Coaching Coaches to Coach...



Are you 'on' 24/7? ... Managing life as a network of conversations ...

First, there is an internal dialogue (private chatter) - this conversation greets you as you wake up and is there when you put yourself to sleep. Until you 'master' this conversation it dominates, manipulates and controls you and your relationship with life. It is non-stop, providing a narrative of everything including oneself.

Once you have mastery of the 'private chatter', you are available to engage with the world as possibility. Your authentic voice can declare your ‘self’ as a pure possibility. Your listening of others is direct, unfiltered, empowering, intimate and potent. Commitment fills the space that opinions, judgments, evaluations and their 'meanings' used to occupy.

Peace is the experience of “being still”. Being still means being calm, balanced, at-ease and in harmony with one’s self, the physical universe and all living beings and things. Maintaining this stillness is the path to peace. Breathing deeply as stimuli occur is the disciplined 'practice' required to sustain your authentic self.

As you move into the freedom from the 'what ifs?'... 'how bouts?'... yea buts'... the 'private chatter' is looming, ever ready to take credit for the extraordinary results that naturally occur. That is ego, the identity taking credit for what happens when 'it' is out of the way.

As practice produces new 'habit patterns', coaching family, friends, colleagues and associates becomes the evolution of conversations to manage. The design of the ontological environment through linguistic rigor is a master's game.

The options of resignation, despair and separation cease to be tolerated. Integrity is the fundamental element of designing your existence and becomes the ground of your 'being'.

As we develop ourselves and fifty million others, our world prophetically transforms. The ‘game’ we were born into is to produce this by 12/20/2012. This is one response to why coaching? and what is the internet for?.

Welcome home! :)
