When we hand it all over in Service

by | Jul 15, 2019

Something happened that shook her in a big way in her coach training. It touched on old stuff. It sent her into a tailspin and it made her lose her confidence and her spark for Soul-based Coaching.

So of course we asked her what she wanted to have happen and how we could best support her. And she wanted some help to get back in love with the process as a coach. She wanted her spark back.

So we met.

At the beginning of our call, the idea of asking me, her practice client, questions was terrifying for her: “Like a cliff diver having to go over the edge”.

I could see her eyes tearing up, her breath high and quick. This was big.

And then she did it. She asked me what it’s like to be serving at my best. And oh my, did I get a sacred gift from this short 7 min practice exercise. Being her client.

It brought me to tears of happiness and gratitude, and it brought me insights that were very new. Insights that mark a new level of initiation in life for me. – But that’s not what this post is about.

She was in awe of what happened. (None of it planned – I couldn’t if I tried.)

And she said:

“It reminded me of what a sacred space we hold.
It showed me that the tools are still in me.
And that the effect for you, my client, is there, and it’s not dependent on my fears, or worries.
It shows me that all I have to do, is get out of the way.”

The spark is back.

And she will be one tender, gentle and powerful coach. When she is ready. She can travel her path with lots of grace.

And it all left me with more tears of gratitude.

She wanted her spark back. And she got maximum sacredness happening.

And if you want this sacredness in your life and work, join us for the free training here 

Much love,

Love that you are here! It’s a pleasure to share what I’ve learned in 25 yrs of coaching and teaching coaches since 2006. At the Academy for Soul-based Coaching, the team and me have reached 1000s of coaches, therapists and healers, helping them have phenomenal, embodied results.

On a personal note, I’m a bi-sexual, perimenopausal (read sleep-deprived) self-anointed Priestess who craves the spiritual as much as I do the practical, connecting seeming opposites in true Gemini style – and that is about all I know about astrology.
