One of the aspects of coaching I always used to enjoy was restart coaching. This is when someone had faced something which completely derailed their plans or halted their dream and everything seemed to stop.
Coaching seemed to be an excellent way to enable the person move from a standing start into do able action to promote their own recovery as quickly as possible.
This blog is an example.
In the last year all my plans had to change as someone in my family became seriously ill. At first we were all working to see her recover but in the autumn we had to accept that wasn't going to happen. So from a situation of living according to a list of my own priorities, only living more slowly I had to put many things on hold and live a very different life for a while; just getting by really as my Mother's priorities became family priorities.
It would have been easy to remain stalled after her death earlier this year; to have given up coaching and other satisfying activities to settle for just getting by because "just getting by" can become a habit.
Fortunately coaching also becomes a habit and it wasn't long before I wanted to get back in touch with my own passion to have the best life possible and turned to self coaching for help. Several weeks down the line and I'm once again coaching, with great pleasure, and adding more to my everyday life each day, even more aware of how important it is to live each day to the full.
Once again I have reminded myself of the power of coaching; the questions, the techniques the whole mindset. Once we know how to "think coaching " we have a rich supportive resource for when we feel derailed.
I've used restart coaching for myself and here I am !
