The Meaning of Money

Rethinking how we relate to money can be a huge eye-opener for some of us and lead us in new directions. Where money is concerned, are you an optimist (always trying to see bright side of a situation) or a pessimist (generally seeing the negatives in any situation)?

If your reading this, chances are good that you are an optimist. Coaching is certainly an entrepreneurial occupation, and as we all have learned at one time or another, the returns fluctuate between a trickle and a flood.

Currency as the word we use for money derives from a Latin word that means to run or flow.

Just as a river must keep flowing—else it gets clogged and stagnates—it is circulation that keeps it vital and flowing.

If our intention is to hold onto money and hoard it, we are stopping its circulation and that of our life energy as well. This way of seeing money moves beyond the economic idea of money as a tool of commerce and toward a more holistic vision of currency, the flow of energy.

Coaching by Phone! Said Coach I Am.

With apologies and appreciation to Dr. Seuss

 

I coach by phone said Coach I am

I’m a coach, I am I am!

 

I can coach you from a beach.

I can coach you within reach.

I can coach you with bad hair.

I can coach you anywhere.

 

I can coach you internationally

I can coach you somewhat fashionably

I can coach you without borders

I can coach you without orders.

 

I could coach you from a boat.

I can coach you in a coat.

I can coach you from my car.

I can coach from near or far

 

I can coach you from my camper.

Even travel does not hamper

I can coach your every movement

I can coach toward life improvement.

I’m a coach said Coach I AM.

I’m a Coach – I AM.  I AM!

 

I can coach when you’re remote.

I can coach you and not gloat

I can coach you in my home.

I prefer to coach by phone.

 

I can coach and be real funny.

I can coach about your money

I can coach about your life

And even coach you and your wife.

 

I can coach from Pennsylvania

I can coach from Cartagena

I can coach at Beaver Creek

I can coach you week by week.

 

 

I can coach you toward new visions.

I can coach you through transitions.

I can coach you with emotion

I can coach across the ocean.

Life Coaching: The Profession

I am proud to be one of the pioneers of the coaching industry and  to be creating coach specific training for adult learners with graduate degrees and/or experience professionals in human service capacities.

The CNN article, ‘Getting Unstuck: Does your Life need a Coach?” is one of the few accurate summaries about coaching.

As an original charter member of the International Coach Federation (ICF), I understand the importance of certification and regulation for this young industry. As the subject of the coaching profession evolves and we receive more global input, I find it reassuring to know that the Coach Approach is deceptively a simple process yet one with nuances that come with experience. I wish for everyone in all parts of our world, to have a chance to experience it. Coaching conversations empower the one being coached and allow the person doing the coaching to stay focused on what the speaker/coachee wants to say, create, and accomplish. In my lifetime, I have seen countless times how coaching has helped many lead a more purposeful life.

I am proud to be an active part of the coaching community.
