation wrong apologies And she picked something from imposter syndrome She picked a quote from michelle obama. So the former first lady And someone as successful as her with a best-selling book Who's been first lady of the united states Even she struggles with imposter syndrome and she calls it out and she says you never get over it Okay, it doesn't go away that feeling that you shouldn't take me that seriously. What do I know? And she goes on to say I share that with you because we all have doubts in our abilities about our power And what that power is It's incredibly normal. It's incredibly human To doubt yourself. It's incredibly helpful to doubt yourself You're certainly not going to come across as arrogant. You're not going to make stupid mistakes You're not going to alienate people and rub people up the wrong way, but if it becomes too much Too out of balance your imposter syndrome takes hold then you'll stop yourself from putting yourself out there You won't take risks. The stress levels will be unmanageably high So the cards in that deck will hopefully help people bring their imposter syndrome into something more of a healthy balance You're able to get the positives from it without it overwhelming them So those are our five winners.
