Boy just loved the movie ” Secret”. And last year I was so sure that by changing the mindset and using affirmations followed by some action my practice will fly.  It flew, like the joke with pigs flu, but at low altitude, somehow discrete and now I can see the ground very easy.

As coaches we are trained in schools to coach people without giving them any solution. Let me tell you that this one of the biggest misleading teaching, often used by purists and some other unsuccessful graduates that will only follow a stupid misunderstanding of what a service provider is.

Let us review the issue here, why in world somebody who has no clue on certain items from his personal agenda would hire somebody and pay for hearing: the answer is in you?

So the conclusion is, take this huge opportunity of inspiring people, and ask permission to show them the light.

My 2 cents…

 A client of mine recently shared with me that she got three positive answers related to some coaching projects that she was working on some weeks ago.

For a coach it is hard during sessions, when you listen to clients struggle and somehow this situation looks with low chances considering the economic period.

Despite the good news though we sometimes accept them with fear and get concerned about the future steps. Back in 1991 when I got my US entry visa, I remember the struggle and feeling of unknown overwhelming me.

There is a delay between any effort or desire and the result, once we see the outcome we need to stay in the now and celebrate.

We are experiencing now some tough times however the future will bring some good news, are we ready for them?

A couple of days ago I was in my way to see a coaching client when a humble guy approached my car with a very nice wooden chariot, handmade asking me if I want to buy it. The little chariot was very nice and I asked how much? 15 $ he said and I thought this is realy cheap estimating the amount of craftsmanship involved.

Took me 5 more minutes to get some cash from a machine and got back happy to buy this for my daughter Ana.

Before my departure the guy asked for my help and I asked what kind of help? Well, he said, I have a son who is 20 and looking for a job. Immediately I asked him, what about this one, to be with you here. Sadly he said, no, he is ashamed of coming and selling this with me.  I walked towards my car thinking about this and wondering myself : is it so wrong to sell your own creation? What is the real problem ?

In my way back I got stopped by a man who asked me if I sell the charriot, instictively I said yes, 30$, the guy reached his wallet when I stopped him saying, just kidding, not for sale!

Last night I finished my 3rd supervision coaching session, in darkness. I started in daylight, however during the call I felt unsure, eventually I pulled the client off. I remeber my glory days when being a trainer you are always in control and feel the position you have in the class as a dominant and powerfull one. How false, you can only be you and the client will be connected with this, last night as I mentioned I asked permission to put tough questions.

My client was happy, and I was in darkness which explains in a way how we coaches feel during intervention.

The good news? I feel great NOW!

Cheers!

Hey, this is cool, finally, what is going on? Not much, just saw the last TED talk with Seth Godin, great stuff.

On June 17th, in Bucharest we organize ICF Romania conference, following the global one from Montreal, in which I saw the first time our national flag up.

Coaching is growing fast, 4 years ago when I started I was skeptical, now I can see the outcome.

The point is not about asking anybody to change is more on global conversations, more to come…
