A Holiday Message from Your “Virtual” Coach at Coaching With W.I.T.
Side note: What is a “Virtual” Coach, you ask? Well, we may not be talking in person, but we can still have a meeting of minds in cyberspace, can’t we? As you continue to read what I write, I hope you will feel stimulated to explore and pursue the kind of life that has true sustainability for you. I hope you will come upon some new ideas that will help you fulfill your heart’s visions. I hope you will hear me speaking to you in a very personal voice and will want to start a dialog here.
Why did I decide to become a coach? I truly have what some people call a passion for helping people through coaching. Passion is not the term I use, however, because “passion” has its root in the idea of suffering. Instead, what I feel for this work is joy, which is akin to the word jewel (according to the Oxford English Dictionary, no less).
Yes, of course change takes hard work and time, but the effort feels very different when you harness it to evocative words like joy and jewel rather than suffering, doesn’t it?
So let’s have some fun, in the spirit of all holidays, by giving the reindeer on Santa’s sleigh second names and imagining your sleigh being pulled by them toward the life you want in the coming year.
