I'm in a Coactive state of mind... it's giving Billy Joel at MSG.
Over the weekend I assisted an online Fundamentals course through CTI where I did my coach training and certification.
What a joy to be immersed in the learning again! Fundamentals is the first course in the program, it's the prerequisite for all of CTI's trainings and certifications. We had 22 humans come to class on Friday, quietly closed and wary. We ended the day Sunday by sending the same 22, now glowing (a few tear streaked), open hearted humans out into the world.
The coactive coaching model is a magical method of getting at the real real underneath. It's not about solving your problems or "helping" you. It's about empowering you to explore and grow so that whatever you are struggling with is easier to manage. YOU get bigger, the issue gets smaller. It's about BEING as much as doing. And it works. It works for creatives, for artists, for small business owners... and it works in corporate settings as well. As a matter of fact, in all of my coactive trainings, the majority of coaches I met worked in corporate.
So even though I spent my weekend staring at a screen for 23 hours, I'm starting my week energized, invigorated, excited to coach my clients and with a renewed sense of hope and faith in humanity.
I'll leave you with the first question we started our coaches-in-training out with, "What is your dream?" but I'll add (and this one is for you to ponder), "what would be possible if you were more empowered to step over whatever hurdles are in your way?"
