I remember it like it was yesterday.

I was sitting on the floor, next to a telephone (you know, with a cord), and I was attending my first ever phone conference. Officially, I was on a 5 month sabbatical, because I needed to heal myself from a persistent burn-out.

But I was very curious, because I had come across something that sounded exactly like what I was looking for (even though I couldn’t tell you what exactly I was looking for). I had been in the field of facilitating transformation, executive coaching and ‘change management’ for 10 years. And even with a MSc and all sorts of training, I had the sense that something was missing. Something that would allow me to hold the transformation processes for my clients with ease. With full confidence.

So there I was. In a friend’s make-shift office. The call was in English (not my native tongue), and the connection was bad. I was straining to hear what was said.

We started by asking each other, in turn, three questions. And when it was my turn, something rather amazing happened. They asked me: ‘When you’re listening at your best, it’s like what?’ Well, my answer was ‘it’s like I have these antlers on my head’.

???, right?

But that’s what came up for me. So that’s what I said.

And then they asked me: ‘And where are these antlers?’

I knew instantly, and I told them ‘they are at the top and to the side of my head’.

And then they asked again: ‘And whereabouts are they at the top and to the side of your head?’

And before they even finished that last question, a lightning bolt hit me: I suddenly became aware that these antlers could turn. And in a split-second, they had turned. And at the same moment I was physically aware that it took me far less energy to hear what was happening in the call. It was a real-life, instantaneous transformation, of something that was very relevant in the moment.

And then, a second lightning bolt hit me – and this is the important one.

Change can be easy. It can be instantaneous.

I hadn’t analysed and work hard to make this change. No, it ‘just’ happened. There was no looking at the situation I was in, or the emotions attached to it. No, it ‘just’ happened. There was no reframing, no telling me what to do, no steps to go through. No, it ‘just’ happened.

And I realised: that is what I want all of my clients to experience too.

Change that can ‘just happen’, is easeful and has real world results. Quickly.

It almost sounds too good to be true. But it is what I’ve learned to make happen since.

Just today I received these beautiful words from a client:

“As we started working together, I was is a kind of depression. I lost the sense of direction and the point of me getting up in the morning.. That was a very hard and challenging moment… Working together was such a relieving way of letting the sadness to be expressed and a creative and inspiring way of inviting the joy in.. The energy, the laughter, creativity were released through working with the metaphors. I felt the potential in me again. Through this work the thoughts I had have shifted and I now see how love creates love, and that I feel I am love.. And I create it through living every day. There is so much more potential in me that wants to come out to the light. Thank you for helping me to feel it.”

We only had five 1-hour sessions together. She is not only doing different things in her life, but her ways of thinking and feeling have completely transformed. The actions she is taking are the results of the changes that happened inside of her.

And she is not the only one.

This is why I also started teaching other coaches 8 years ago. Because too many people keep struggling, and too many coaches and therapists are also struggling in their own ways to offer their clients that easeful and yet very deep transformation.
