Periscope Life Coaching

Happy Friday! 👋🏾 One of my clients recently asked me if I had it all together and had a perfect life since I was a Life Coach. 👀 I think that’s a common misconception people have: that as Life Coaches, we don’t have problems or challenges. That’s false! I am similar to most people in that I have my fair share of challenges - I face uncertainty, worry, doubt, confusion, sadness, etc. just like everyone else. The difference is, as a Coach, I have the tools and strategies to overcome my obstacles and transition my mindset fairly quickly to see situations for what they really are, and in a more positive light. I’ve also learned how to kick myself into gear if I find myself procrastinating or getting in my own way of achieving my goals.

So, while my life is not perfect, I do have the advantage of knowing how to take lemons 🍋 and turn them into sweet, delicious lemonade!And I can help you do the same if you’re struggling with anything that’s keeping you from reaching your full potential, achieving your goals, or from being your utmost happiest in life. I’m here to help you obtain the tools to live your best life. Call me 📞 today.

Happy Valentine’s Day!! Whether you’re married, in a relationship or single, find ways to love on yourself a little today too! 🥰

I wanted to share this great Forbes article about ways to practice self-love, which include things I regularly tell my clients to try, like eliminating your negative self-talk, starting a gratitude journal and celebrating your small wins. Check out the article for other ways to show yourself some love today and everyday. ❤️

The primary reason people don’t hire a Life Coach isn’t because they don’t need one. It’s because they don’t understand what coaches do and how one can help them. The truth is, most people are doing their best to “figure it all out”. Life can be tough, but wouldn’t it be great if there was someone to help you on this crazy journey? Someone who can help you remove the barriers that stand in the way of you reaching your full potential - like self-doubt, procrastination, lack of confidence, depression, etc. Someone who can help you achieve your goals and provide guidance on how you can use your unique talents, skills and knowledge to create the life you’ve always wanted, and become the best version of YOU.

Periscope Life Coaching I help women get all they can out of life. As women, we can get stuck in a rut, doing and providing for everyone else but ourselves, and putting others' needs first before ours. I help them get that "spark" back and discover what truly makes them happy.

As we enter a new year, there are things we must leave behind in order to truly make room for the best version of ourselves and everything amazing that life has to offer. I’m wishing you a year of renewal, success and good fortune. However, the best way to ensure that you experience these things in 2023 is to leave behind the below.

1. Leave behind worry and regret and focus on living in the present. Worry and regret live in the future and the past, and cause unnecessary stress, since you can’t predict, nor should you dwell on what may or may not happen. And while you can’t change the past, you can work to make different choices going forward. Focus on what's right in front of you and enjoy the NOW.

2. Leave behind grudges you have for people who have wronged you. 2023 is the year to forgive them, release the hurt they’ve caused you, and go into this year with a fresh outlook and a softened heart. You'll feel lighter and overall happier.

3. Leave the need to please others behind. Be okay with saying NO in the new year. If there are situations that don't serve you, or things you simply prefer not to do for whatever reason, there's nothing wrong with advocating for yourself and choosing not to do them.

4. In 2023, leave the need to complain behind. This may sound harsh, but we're a society that loves to complain about things more than we compliment them. For instance, if we get bad service at a restaurant, we're likely to complain either to a manager or post on social media. But if the service was good, it's less likely that we'll brag to a manager about the great service we received. Let this year be the year you show gratitude and focus on the things you're truly grateful for each day.

Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas!

We’re in the final months of 2022. In fact, there are only 7 weeks left of this year. I bet there’s something you’ve been wanting to do all year, maybe even for a few years now, but for whatever reason, you just haven’t executed on it. Is it due to fear of failure? Maybe you doubt yourself and whether or not you’ll be successful. Could simple procrastination be at fault?

If you’re waiting for “the perfect time” to start working towards your goals, understand that no time will be “perfect.” But, the “right” time is NOW. Life is fleeting. It’s flying by, and it seems the older we get, the quicker the years go by. So, stop putting off what you want to do, create some urgency as tomorrow is not promised to us, and take a step towards your goals TODAY.

Stop thinking about the outcome of your efforts before you even get started! Set a goal and create a plan to accomplish it. Then, just get started with small steps until you achieve your goal. Try not to get overwhelmed with the big-picture, just set small milestones for yourself and celebrate the journey as you accomplish each step.

🚨Freedom Friday!! 🚨

Happy Friday everyone! In my experience, everyone has things they need to let go of. Oftentimes, we tend to hold on to our past, hold grudges against people who have wronged us, or maybe we can’t seem to eliminate limiting beliefs that are preventing us from reaching our full potential. Whatever the case may be, it’s time to release and become free of those things/that negativity that’s been weighing you down.

Today, I want you to practice becoming free of your “fear of the unknown”. With the state of the world today - like the current war taking place between Ukraine and Russia, being in the midst of inflation, gun violence at an all time high, etc. - it’s natural to be scared and worried about not knowing what the future holds. However, try to release that fear, as these are things that are beyond your control, and instead replace that fear with being mindful and strategic about things within your control. For instance, with regard to inflation, figure out what YOU can do to combat it. Try setting and sticking to a budget while prioritizing your needs. Things that are a luxury, and not a necessity, can be cut back so you have more money for the things you truly need.

Also, while you can’t control the increase in violence taking place lately, consider creating a plan for your family so you’re at least more prepared if you’re ever in danger.

The bottom line is, while fear of the unknown is understandable, it does nothing but cause you anxiety and stress when you’re unable to control the outcome anyway. Focus on what you can control, and what difference you can make in your portion of the world, and free yourself of the rest. Be cautious, but don’t let fear prevent you from living your life.

Hey Everyone! 👋🏾It's been a while since I've updated this page, so I wanted to hop on to give you an update on what's been going on, and assure you that while I've been kind of quiet on social, I've been hard at work on the back-end, still offering my clients the best coaching that I possibly can, and providing tools and strategies to help them improve their lives as well as themselves.

🚨A few things that I've been up to:

👉🏾I recently partnered with a company called Placement, and I'm now one of the selected coaches on their platform, offering their clients the same great insight and solutions that my Periscope clients expect and receive. My 15+ years as a PR professional - consulting and coaching CEOs and execs - along with my years as a Life Coach, makes this partnership a perfect fit. Don't worry, my Periscope clients are still priority and I'm still available for you all as I've always been. Check out my page, here: https://www.placement.com/coaches/lanesha-gipson?refcode=Cb7kTEa

👉🏾I recently conducted a Podcast interview on The Awkward Mom Stage Podcast where I talked about my life as a mom and coach, and offered tips on how moms can make themselves a priority, in addition to their families, and balance it all. The interview is scheduled to air next week, so stay tuned for more details. In the meantime, check out The Awkward Mom Stage Podcast, where host Lola Nicole talks about life, motherhood and everything in between.

We’re nearly halfway through the year 🤯, and I know a lot of you thought this year would be different. You probably thought you’d get out of your rut, feel more motivated and actually get things done this year. You likely had plans to start your business, or finally get healthier, or maybe just do the things you intended on doing in previous years, but haven’t gotten around to doing them, but now we’re at mid-year and things look very similar to last year, and the year before, and even the year before that. You just can’t seem to get unstuck! 🥹

One thing I do know for sure…if you keep doing the same things, the same way, you’ll end up with the same results. 💯If you don’t do something to help get yourself out of the slump you’re in, you’ll never progress and your life will be just where it is today. But no worries! That’s why I’m here. I help women who are unmotivated, unfulfilled or unhappy with any aspect of their lives, get past that stage to finally achieve their goals and create amazing, happy lives. 🥰 If there’s something standing in the way of reaching your full potential, such as depression, anxiety, self-doubt, lack of confidence, etc. I can help you overcome those barriers in order to live your best life! 💃🏽

Hey there! I see that you have a really great business idea, so why haven’t you started it? I heard you have amazing gifts and talents, so why aren’t you using them to do something you love? I heard you’re considering transitioning careers, so why haven’t you pursued it?

I’ll tell you why. Because you continue to doubt yourself. You doubt that you’re as amazing as you really are, or that you’ll actually succeed at the things you attempt. You’re afraid to take the risk or leap of faith because you think you’ll fail.

Listen, DO NOT let self-doubt stop you from achieving your goals. You are more than capable, extremely intelligent and talented enough to do anything you want to do. And guess what, you’re strong enough to pick yourself back up and try it again if things don’t go exactly as you plan. When you start to doubt yourself, remember that every super successful person has failed at whatever their craft is, numerous times, but they believed in themselves enough to keep going. Today, these same people are the wealthiest CEOs, biggest celebrities, and most influential figures in the world. So, I encourage you to be confident in yourself and your abilities, eliminate your self-doubt and go after your dreams!

Need help eliminating self-doubt? I can give you tools and strategies to help transition your mindset and start trusting in yourself. DM me if you want to chat.

Wishing all the mothers and mother figures a Happy Mother’s Day! May your day be filled with lot’s of love, pampering and most important, REST…after all, you deserve it. ❤️❤️
