Tears came to my eyes on Wednesday. No, not over our performance at the Olympics, but to hear the huge leaps my newest coaching client has made.
In just a little more than a month her goals have shifted from developing more self worth and identity, to developing a better relationship with her new partner...
Now this !
Me sitting listening to the first 5 minutes of our session, with her telling me how her relationship had just taken a quantum development.
As she sat, relaxed, easy, moving slower than she had done the first time we met, face filled with colour, and such a contrast to the strained white tense skin she brought at our first 30 minute meet. There was a sense of calm around her. A different twinkle in her eyes. A security in her tone of voice
At previous session, through deconstructing and reconstructing her language. Introducing her to different habits of words, and patterns of expression she had discovered a safe way to tell her parner how much she felt.
At first session I had suggested that she read about the Five Love Languages an amazing book with such simple yet profound advice
Another session we spent exploring safe ways she could sit within a bubble of protection, and listen without responding through emotion. Now, here she was in front of me, telling me that she had pulled it together with the outcome that she felt authentic.
She felt relaxed and happy because she was able to express herself without fear.
Being a coach, sometimes my role is directly involved in enabling business development, othertimes, specifically around divorce issue.
At all times my work is about change. Hence the name of the this post.
The more things change...........
Small change.... small steps leading to big change. Positive change, and happy change too.
What a great session, what a great job it is to be a coach
