Did you know that a Harvard Business School study found that participants who journalled at the end of the day had a 25% increase in performance?
I didn’t need much encouragement to be more consistent with my reflective journaling – it’s a habit I’ve adopted and found helpful over many years, though it’s not always a daily or even weekly practice.
Recently I attended a webinar by Jackee Holder, outlining the benefits of using journalling with clients in my coaching practice. There is significant evidence demonstrating the value of writing things down, or journalling, expressive writing, whatever you want to call it. It’s a tool that I’ve come across more in the Group Coaching space – giving individuals the time to reflect and write as part of the learning process. I’m keen to start using it more with individual clients, offering them the opportunity to write instead of talking – sometimes it opens different thoughts when you write.
Tell me, would you be interested in a few minutes of writing thoughts down, instead of talking to your coach? Does your brain process differently when you are talking vs writing?
If you’re here because you’re thinking about investing in yourself and working with a coach, I’d like to congratulate you – that first step of admitting it might be something that would help is a Big One.
