Introduction
As a coach, I am lucky to have amazing conversations with my clients, watching them have aha moments, and change the story they have about themselves. Conversations are a very important part of bringing about shifts and changes, and provide a springboard for a new Way of Being. Through them the people I am in a coaching relationship with are often able to see themselves differently and be able to do things differently.
A crucial part of what we talk about is how they can keep developing, and building their skill and capacity beyond our meetings. You can thing of it as a unique personal development and training plan, based on the premise of....
How we change or stay the same
We act in certain ways, and the practices we engage in turn us into the kind of person we are. These inform what we value, the commitments we make, how we react, who we have relationships with and how those relationships are. All of this can be thought of as our natural and normal comfortable reactions to everything. And because of all these things we pay attention to certain things (who and how we are as observers) and not others. And because we pay attention to certain things we act in certain ways.
So we can think of this as a cycle.... and this cycle is no problem if things are working for us. But, when this cycle stops working for us, we don't have to be trapped. To quote a very famous scientist “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results”.
Why this blog
This blog is a way to have a conversation with you. As part of that I will offer you some things to read, ways to observe yourself, and new things to practice. In that way you can choose to change or stay the same, being able to choose which suits you better. I hope you enjoy it and would love to hear from you.
