How I Coach Coaching Options for Living Gently ... With Abandon
A casual intensity - then and now . . .
|
A
casual intensity - a word pair
that may SEEM unusual to find together, an oxymoron perhaps, nevertheless,
a pretty good two-word description of who I truly am as I offer my gift to
the world. You will find about me a casual style - a warmth and acceptance of who you are right now. We are often faced in life with difficult decisions in situations we have not chosen, and as human beings our choices (especially in retrospect) may not always the wisest in the world. However, I truly believe that our intention is to make the best choices we can, given who we are, and the resources of which we are aware in that moment, and so there is compassion. At the same
time, you will experience with me an intensity - one of my clients
describes my style of coaching as a fire which has the power to quickly
clear 'stuff' away to make room for new growth.
If you are ready to hear and ask yourself questions that
get to
the heart of the matter, then you will appreciate my coaching. I use real words - I abhor jargon! But because I know that 'words make worlds' - that the stories we tell about ourselves actually do play a role in the future we create - I will press you to be clear and accurate in the words you use ... that what you say about yourself, about your intentions, is actually what you mean ... and that what I think I'm hearing is what you intend for me to understand. How does this
look in real life? Wherever
you are in your lifecycle, I will
cheerlead, challenge,
support, nurture and care deeply.
I share my experience, skills, curiosity, insights, resources and
connections. As you create in your life more of what you
want, we
celebrate
together. However, if things aren't 'working out according to plan', rather than
casting around looking for someone or something to blame (to me a huge waste
of time and energy), as your coach I will
invite you to wonder what the learning,
or opportunity for healing for you in
a situation that
APPEARS unacceptable might be. To
do the challenging work of expanding your perspective and wonder how this might in fact be a 'gift'
- an opportunity to
practice your skills in dealing with challenging situations.
This shift in perspective allows you to do as my coach has taught
me - Trust. It all fits. My goal is to
attract people to me who will resonate with me be-ing - who I am; and my
style - the way I do things, so that together, we can make the biggest
difference in the most gentle, easy way -
inviting greater
aliveness! |
