Wow, its been forever since I’ve been here. So much has happened I don’t know where to begin.
I completed my peer coaching requirement with two amazing women – much thanks goes out to both of them. With their guidance and encouragement I really moved my business from concept to creation.
I finally got the confidence to become a peer coach and have both loved and dreaded it. I was so excited to get my very first peer client, that I completely ignored my inner voice telling me the session weren’t going well. Eight weeks into our commitment she emailed me that she didn’t feel she was getting anything out of it and couldn’t continue. That really devastated me. I questioned myself, my ability and my choices. Thankfully, I had begun coaching another peer a few weeks earlier and our sessions are so amazing for both of us, that I found the inspiration to continue.
I’ve taken on two more peer clients since then, and sessions with them are really wonderful and path-affirming. I even had a trial session with an external (possibly paying!) client the other day.
The situation with my first peer client has set me back on my original schedule of a planned June ‘08 graduation. After wrestling with the idea of this setback, I’m finally OK with it. That’s why I decided to take on more peer clients, I really want to get as much coaching experience as possible.
I’ve even started re-taking some classes. I notice that I’m getting so much more out of them – its kind of like re-reading a book and discovering insights that the first read-through couldn’t reveal.
We shall see what more transpires when the rain clears.
Namaste,
Lynn
