A few months ago, I was offered a partnership as the VP of a newly organized and practically guaranteed-to-be profitable corporate coaching company.
It was flattering, of course, as my years of expertise and effectiveness as a coach were what had this person want me for the position.
Obviously, I didn’t take the position. While I’m sure the coaching company will do great things and help many people, I had two questions for the CEO before even going down the path to considering this role:
1. Can I put the CLIENT first in my coaching, or would I have to put the company first?
2. Would I have to filter myself, or could I be fully me?
Without even a spoken word, it became a clear NO for both of us.
I’m sure I’ve lost position and profit, over and over, because SELF-TRUST must come first, both for me and for my clients.
#selfconnection and #selftrust are skills – they are learned and practiced. And most of the systems around you are teaching you the opposite – to bend to the will of giving away your power and sovereignty.
You know more than you think you do; you have the wisdom within. Cultivate those skills of #selfconnection and #selftrust.
Love,
๐ Allison
