Taming Your Gremlin

So it's been ages since I've been "blogging" and lets just say I've been at war with BT and Sky since August!

What's been happening then. I had 3 really successful months with a client who since we started has now got loads more confidence, is clearer about where she wants to go in her career and has a social calender that makes me feel old and boring!

It shows again the power coaching and how the simple things really work. The space to allow people to focus on solutions that they come up with. I'm merely the sound board who directs the sound back to the client in a constructive way that helps them see clearly.

I've just sent her summary report of the last 3 months, which was great to do. It really showed how far people can move forward and what a huge difference it can make to their lives.

One of my big passions of starting coaching was to help people leave with a bag of tools they could use in the future. A place they could go to read the experience again, or a technique they could remember and use if effectively in a given situation. It might be a visualiasation or a breathing exercise or it could be remembering to laugh!

These "tools" are so important and are often the insights people have on the journey, the click, the moment the light goes on and it becomes clear. For me these were the moment I went from panick to crystal clear clarity (hence the name!). It gives purpose and energy and gets you looking forward instead of being caught in the head lights like a terrified rabbit!

So my task now is my committment to read the Taming Your Gremlin book that i have been meaning to read for ages. So watch this space for some feedback and bits i pick up
