Matches and Words

Words are like matches, they can ignite a burning fire that has the power to help, heal or hurt. Matches are harmless when nestled side by side in their homey book. Words too, are harmless when strung together in out around down and up over there. The danger is in the careless, reckless, use of either. As coach, I am compelled to honour my client, be fiercely courageous for their well being.  This is a scary walking a tight rope experience, taking the risk in blurting the truth as it presents itself through intuition. Using the match metaphor, I wanna light a fire, a burning desire in the client to live on purpose, to feel the heat and feel compelled to move!  The intention is always to deepen the learning and forward the action.
