What Is Coaching?
You – at your highest and best.
Turning it up to 11
In Christopher Guest’s rock-mockumentary, This is Spinal Tap, hard rocker Nigel just can’t get his head around why you wouldn’t simply make the 10 setting on his guitar amp louder. Rock stars aren’t known for their restraint and moderation, so he made an amp that turned up to 11.
What in your life would you like to turn up to 11?
Is it a career change or growth? A relationship? Creative pursuits? Or do you just get the sense that there’s more life for you to live?
Safe Predictability…
I’ll show these people what you don’t want them to see.
A world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible.
NEO – “The Matrix”
Lots of folks have clear limits on what they think is possible for their lives. Limits of fulfillment or accomplishment. Limits of creativity, joy, strength, financial security, love.
Limits can serve many great functions – they can keep us safe or help us anticipate what’s coming next.
But they can also stifle and suffocate us and restrict the very things that make us fully human.
Or Uncertain Possibility
What if greater satisfaction in your work were genuinely possible? What if you experienced time as an abundant gift and rather an ever-scarcer commodity? What would you want more of in your life – if you genuinely believed it was possible?
What if you removed the limits you’ve set on the amount of accomplishment, creativity, innovation, joy, strength, and love you can enjoy? What if you could have more of these things than you ever thought possible?
Moving out of the realm of safe predictability and into the realm of expanded possibility is no easy task. It takes courage, resilience, creativity, and more than a little sense of humor. But it’s more than worth it.
