Mignon Thomas (or better known as Coach MT) is one of the coaches that we found this month and we did a little interview with her. She impressed us with her persistance and innovativeness.
Her transformative journey from mental health nursing to pioneering coaching excellence exemplifies her immense dedication to healing and empowerment. After 15 years in the mental health field, and driven by personal battles with anxiety, depression, and profound loss, she founded the Simply The Best Coach Academy. Their mission? To provide a beacon of hope and practical guidance for those (especially coaches) who are navigating their own challenges.
Her approach is pretty unique. What distinguishes her from other coaches is not only her deep seated understanding of mental wellness but also her innovative methods. By blending traditional psychological principles with cutting edge technology, including AI driven analytics and interactive platforms, she offers a personalized coaching experience free from cookie cutter solutions.
Her clients consistently report enhanced clarity, improved relationships, and a renewed sense of purpose, thanks to the coach’s unique ability to integrate mental, emotional, and strategic support. Here is what she said.
Meet Life Coach Mignon Thomas:
Name: Mignon Thomas (Coach MT)
Pillar: The Spirit, The Mind, The Heart
Who is this coach for: Life coaches who want to find clarity, improve the relationship they have with themselves and with others, and awaken their sense of purpose.
How they can help: By using various coaching tools and techniques, a CRM system, and evidence based therapeutic level training.
First of all, how are you and your family doing after these Pandemic times?
Thank you for asking.
We’ve all faced challenges, but I’m grateful that we are healthy and have supported each other through these times.
It’s been a period of reflection and growth for us all.
How did the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?
The pandemic was tough on many of our clients, particularly with the isolation and the depression it brought.
We adapted by enhancing our online coaching capabilities and focusing more on stress management resilience techniques, crisis intervention activated.
Personally, it was a reflective period, adjusting to the new normal and ensuring we could still provide top notch support on demand.
What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?
The biggest lessons were the importance of adaptability and the power of community.
Being flexible in the face of challenges and leaning on each other for support have been invaluable takeaways.
I had the chance to perfect and share my signature coaching program “Pleasantly Uncomfortable”.
This program has helped many clients, coworkers, patients, friends, and of course myself.
The Origin:
Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?
My journey into coaching began from a deep desire to help others avoid the pitfalls I struggled with and overcame.
After 15 years in the mental health nursing field, I saw the transformative impact of supportive guidance and decided to establish Simply The Best Coach Academy to empower others to make meaningful changes in their lives and careers.
However, my personal struggle with anxiety and major depression, plus a major mental setback post the death of my father is my why.
If I could fall through the cracks of our healthcare system, then ordinary people certainly had no chance without a knowledgeable advocate.
What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?
One of the biggest obstacles was overcoming the grief of losing my father, my house flooding, and the death of my mother in law, all within a year’s time.
All while working in a toxic work environment in a tent due to our workplace building flooding out.
The Coaching Style:
How do you innovate with coaching your clients?
Innovation in coaching comes from combining proven psychological principles with modern evidence based practices.
We use interactive platforms, AI driven analytics for personalized insights, and continuous feedback loops to tailor our coaching to each client’s unique needs and goals.
NO Cookie cutter coaching allowed!
What’s unique about your coaching approach?
What sets our approach apart is our focus on mental wellness.
We integrate mental, emotional, and strategic coaching to ensure our clients achieve sustainable success in all areas of their life.
I have mastered navigating the mental health field better than anyone else.
I am dedicated to sharing this talent with as many people as I can before I leave this earth.
What benefits do your clients get after working with you?
Clients often report enhanced clarity about their goals, improved personal and professional relationships, and a more profound sense of purpose and self confidence after our sessions.
My Aha sessions are their favorite, an intense clarity mission.
Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?
Yes, we utilize a range of tools from CRM systems to manage client interactions efficiently, to specialized apps that help track progress and maintain engagement between sessions.
This is key to our clients success with on demand support.
As far as coaching tools, we use a variety of advanced evidence based therapeutic level training in the lane of coaching instead of therapy.
The Impact:
If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?
Prevention is pain relief.
What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?
The greatest lesson has been that growth comes from an uncomfortable place.
Embracing challenges and stepping out on faith has always led to the most significant leaps forward in my life.
Your final thoughts?
Life coaching is more than a profession, it’s a calling to guide others towards a more fulfilling life.
If you’re feeling stuck or unsure about your path, reach out.
Sometimes, all it takes is a conversation to set the wheels of change in motion.
We welcome you to an AHA Session today.
One of the major bonuses in working with me is I coach clients as well as fellow coaches, and start your journey toward a more rewarding life with us.
Our life coach certification program has a rolling enrollment while we accept life coaching clients daily!
