I just finished facilitating a leadership class for executives. At the end of the 2.5 days, as the leaders were making their final closing statements, many talked about being skeptical about coming to this class. I’ve certainly heard that before, with all the demands and pressure on them, the call to step out for a couple of days seems like exactly the wrong thing to do.
What they inevitably realize is that once they allowed themselves to surrender, just be in the class, they see that being there was exactly the right thing to do.
Even as the facilitator, I can sometimes pick up on their doubts and have a moment of insecurity. Luckily I remember to trust my intuition and my experience and the process.
Ultimately we arrive at the end with everyone glad them came and appreciative of what they now see is possible for them.
Try this ONE thing
How often do we freak out, and resist what’s happening because it feels like it’s the wrong time, the wrong place, the wrong thing?
How much easier is it to just surrender, go along and trust the process?
Are you considering coaching? I have no goal for coaching except to bring about transformation. Together we work on the lies, the self-deception, and the fears in you about money, and about the power you perceive to be outside yourself, in other people. We work on your difficulties in making decisions and your inability thus far to make bold choices in life and to follow through and trust yourself completely to do so.
The irony for some people is that the very thing that they want the coaching for (an indecisive, half-hearted life) is what’s keeping them from deciding whether to get coaching.
