When I take on a client, one of the first things we discuss, is what areas of your life are you wanting to change and grow in? What goals do you have that you want to focus on? What dreams and longings do you want to see fulfilled?
All of these questions are related to one major theme, that is, transformation. This is the essence of coaching and its power. You and I can have conversations that can lead to genuine real and lasting change.
Transformation is a strong word. it means a thorough or dramatic change. One of the most popular examples of transformation is the caterpillar cocooning and then becoming the butterfly. A complete change has occurred. The potential within is now demonstrated on the outside. The caterpillar had the butterfly potential all along.
You are also filled with incredible potential. There is a deep reservoir of life running through you. Some call this your spirit, or soul. Whatever we call it, we are aware that this innate potential is there. It is experienced inwardly as something I desire to become or do.
The power of coaching is centered around the idea that we can work together to help steward that inner potential into an outer life change. The dream within really is the blueprint for the person you are to become. It may look a lot different, as dramatic as the caterpillar and the butterfly. We all know that if we were meant to fly with vivid colors instead of squirm along the ground, that we would rather fly!
The cocooning experience is really just a time that you say, I am ready. It's now time to work on me and allow the inner changes to occur so that my life can be what I envision it to be. This is not really dissatisfaction with yourself or a self-judgment. It is actually self-realization. An awakening of sorts, and now I cannot be who I have been, I have to allow this inner reality of who I am, to come bursting out in transformation.
If this idea creates a stirring in you, then you might be in a place in your life, where coaching of this kind, could be what you're being drawn to. If this is the case, I would be happy to have an initial conversation with you to explore the possibilities.
Reach out to me on the coaching section of my webpage or just sent a message. Maybe this is a season of transformation for you, we don't want to miss it!
