Most of my clients forget two things:
1. they forget that they are uniquely brilliant.
they are gifted, talented and wise in many distinct ways. But we live in a culture of ambition, drive and never-ending growth. while growth is a great thing, constantly striving lends itself to looking ahead, not looking within. therefore much of their brilliance is forgotten. untapped, like buried treasure, it lies deep and they have forgotten how to find it.
2. they forget that they have a body that can enhance and amplify their gifts.
the brilliance they have extends beyond the brain. the body has enormous capacity to support, sustain and empower that brilliance. but the body is an untapped and unharnessed resource that when leveraged, makes everything easier and more connected.
My job as a coach is to remind them. When I am coaching I am like the image you see at the top of this page. The hawk represents two things - the ability to see very clearly from a distance - because my brilliance is the ability to see what is hidden or forgotten. It also represents that ability to soar at great heights with less effort. because when I embody my brilliance I find ways to glide rather than struggle. this is how I lead.
now your turn. how do you lead? would you like to lead in ways that are simpler, powerful and more sustainable? click here to start a conversation with me or connect with me here.
