Jan 21, Coaching and Winnie the Pooh

Fri, 21 Jan 2011 06:02:34 GMT

It appears that even Winnie the Pooh understood the necessity for a coach. There is a quote where Pooh says:

“Before beginning a Hunt, it is wise to ask someone what you are looking for before you begin looking for it.” - Winnie the Pooh

Think about that for a moment.

It is one of the first questions a Life Coach asks: "what do you want?"

Many times, we really do not know the answer to that question. Oh, sure. We have a general concept of what we want, an idea. But normally, it is so vast, so broad, we can't define it in terms we can digest and it is sent to the closet of unfulfilled wishes.

How might we discover what it is we really want? This is where that "silly ole bear" hits the nail on the head: "ask someone what you are looking for."

Ask a coach. A Life Coach is trained to ask you questions that help you determine what it is you really want. They allow you to define it in terms YOU understand and by linking your values, beliefs and emotions to your wants, help you realize what that want REALLY is. Have a terrific day! Coach Stephen

Jan 18, Vast Ocean of Being Where it's ALL Good.

Tue, 18 Jan 2011 18:52:47 GMT

Recently, I participated in an exercise called "The Core Alignment Process", an experience designed to identify and explore an emotion/behavior that you would like to learn about. Using a series of questions designed to discover the value that is at the core of the emotion/behavior, a client can then bring that core value back into alignment with their other values and beliefs and transform the original objection into a positive outcome. My coach (Yes, coaches have coaches. We know the value!) sent me through the experience until I reached the core state, a place where we could go no further. All I could say was that it was, "A vast ocean of Being where it's all good." By going through this experience, I was able to recall the "vast Ocean" after we were done and attempted to transcribe the incredibly powerful and moving experience into words. The following is that description. It is unaltered and exactly as I wrote.

"Vast Ocean of Being Where It's All Good"
Dark, lightly rippled water
Shimmering from a holy
light of unseen source

Goodly darkness where
distance is seen and felt
roiling clouds creating
a cave of eternity

A being of, a painting
of, experience where
infinity seems possible
and thought is vast

Thank you for reading and have a terrific day! - Stephen

Jan 18, Move Forward!

Tue, 18 Jan 2011 05:29:40 GMT

Just a friendly note to always try and keep yourself moving forward in whatever way that works. I was asked recently what that means, moving forward? Good question. Moving forward means to be advancing your life in a positive manner. No matter how small it may be, positive motion is key. For instance, some people may like sleeping in. So, an advancement might be to wake up five minutes earlier that you once did and continue this. That's moving forward.
