Falling in Love With Coaching
My job is not to help people pass an assessment. It is to help them fall in love with the work.
Training coaches has become one of the greatest privileges of my work. People often think my job is to help them pass an assessment, or earn an ICF credential. Those things matter, but they are not why I teach. My job is to help people fall in love with coaching, because if they truly love it, they will continue being a coach long after the course has ended, not because they have to, but because they cannot help themselves.
I train coaches with Executive Coach International, a company that has supported me in laying solid foundations in my coaching, and is a key source in my personal and professional developmental work.
They will naturally look for opportunities to coach: their families, their colleagues, their teams, their clients, their communities. Coaching becomes part of who they are. That is what I hope to cultivate: not just competent coaches, but people who are endlessly curious and believe in human possibility.
That same question, what actually helps someone change, is the one I keep returning to outside the coaching room as well. It is what shapes every learning journey I design.
