I find starting new things tricky. Year ago a Myers-Briggs personality indicator suggested that I was a completer-finisher so bringing something brand new into being is well outside of my comfort zone! Well, you are currently reading a blog on my brand new shiny coaching business website so I am stepping out of that zone.
I love coaching. I love the privilege of accompanying people as they think deeply, challenge their own wrong assumptions and find a way forward. I enjoyed training to be a coach, learning about all the theories and models that go with it and even- dare I say- writing an essay about coaching.
Setting up a coaching business on the other hand has been a real struggle! I’ve overthought and overworried, got stuck in my own head, procrastinated and wanted some kind of unknown perfection.
Coaching is highly reflective and known to improve self-awareness. I’ve needed to do quite a bit of self-coaching on this journey. My brother-in-law pointed out that until I actually started, this whole thing didn’t really exist, apart from in my own head. I just needed to actually start.
So here we go! This is me getting started, bringing something new into being. I don’t quite know where its going yet (though I have some big dreams) but it is exciting to make a start.
Here goes!
