Why I Coach
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure."
- Marianne Williamson
I have been sitting for some years with this quote from Marianne Williamson, which has on numerous occasions spurred me to action and which resonates profoundly with my philosophy as a transformation and business coach. It is my belief that each of us is on this planet to live our purpose, and that our work is discovering and unleashing our unique power. The fear of our own potential, our own power, often holds us back more than any external challenge.
Unlocking Unseen Potential
I coach because I believe in the extraordinary power that lies within each of us. Every person or team I encounter is like a seed with limitless potential, just waiting for the right conditions to sprout and grow. As a coach, my work is to provide those conditions, the environment in which growth can occur.
The Power of Purpose
Coaching is rooted in growth. It's about facilitating self-discovery, fostering personal and professional development, providing tools that create sustained shift, and inspiring change. Coaching creates the possibility for us to enter new worlds, or to show up differently in the world we inhabit. The privilege of supporting and witnessing a client who starts to step into their passion and potential, moves beyond their fears, and lives in alignment with their purpose is my greatest joy.
The Privilege of Connection
I coach because it grants me the profound privilege of human connection. The coaching relationship is a haven where vulnerability is met with empathy, where obstacles are confronted head-on, and each conversation brings both the client and the coach closer to self-understanding. This connection is more than conversations about achieving specific goals, it is a journey to discover what is possible. My privilege is sharing in and supporting my clients' journeys, helping to celebrate their victories, and holding space for them to find their own solutions when challenges arise.
The Impact Beyond Individuals
Coaching transcends the realm of the individual. When a person changes, it sends ripples through their relationships, organizations, and communities. As a coach, the opportunity to contribute to these wider impacts, to help shape more content, healthier, and harmonious communities, is incredibly rewarding. It is my contribution and why I chose this path.
The Journey Towards Unleashing Human Potential
I coach because I believe in the potential of people. I have faith in our capacity for growth, change, and to positively impact the lives of the people who surround us and the world. Coaching is my vocation, a commitment to the journey of unleashing the boundless potential within us. I coach because I trust in the power we each hold to make meaningful and impactful contributions- power that is waiting to be recognized and harnessed. Coaching is my fuel. Supporting individuals and organizations in realizing their full potential and contribution is my passion.
