WHY I DON'T COACH THOSE IN THEIR 20S AND 30S
I created a community to help burned-out and overstimulated adults in their 50s, 60s, and 70s get back to the way they felt before the ‘always on’ digital culture overwhelmed their nervous system and led to decades of anxiety.
There's something that individuals in later years understand at a granular level.
They understand that there are no quick fixes for anything. They've lived long enough and accumulated enough wisdom to know that most get-rich-quick schemes and fix-this-overnight promises are empty.
I have nothing against Millennials (my youngest son is one), but they simply haven't lived long enough to develop that level of lived-understanding.
Coaching individuals in their 50s, 60s, and 70s is where I'm most effective because we come to the coaching partnership on equal ground. I don't approach coaching as a guru approaching a beginner, but as two equals in life, each desiring the same outcome.
There's a Palí word, kalyanamitra, that roughly means 'learned mentor.' It's when you have a mentor who is slightly ahead of you on the path that you're walking. The fact that this mentor is a few meters or kilometers ahead of you doesn't make them a guru; it just means they have more experience to reflect on and can pass that on to you because they've lived it.
Sometimes I'll read a subReddit called 'anxiety experiences' to see how adults are talking about their anxiety. Most of the time, I can spot authors who are in their 20s & 30s. I know this because they post phrases like:
- "My anxiety is driving me nuts, and I know it's because of my boyfriend."
- "I just wish I could find a way to make life slow down."
I'm 70ish, and my ideal coaching client is 50-75.
They get me, and I them.
I think this is a 'swipe right' situation, correct? 😉
