You don’t go to your gynaecologist to get your teeth checked.
Which, let’s face it - is comforting.
You know why you are going & you mostly know what to expect. You go the bakery to buy baked goods, and to a football match to watch football.
All of this makes sense - as humans we like the safety of knowing what’s what, and what we can expect.
With coaching, it’s just not like that.
You don’t start working with a Coach because there is a set end result.
In fact working with a Coach is a real leap of faith because you are entering a brave space. A space where you are not required to have answers. A space where you are not judged for not having them, and no one is coming at you with good advice.
You can b r e a t h e, and you can finally hear yourself think.
The big question is - are you ready for it?
To not know, to sit with nuance, and to be challenged rather than rescued?
Chances are if you are living the life of being a fast paced go getter, a C- suite human who is paid to KNOW the answers, this kind of space might sound a little unnerving.
Look at the picture below - imagine standing at that opening. There is something beyond those trees. You might have an idea of what it is. You might think you just walk straight and you get there.
The reality is that there could be many potholes on the way. Maybe you wore the flimsy shoes. It starts raining. There is an overgrown bit that you think you can’t get past. Or maybe there is a little path that entices you and as you explore you discover the most beautiful clearing, and you spend some time there.
And that is what Coaching is…
You will most likely start with a specific goal in mind.
We will talk about how you might get there - what work do we need to do? What will that look like?
And then…we set off on what could be a straightforward walk, or - could end up being a whole adventure.
You decide where we stop, what we explore, and what you might want to pick up and examine en route.
I walk with you and stay curious about the journey. All sprinkled in with a good dose of humour.
It’s not for everyone. Is it for you?
I believe we evolve IN relationships - to ourselves, and one another.
