Some people hesitate to hire a coach because they already know the answers to their challenge. They tell themselves that they just 'need to do it'.

Perhaps the 'just do it' plan works for a few humans for a very low percentage of the time. But for most humans, it's not that easy. If it were easy, everyone would already be doing it.

Let's normalize the unique-to-each-individual-world that lies in between the gap of knowing and doing. Let's talk about that in a trusted, safe and authentic coaching conversation.

Normalize what's real for you so that you can identify the plan of change and growth that suits your complexities and challenges.

Normalize the gap.
Make space to spend time there.

What is your definition of compassion for others?

Do you have:
.. the quiet courage to sit with your own discomfort / pain, not to fix or judge it, but to honour it like you would do for a dear friend?

.... do you choose kindness over criticism and acceptance over shame or guilt?

It's not fair that you continually extend your energy on others, without honouring compassion for yourself.

Notice the meh / mundane days.
What's missing?

It is meaning or purpose?
Meaningful connection?
Absence of your favourite contributions, skills, or talents?
A gap of knowing-doing?
Unclear core values or aspirations?
Weariness of not being seen or heard authentically?
Boredom?
Or.... what else?

Is the pain of the unknown less than the pain of the known?
Is the risk too much?
Are there possibilities between same-old and meaningful life/work?

Lead yourself well.

This being human thing is NOT nothing. Connection and 'better together' is a basic, essential universal need, which has been woven into the tapestry since the beginning of time.

Somewhere in the industrial and information, culture shifted the belief and practise of a superior view of self-made, independance. Belief that one should be able to succeed and/or achieve mastery without a village of support, became the expectation.

Folks, that's not working.

Humans survive and thrive when the right team of people are safe enough together than there is authentic empowerment of interdependent strengths moving forward together.

Name the people of your team or village. Say their names.

Just make sure there is a values alignment.
