Unexpected coaching session.
I had my first experience of being able to apply some of the skills I learned today. I sat with a member of my staff who has gone through a divorce. He started to talk about wanting to get back into art; something he studied many years ago at university. I asked what was stopping him and he said ‘lack of confidence’ I asked some more questions and before I knew it he’d told me about how his father always made him feel like he was never good enough. He later joined the army to impress his Dad with something manly, but hated it. That fear of judgement is so deep. I felt totally out of my depth the more questions I asked! I was trying desperately to recall the 4 pillars and everything in between and my mind went blank! I know it’s going to take practice, but how do you reach a point where you say ‘I’m ready’, and have you ever had a session where it all falls apart?
