COACHING IS LIKE CLIMBING
……. e voilà! This is the “Dente del Gigante” , Mont Blanc! So many memories….
Yes, years ago I was up there with a rope!!!! I felt as if I climbed the highest mountain of the world! Life is like that experience I did. We always should try to remember where we want to arrive, lets look forward….that day it was really windy, cold, cloudy, scary….really scary! But I trusted the person I was with, I was totally connected with my body. Body and spirit working, moving together. My breath. Slowly slowly, one step at the time, slowly slowly and there I was, in the middle of nature, in the middle of myself…. Sometimes I close my eyes and this image appears and gives me the streght to climb all the mountains I meet during my week.
Coaching is a bit like this: the coachee thinks and tells the coach which mountain he\she would like to climb. Then together they decide what’s better to take with them on this trip, where and when to stop. They discover if there could be risks and understand if they are too big or just a good challenge. And off they go, sometimes slowly slowly, other times so fast that at the end of the trip they realize that together they climbed 10 mountains.
I am travelling with many clients and enjoy all these trips, it’s so rewarding to arrive, look at the beautiful view and say : My gosh! Didn’t think it would have been so easy!
