Tonight is my last coaching class........22 weeks on the books.....and as I type that number, of course it was a 22 week program and meant for me......those numbers are still following me pretty fiercely and all the time! Still 1111, still 2222, still 22, still 11, and all of the ones in between 555, 444, you get the idea......but it is constant......cool to read about, if you ever get a chance......I never knew about it before.....anyway I digress;-) tonight is my last class! I did it! Finishing up my exam and a few loose ends, and then I am a certified life coach, another feather in my cap:) It has been such a special journey......we started out as strangers 22 weeks ago.....and the class has been on a conference call this entire time......I initially was a little disappointed......thinking I would not get as much out of it, if I could not see everybody, alongside hearing them......but I was wrong.......the idea was for us to learn to listen deeply.....to one another, to our instructor.....and by stripping away all the senses except for our sense of listening, that is exactly what happened......I feel like I know everybody from class so well, despite never laying eyes on them! I know their stories, their journey through coaching, all of it......it has been so interesting and I have learned so much in such a short time.......and then to add to the excitement, we are all hopping on a zoom line after class, to actually put our stories to a face! How fun and cool is that, can't wait:) This program has done an amazing job of preparing me to coach.....I feel very confident in my coaching skills now.......I have seen and felt my progression along the journey.......they also help you begin to build your business.....and share some really sound and wonderful ways to do just that......I have some tools in my pocket for now, and as it progresses to continue to build and achieve my goals......I have that summer women's series written......I think the content is really sound and relevant......will work on the dates and marketing soon after school ends.....have a bunch of other ideas in the wings.......but as I sit here this morning, before my last class.....I realize how good it feels to set out to accomplish something, and actually accomplish it......I have worked hard to work toward this.......financially, and doing class from home with my kids, and keeping up with it alongside the rest......and it didn't feel like work......because I so enjoyed it.......every single bit of it......such a light in my life, and it will be bittersweet to see it end.......it feels good though to be on this side of it, and feel as if my effort, and financial contribution was worth every bit of it! I am leaving this program with a clear direction......some new people in my life, that will likely remain for quite some time.....and a bunch of knowledge, and new skills under my belt, and gratitude in my heart! What else could I ask for?? :) New chapter awaits.......next stop my coaching business! :)
