Short overview

Kim Ades shares what inspired her to start Frame of Mind Coaching® and why she chose that brand name, reflecting her focus on reshaping clients’ thoughts and beliefs. She describes her coaching as intensive and personalised, ideal for executives wanting fast results. Through weekly recorded calls and daily journaling, her clients reflect on their behaviours and deepen their relationship with their coach, fostering significant growth.

Talking about common mistakes, Kim highlights that leaders often overlook the importance of developing coaching skills and instead focus too much on their expertise and strategy, failing to provide the necessary support to their team.

When discussing the best time for coaching, Kim suggests leaders seek help when they feel isolated, constantly face issues with others, feel unfulfilled despite achievements, or neglect personal well-being. She identifies four main struggles-neglecting health, sleep, fun, and experiencing ‘slippage’ in essential life areas. For those facing these challenges, she offers a 10-week program aimed at significant change and achieving a balanced and successful lifestyle.
