Diving deeper than I thought

This is my second time doing the challenge and I figured it would be a refresher and a motivator to kick me back into gear, what I got was way more than I thought.

I’ve just received my final report and the depth of insight has floored me once again…from affirmation and emotion to reality check and a kick up the rear.

The thing I do so well as a coach is listen to people and give their own words back to them using visual analogies. Well this time I had the same experience given to me and it made me tear up as I stepped back into my own story…

“Before anyone told you to sit still or speak faster, there was a girl who collected rocks and shells that sparkled or had something unique about them. Who chatted for hours with her nan next door. Who cared for stray animals her dad rescued from the railway, dressing dolls and dogs, caring for birds and even a lamb. Who sang as she walked, picking flowers along the way.

Now look at your work today. You help women "find their own worth, to discover their truth... each person is so valuable just by being who they are." You see what sparkles in others. You collect their unique contribution. You sing their value back to them. The child wasn't replaced. She was repurposed. Every gift you had at six is the gift you offer at every coaching session now.”

And then the reality check…

“Your office is half-reorganised because YOU are half-reorganised, mid-shift between the woman you've been and the woman you're becoming. The good news is that you don't have to fix the office first. Fix the inner permission and the office will follow.”

And the kick up the rear…

“The path forward isn't more discipline. It's more permission. Permission to be the woman who stops protecting eight-year-old Judy and starts choosing for the woman she actually is now.

A mirror doesn't change anything by itself. You have to decide what to do with what you see.”

There’s so much more to process, this is the next layer of my personal journey. Thanks
