Coaching is a mental lab and a gym for the mind. Coaching builds mental strength and dexterity. Coaching is a mirror. It’s a sandbox. A dressing room. A place to experiment.
Coaching isn’t about the coach’s answers. Coaching is about your answers. It’s about learning more about yourself, warts and all. Coaching isn’t about the coach’s expertise. It’s about learning to become an expert of yourself.
Coaching isn’t a traditional, hierarchical relationship. Coaching is a flat, horizontal relationship. Coaching isn’t about seeking external validation. Coaching is producing internal introspection.
Coaching practices non-violent communication. We learn how to improve our emotional intelligence.
Coaching is learning to trust, change, and be vulnerable. Coaching is learning to learn. Coaching explores ideas, values, meaning, and freedom. Coaching feels, plays, accepts, and evolves.
