Enjoy the top three lessons I learned from ICF’s International Coaching Week, and then… please share your own!
Fun Fact: this video is a great example of lesson #3, because I got it right in the first take! (coaches are SO easy to talk to!)
Entrepreneurship
Coaching with Metaphors – Lyssa deHart
To celebrate International Coaching Week, I’m delighted to announce that Lyssa deHart will be sharing “Coaching with Metaphors” at no cost to my community!
We will delve into the role metaphors play in lighting up our clients.
She’ll share with you the role metaphors play in activating our clients’ brains and a bit of the neuroscience that links metaphors to brain activity and somatic anchoring.
She’ll highlight how a coach might tune their ears to metaphors, leveraging and harnessing your client’s metaphors to foster deeper engagement and insight.
She’ll ask for a volunteer, and do a 15 minute demo, then we can Q&A what people notice. This session is designed to be enlightening and fun, blending serious learning with the playful art of metaphor.
14th May – 3:00pm Pacific Time
Unfiltered Reflections: A Rollercoaster of Thoughts and Insights
Working through all the feelings, I recorded this to capture some of the lessons I’m learning. Please forgive the meandering (my state of mind is not as incisive as usual) and the less-than stellar quality of the video… but I promise there are some important nuggets in here.
Making Peace with Time (low-tech, no cost)
I’ll admit it: I have a troubled relationship with time.
I’m always searching for the perfect way to schedule my calendar. The perfect scheduling tool. The perfect reminder system.
This year I made three simple changes that cost me nothing and make a big difference in how I feel every single day.
- For as long as I can remember, I have hung a one-year dry-erase laminated calendar on the wall that I face while sitting at my desk. Time was literally looming over me. I was facing off with it every single day. So I moved 2024’s calendar behind my office door and filled the space I face with the things that are most important to me: family, pets and inspiration.
- Another long-time practice that I changed is I stopped wearing my Apple watch. Even though I have all the notifications turned off, it was a distraction. I could check the weather, my exercise rings… so many ways to waste a little bit of time here and there. I’ve swapped out the techy nagging device for a watch my Dad gave me one Christmas. It’s sentimental and low tech. Doesn’t even have the date on it.
- With this last one, I may be veering into the neighborhood of TMI, but an idea from my fab time management coach Lisa Crilley Mallis of Impactive Strategies, I go to the downstairs bathroom instead of the one right next to my office. A mini-break from my day.
I’ll wrap up with this thought: when you have a busy life and business, making huge sweeping changes is hard. And then maintaining them? Almost impossible. So while these 3 changes might seem too small to actually make a difference, the power behind them is that they are sustainable.
