I had a conversation over the weekend about coaching that went something like this:
We talked about marketing what a coach does and new ways to get the word out about our work with indivduals in our community and abroad. We came to the conclusion that although many more people would benefit from a coaching relationship the majority of people had such a comon human condition I would call, numbness.
You see being numb is the process of handling so much stress and responsibilities that there is little time to dedicate to self for reflection and problem solving of life's stresses. The majority of people choose to distract themselves away from deep reflection concerning their happiness. The distractions come in many forms which include; tv, major debt for adult toys and addictions such as alcohol or drugs legel or illegal along with many other forms of distraction. Change needs reflection, honesty with self and a commitment to change what is not working and change needs time. The time commitment to self is where there is often a coach can effectively draw out the answers needed by effective questions so there can be a much deeper understanding of crisis, assist with a healing and rebuilding more balance and happiness into the people we serve.
We both felt so passionate about our role in society as coaches and so honored to be of assistance to those who choose to welcome the work we do into their lives. We witness new beginnings, new ways of thinking and new ways of being, we are blessed.

Insightful and thought provoking comments. I agree, time for self is a valuable commodity that few take time to honor or appreciate it's value. We can learn much from our time in solitude and in deep conversation such as this.
In gratitude, love and light...
