I Love Coaching - The Many Gifts of Coaching

Coaching Dream Board

Last night, it was my joy to begin a coaching journey with a new coach, and I am excited about where this new journey will take me.  I have a goal in mind, and a destination, and it is my hope that, with the support of my coach, I will achieve that goal and reach my destination in a much shorter time.

Coaching is a gift. It is a sacred space and time, created especially for YOU.  And that is what a coach does. They hold a space for you. A sacred time and space that is dedicated to YOU, whoever you are, for whatever your needs are in that moment, time and space.

 Every good coach should have a coach, as well as be a coach to others, and I enjoy being coached almost as much as I love coaching. Coaching is such a wonderul and dynamic partnership.

As a coach myself, I am especially aware of the unique and beautiful relationship that develops between a coach and their client.

I like to think of coaching as a win-win-win situation.  In coaching, there are no losers.    The magic of coaching is that Everyone wins!

A coach does not set out to win.  A coachs goal is to get their client through the finishing line in first place, and they focus their energy and attention on enabling their client to do just that.

A coach's client sets out to win, but in doing so gives the gift of themself to their coach. As a client, you will share a close intimate personal relationship with your coach, laying  your soul bare in away that you will do with no other person, sure in the knowledge that whatever you share will be held safe and sacred in the arms of your coach.

Everyone around you wins!  As you start to succeed, improve and uplift in the various areas of your life, so you automatically uplift those around you.

"And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” from A Return to Love, by Marianne Williamson

I am so thankful and grateful for the new coach who has come into my life, and to all the coaches that preceded her and will follow her.  Each one has something special to offer, and each one has been gracious enough to share their gifts with me.  I thank them all and love each and every one of them, for being part of my life, and for the part they have played in helping shape me into the person I am today, and the person I am growing to be.

I am looking forward with excitement  to my own ongoing  coaching journey and I invite and encourage you to do the same!  

Happy Easter Weekend!

What Are You Excited About Today?

HelterSkelter - Easy to slide down, Tough to climb back up

HI There,
Its been a while!

Just wondering how 2014 is treating you?

For me it's already been  year of changes.

I finished up my latest Temp job, the first week in January, and, after a short break, I am happy to say that I am embarking on a new journey.  I have secured a part-time job at a "People-Building" company and I'm really excited to be working with a great bunch of new people and working in line with the vision I am creating for myself.  Not only that, but the part-time nature of the job allows me the security of a regular income together with the flexibility to build and pursue my own dreams.


Now, what about you?  What are you excited about today? And if you are not already excited, what could you choose to be excited about?

Now -I hear you saying "Its alright for you.  Your life seems to be going great".  Believe me,although I am very excited about the new direction my life is taking me in, there are still a lot of challenges in my life right now.  I could choose to focus on any one of them.  And I could choose to focus on any one of them with fear or excitement.

Topsy Turvy - How do you handle it when your world turns upside down?

When your partner is retrenched or "downgraded", your child is evicted, and your roommate is severely depressed, its so easy to focus on the downside.  But focussing on the downside just draws you into a negative spiral, a tailspin that's hard to recover from.  So why not try to focus on the positive?  It may be hard in the moment, but ultimately, it's easier to look down on things from a positive perspective than to claw your way back up from rock bottom.

On top of the world -  Its an exciting ride

So, if you are having a tough time today, can I invite you to find ONE thing to be excited about and focus your attention on?  So, let me ask again:

What are you EXCITED about today?

Hope you have a great day!  We'll chat again soon!



Love, Karen
