I want to be a coach

Okay. So.
I’ve been allowing myself to dream a lot this year about what I want in life.
It’s been great fun.

I have realised every time I come to a thought: I want to be a coach! I want to coach people! I love coaching!
I am FASCINATED by the human brain and there are so many things that have led me to this path and this point that make perfect sense and I am so interested in the practice and art of coaching. I spend so much of my time absorbing everything I can about development; learning; neural pathways; NLP; language, nervous systems, and all the other things. I LOVE IT.

But, I keep it secret; and I keep it a dream; and I don’t act on my absolute desire that feels so true to me and a full body YES.

I want to find a course and learn how to do this, but also the thought of telling people this is what I want to do and this is what I believe I am here for makes me cringe and I make up a whole load of stuff about what people are going to think of me.

Clearly, a lot of stuff to work through before I can even begin helping others work through their stuff!

 

 

Answer:

Celebrate you for saying this out loud! This is the perfect place to do it. How did it feel to type that out and press send?

The real question here is not what others will think of you, it’s What do you think about being a coach? Do a thought download and just let it all out. It’s safe to open up these thoughts and look at them. This is an important step because if you don’t shine a light on your doubts and judgements of coaching you’ll bring those with you on your journey.

It’s ok that you have these thoughts within you. It’s ok that you’re worried that other people have them, too. Recognize that your brain is doing all that it can to keep you exactly where you are so it can conserve energy and not be kicked out of the group. What if you didn’t have to tell anybody until you’re ready? It could be a fun secret!
