Rough Spots

The art of coaching, words are brush strokes, perspectives are vistas, acknowledgment captures the essence and honesty refines and defines lines.  Pretty picture, done.  Resonance ordered up and delivered...but that isn't how it always goes in fact, there is discomfort, upset, challenge and risk in the very intimate relationship that exists between client and coach.  Sometimes the upset happens for the coach because we are not bloodless robots delivering a rote service of happiness and fulfillment.  The coaching relationship is just that, with impact on both sides, investment from both parties. It is unique and wonderful and scary and fantastic all at once and when things go sideways, when there is a bump in the road, the challenge is to stay...work through the rough spots and go deeper.
