Weekend Two of the Life Coaching Course is now upon us. I am looking forward to it very much following on from my dipping of my toe into the coaching water, albeit as an observer, last month. You will already have read the post from David Evans on how he found that first weekend and here is another viewpoint from student Judy Hoskins:
"Alarming, Brilliant, Coachee, Demanding, Elucidating, Frightening, Group, Hopeless, Intriguing, Job, Knowledge, Leading, Mindful, Nurturing, Organising, Paraphrasing, Questions, Reflection, Surprises, Therapy, Understanding, Voice, What, X-factor, Yes, Zeal.
A Coach friend who has put off doing anything about her business for months has suddenly gone into overdrive and got herself busy. Another friend has finally laid her problems with her daughter to rest by refusing to get involved in her 'games'. Am I taking credit for all of this? No, not really, I am simply delighted to find myself and my loved ones strangely and newly empowered to get things done and make life better. Perhaps it was something in the Harwich air that somehow wafted back to Leigh with me. I don't know, but I do like it.
I am really looking forward to the coming weekend and meeting everyone again and getting my coaching top-up".
May I add my own comment here? I had something unexpected to deal with a couple of weeks ago that normally would have thrown me into a panic, but I sat down, had a think and remembered what I had heard from Lynette and Meg and just putting into place and practising what they had discussed, enabled me to come up with a plan that helped put my mind at ease.
Now, if that can happen after just one weekend, just imagine what you can do when you have finished the entire course.....
