Carey Phoenix Life Coaching

"Join me at the Bath Business Conference 2026, where I’ll be introducing the PERFORM Framework and exploring the connection between wellbeing, mindset and sustainable performance.

After my own journey of recovery following a life-changing car accident, combined with experiences in elite sport and working within global health and corporate environments, I developed the PERFORM Framework to help individuals within organisations better understand how wellbeing influences performance.

During the workshop, we’ll explore practical topics including energy management, recovery and mindset, and why looking after ourselves is essential to performing at our best.

At Carey Phoenix Life Coaching, I’m passionate about helping people build the awareness, habits and mindset that support sustainable performance in both work and life.

I’d love to see you there.

"What if looking after yourself is what allows you to show up better for others?

Many people see prioritising their own wellbeing as something they can do later.

After the deadlines.
After the responsibilities.
After everything else is taken care of.

But when we consistently ignore our own needs, it can affect our energy, focus and ability to be present.

Looking after yourself is not about doing less or becoming less ambitious.

It is about creating the foundation to perform well and support the people around you.

Whether in work or everyday life, wellbeing influences how we show up.

At Carey Phoenix Life Coaching, I believe that taking care of yourself is an important part of sustainable performance and personal growth.

What is one thing you do to look after your own wellbeing?

"How often do you pay attention to the way you speak to yourself?

The conversations we have internally can influence how we approach challenges, setbacks and opportunities.

A negative inner voice can hold us back, while a more supportive mindset can help us build confidence and resilience.

This doesn’t mean ignoring difficulties or pretending everything is easy.

It means learning to recognise our thoughts and choosing how we respond to them.

In sport, mindset is just as important as physical preparation. The way we think can influence how we perform.

The same is true in everyday life.

At Carey Phoenix Life Coaching, I encourage people to develop greater self-awareness and build a mindset that supports growth and wellbeing.

What is one mindset shift that has helped you?

"What if moving forward doesn’t always mean moving faster?

We live in a world where being busy is often seen as a sign of success.

More tasks.
More goals.
More pressure to keep going.

But sustainable progress doesn’t always come from doing more. Sometimes it comes from taking a step back, reflecting and understanding what is truly important.

In sport, progress is not just created through effort. It comes from preparation, recovery and learning from each experience.

The same applies in everyday life and work.

Taking time to pause can help us return with greater clarity, focus and energy.

At Carey Phoenix Life Coaching, I believe that sustainable performance starts with understanding ourselves and creating habits that support our wellbeing.

What helps you stay focused on meaningful progress rather than simply staying busy?

"

"What if taking a step back could actually help you move forward?

In a world where being busy is often seen as a measure of success, slowing down can feel difficult.

But some of the biggest improvements in performance come from moments of reflection.

In sport, reviewing performance is essential.

Athletes take time to understand what worked, what didn’t and what they can improve next time.

Without reflection, it becomes easy to repeat the same patterns.

The same is true in life and work.

Taking time to pause and understand our habits, mindset and wellbeing can help us make better choices and create positive change.

Growth does not always come from doing more. Sometimes it comes from becoming more aware.

At Carey Phoenix Life Coaching, I help people develop greater self-awareness and wellbeing so they can create lasting improvements in both their personal and professional lives.

When was the last time you took time to reflect on what is working well for you?

"

"What if confidence is something we build, rather than something we simply have?

Confidence is often seen as a personality trait. Something some people naturally have and others don’t.

But through coaching and my own experiences in sport, I’ve learned that confidence is usually built through small actions repeated over time.

It comes from preparation.
It comes from learning.
It comes from trusting yourself through challenges.

Athletes develop confidence by stepping outside their comfort zone, reflecting on progress and continuing to grow.

The same applies to our personal and professional lives.

When we build self-awareness and recognise our own strengths, we create a stronger belief in what we are capable of.

At Carey Phoenix Life Coaching, I help individuals develop the mindset and confidence needed to navigate challenges, embrace growth and perform at their best.

What is something that has helped you build confidence over time?

"

"What if managing your energy is just as important as managing your time?

Many people spend their days focused on getting more done.

More tasks.
More deadlines.
More responsibilities.

But one question is often overlooked:

“How much energy do I actually have available?”

High performance is not only about how much time we put in. It is about understanding what helps us feel focused, motivated and capable of performing well.

In sport, I learned that athletes do not simply train harder. They pay attention to sleep, recovery, nutrition, mindset and preparation because these things influence performance.

The same principles apply outside of sport.

When we look after our energy, we give ourselves a stronger foundation to navigate challenges and show up at our best.

At Carey Phoenix Life Coaching, I support people in creating healthier habits and greater self-awareness so they can protect their wellbeing while achieving the things that matter to them.

What is one thing that helps you protect your energy during busy periods?

"

"What if resilience isn’t about pushing through everything, but learning how to recover and adapt?

Throughout my years in sport and coaching, I’ve learned that resilience is often misunderstood.

Many people see resilience as simply being able to keep going when things get difficult. But true resilience is not about ignoring challenges or constantly pushing harder.

It is about understanding yourself, recognising when you need to adjust and having the tools to respond positively when pressure increases.

Athletes know that performing consistently requires more than effort. It requires awareness, recovery and the ability to adapt.

The same applies to everyday life and work.

When we understand our own needs, strengths and limits, we are better equipped to handle challenges while protecting our wellbeing.

At Carey Phoenix Life Coaching, I help individuals develop the mindset, resilience and wellbeing strategies that allow them to perform at their best in a sustainable way.

What does resilience mean to you, pushing through, adapting, or knowing when to pause?
