There is a moment that has led me to where I am currently headed, and it started such a long time ago.....I had one of my girls ask me yesterday when I knew I wanted to be a teacher......and an easier question would be when I didn't know I wanted that......I was the kid playing school in the basement, and hoarding school supply treasures given to her by kind teachers, that saw the teacher in her:)......I have always loved all things learning and school related.......and when I went to college, I entered in as a psychology major......that love of human condition having its say.......but shortly after...... I was helping my college friend study, and she started to get it, and that light bulb shone brightly onto me as we were working together, and that was it....there it was.......I switched majors and remembered that little girl that had always wanted to teach, and the rest is history......and now my transition to coaching is because of "that moment".....that same moment that lights me up when I teach......the moment I seek and chase, also lies in coaching somebody......we all carry wisdom within us.....I believe that with all my heart......even if somebody doesn't "appear to be wise" or making healthy decisions, it is there......drowned out by the noise and trauma of their lives.....and a coach's job is to help quiet some of that noise......to hold space for that other person.....create an environment where the noise and clutter falls away, so that the person can find their inner wisdom and truth......and when that moment happens.......it is magic.......just like teaching......so my pursuing coaching now, is not a stretch for me......it is driven by the same place inside of me......the place that likes to see people win.....that likes to see people succeed........that seeks to have people understand themselves......that seeks to want people to feel fulfilled........to feel successful and powerful......it is the same moment......just slightly different......and a different clientele.......adults versus kiddos.......and the truth is, I know I will be teaching for awhile until I get my coaching business where I want it to be....and have all the moving parts in motion.....and that is more than OK.....because that moment keeps me satisfied each day at work......I chase it every single day......and that moment also keeps me running toward my future.......seeking to share that moment with my future clients......so I suppose it has been a hugely motivating moment.......nearly all of my life.......and it never gets less exciting for me......not ever.......I look forward to all the future moments I will have with students and clients and I feel grateful for all the past ones I have been blessed enough to share too:)
