Hi Simon,

 

Welcome to this weeks Get COACHd on Friday.

I am about to meet a client for the first time. This is somebody that I have been wanting to work with for some time and I am feeling slightly anxious.

I should know better, as I have been coaching for years and have had lots of meetings like this.

I still get jittery and excited.

Taking a step back, I remember that I need to ensure that I am there for my client both in person and mentally.

Preparation of my state is so key. I remember a quick trick that can help me.

Not having time for a full body meditation, I do have time to focus on breathing.

I close my eyes and focus on an imaginary pulsating light that moves in and out as my chest expands and contracts. I concentrate on reducing the pulses and find that my breathing rate has also slowed.

I feel more in control, and more in the moment for my session.

This short form of meditation is useful. For those that may have jumped into virtual reality, there is an app called Tripp that does just this. It links visual stimuli to breathing and presence. Tripp also is available for mobile (Android or iPhone).

As you explore the importance of breathing – I hope you can explore perhaps the new sensations that this can bring.

Enjoy the play and now to the reading!

The Startling Power of Facing Your Fears and How that Impacts Your Whole Life

“I saw that you were perfect, and so I loved you. Then I saw that you were not perfect, and I loved you even more.” ~Angelita Lim I’m not a perfect parent. I’m not a perfect partner. I’m not in perfect health. I’m not a perfect friend. And I’m far from perfect with my finances. Hell, nothing about my life is perfect. And guess what? I’ll never be able to…

Coaching Development and Supervision – NEW coaches

Express Interest

If you are early in your coaching journey, perhaps thinking about accreditation – this group is for you. Mixing with other new coaches, we will provide a learning environment that you can grow and have conversations about growth.

You will also have a space for your ongoing supervision in a group format. Certainly when I started out – I had more questions than answers and having a group of people that I would trust to bounce thoughts, insecurities and plans off was useful.
