COACH ELAINE YOUNG
Don't be afraid to let go of the good to go for something great
As a seasoned ironman triathlete, a dedicated mom, experienced corporate leader, I am a true believer that our best performance is only possible when we achieve balance and fulfilment in both our personal and professional life.
In my corporate career as a tax leader for big accounting firms and a FTSE100 company, I went through a journey of overcoming my own self-limiting insecurities to find my authentic voice and leadership style. While I lead global teams to achieve amazing results, my true fulfilment comes from empowering and nurturing individuals to lean in and show up as their best self.
In the sport of triathlon, I found true fulfilment and success only when I let go of my fears and expectations and redefined my limits of what was possible. At the age of 24, I went from someone who was bogged down by work, inactive (i.e. I didn’t know how to swim or bike), to a multiple Ironman finisher and 2x Iron man world championship Kona qualifier by 32. While some might focus on my collection of podium medals, the real "win" for me has been the mindset, resilience and discipline that I learned which has had transformative benefits in all areas of my life.
Why am I passionate about coaching?
I have experienced the amazing outcomes that can happen when you live mindfully, intentionally, and constantly challenge your limits. There is nothing I would love more than to pay this forward. As both a triathlon coach and a life coach, I'm passionate about helping others to unlock their full potential not just in sports but in all aspects of life.
What makes me different?
I don't just coach the athlete but I coach the whole person, using a holistic approach. On top of providing a customised training plan, I provide dedicated coaching sessions to elevate your mindset and explore other areas of your life such work, relationship health, etc. This will include defining and articulating your values, identify the beliefs that are/have been stopping you from realising your full potential and co-developing a toolkit that allows you to live the life you want, one with intention, authenticity and fearlessness. Using this approach, I guarantee you will experience more sustainable and meaningful shifts and transformations - whether in the boardroom, race course or in everyday life.
Let's spend some time together to discover what is possible over a 45 minute complimentary call. You will be empowered to talk about your life and desires and I will familiarise you with the coaching process and what it will be like to be coached by me. Together we can mutually decide whether this partnership is the right fit. Book your first session here - https://calendly.com/elainewyoung/discovery
