Time To Think
Coaching is not just a weekly session. It is a special commitment between two people. Email contact mid session keeps me up to date with any developments that have taken place since the session was held.
Any progress needs celebrating, large or small, this is where often, people can become despondent and give up around making changes, when there is no support offered. We are always too keen to criticise ourselves and note the bad points when in fact it is praise that is required and good points that need to be observed.
In coaching a client is given time to think. Often in life there is rarely this time available. People often know what they want to do, they have dreams or ambitions but do not give time to thinking about them. They are too busy rushing around, doing what has to be done. When given time to think, powerful thoughts can arise.
It is worth noting that usually the brain that contains a problem also contains the solution – often the best one.
When someone is assured that they are not going to be interrupted and that they are going to have some thinking time, their mind is allowed to think in a completely different way.
When someone is thinking like this, apparently, according to scientists, it would take 32,000,000 years to count the number of electrical connections that are happening in their brain during that quiet time! |
