One small thing
The newsletter for busy people
Dr Lucinda Homer Coaching
Hello there,
It’s Monday and my new newsletter is here.
Each week I share things that have made me stop and think.
There will be a weekly coaching prompt. I invite you to have a think about the prompt and write something down in your journal (a great excuse for new stationary!) It is a fantastic way to unpack your thoughts.
I do not expect you to have time to do everything. Just doing one small thing might be all that you need to have a positive impact on your week.
Something to read...

"How to spot potential"
Many employers say they will identify and help you fulfil your potential - but what do they mean?
I was bursting with potential when I left my job!
Coaching Prompt
"What can you let go of while still doing the work?"
Thank you to my last spin class for this prompt. The instructor asked the question as we were working hard on a climb! He offered suggestions of letting go of the tension in your neck, shoulders, or hands. Or can you let go of something, you are thinking, that is stopping you from performing at your best?
What a brilliant coaching prompt for every day at work or in your personal life.
3 songs long
The story behind “3 songs long” is that I love my online Peloton spin classes and the feature that allows me to "like" a song as we spin. The “likes” link to my Spotify playlist and stop me forgetting the songs, which I am prone to do! Sometimes it’s recent music and sometimes it's a song that I haven’t heard in ages. I update “3 songs long” on a regular basis.
I chose 3 songs for the playlist because it lasts for 10 minutes (ish). That 10 minutes is the perfect length of time for you to either listen, relax, do an exercise snack, walk round the block, or do anything you fancy to music (go wild with your imagination). You can listen to my playlist or make one of your own.
One of the things, that I think is so important, in my pillars of wellbeing is to choose something that works for me and to try and do one small thing every day.
Try it and see what happens.
That's it.
I would love to know what you think. Just let me know in the comments.

What is coming up?
Join me on Monday 13th November at 12:00 (GMT) on Zoom
In this live webinar I will take you through the process, that took me from googling "What other jobs can a doctor do?" to changing my career and creating the life that I wanted to lead.
I will give you actionable steps for you to get there too.
In my 40s I was stuck and desperately wanted my life to change, but I was unsure of what I could do. I felt trapped.
I read so many books, listened to podcasts and attended courses and workshops. I effectively coached myself. Boy, did it take a long time. 7 years in fact.
This webinar condenses all my learning into these themes:
✶ Curiosity and longing
✶ Understanding emotions and doing the work
✶ Trying something new
✶ Self care
✶ Creative thinking
✶ Values and confidence
✶ Courage and calm
✶ Renegotiation and setting boundaries
✶ Finding your groove
And all in 90 minutes NOT 7 years!
Career, midlife, wellbeing - I've got you covered.
The cost is £20.
I plan to record it and it will be available for you to watch again later. If you have paid and cannot attend on the day, I will still make the recording available to you.
You can ask questions in advance, so that you can learn what you really want to know. Get in early so that I can make this webinar bespoke.
