Hello loves,As I develop my coaching process, one metaphor that comes up often (if you know me you know I love a good metaphor) is that working with a coach is like being in a laboratory. Rather than spending time perfecting the plan, we focus on getting into action. We could design the most perfect meal prep and exercise schedule, but if the items on your shopping list aren’t available at your local market or the gym is in an inconvenient location, your plan could fall flat on day 1. Instead I use my time with my clients as a container for experimentation. Having the tools and awareness to observe yourself and track your progress can help identify these potential pitfalls before they lead to discouragement and disappointment. It’s about being curious and engaged with the process, not attached to the method; The scientist doesn’t blame the rat for behaving differently from his hypothesis. Being flexible about how you achieve your goals is the shortcut to long term success. I provide insight and observations, but you are doing the work. And that work can and should be tailored to your natural inclinations and intrinsic motivations, not a one-size-fits-all formula. Being willing to experiment means that ‘failure’ is just more data. Healing is not a linear process so it makes sense that there will be ups and downs. The difference is that when you are paying attention you can learn from your mistakes rather than repeating them and getting stuck. When we identify the problems we can get ahead of them. And no one knows what works for you better than you do. If this sounds good to you, book a 20 minute consultation with me and we can jump right in.
