Doing the teleclasses is fun and as I am in the beginning with the FC100, it is nice to listen in and hear how to start a business, how to do a trial session, how to structure a session and more. It brought be back at how I started. Very insecure and I felt I was a fraud… I charged too little, I spent too much time, wanting to get everything done in one session.
I was counting how many coaching/therapy hours I have because of my ICF accredition and I am near to 200 hours, while my coaching work at an NLP training center in London (www.ppdlearning.co.uk) will add at least another 200 hours.
It is my life fulfillment, I love doing what I do. And isnt that a great knowing…
So, I know am looking for a peer coach and needed a topic. Of course, many topics as I have many areas where I want to further improve. I checked with my partner to get another perspective. He looked at me and asked me if it would not be great to keep my perspective of things instead of allways joining the “other side”…
I started wondering what made him think that… and then started laughing!
One of the skills I have as a coach is leaving my beliefs and values behind, stepping into the world of my client. Looking at their world and finding out about their map as this is not the territory. I belief this is really important in coaching.
But….! When running a company and dealing with a business partner, I want to stay in my perspective! I start feeling for them and tend to agree with them as I can see how they make sense out of what is going on for THEM.
So, I changed my post on the discussion board as nobody responded to my looking for a peer coach. Bill, one of the trainers, suggested I should put a more specific post which made me think on what the topic which made me ask my partner…
And, I have already two responses within a day! Getting more specific, I do that with my clients and can not help smiling when this is something I can do more of as well.
Till the next smile
