I'm With You...

Or as we like to say in Philly, I'm wit you...

 Recently I was asked about my coaching philosophy. What would I say if I had to describe what I offer as a coach in a single sentence? I started with big words and lofty, ambitious ideals. Then my inner voice reminded me that simpler is better, and if I really understood what I wanted, I should be able to explain it to a first grader. After much judicious editing, I arrived at this statement:

 "I'm with you as you recognize where you are and clarify where you want to be."

 To me, being with you means that I'm there to actively listen to what you say and ask those powerful questions to support your self-discovery around what you're not be saying. We'll co-create a safe space for you to explore and a relationship built on trust. Together, we'll focus on what you want your future to look like, to feel like, and what you need to get yourself there. You'll do the work, you'll reap the rewards, and I'll be with you, supporting you, and holding you accountable to yourself.

We met in a coffee shop very early in the morning, clustered together in the back, drinking tea and coffee and lots of water. Sometimes its the smallest markers that let you know you've found your people. With this group, everyone had a journal with them. Beautiful paper, some leather bound, all well-worn, marked-up. And lovely pens chosen with care. In my day job, folks show up to meetings with laptops and put their cell phones on the table. And I'm an outlier writing in my notebook, sometimes even in script, just for the loopy pleasure of seeing curvalicious letters on the page. But this group did things by hand - just like me. The more time...
