Intro to The Center

A few years ago I was skating around the rink of life when I took the curve and didn’t *quite* make that graceful turn...you know the one...where the face is inches from the ground and the pinky finger is skimming the ice...so elegant in that slick suit. Nope. I crashed like Mary Decker. Or Zola Budd. (In my opinion they both faced a fall...but that’s a topic for another day.)

Serendipity (aka *social media angels) led me to a coach who did nothing like what I thought a “coach” would. There were no cheery pep talks, no emotional sprints, no confessional laps. I thought a coach could tell me just what I needed to do. Nope. There was simply conversation. And reflection. Discussing what parts of my life I wanted to take back under my control and what parts I was ready to let go? I learned about energy in a way that brought together my interest in both the metaphysical as well as the tangible. It was both spiritual and deeply practical. I learned how to work with anger and face fear. Mostly I learned from her that all the answers were already inside me, they were my center. That they are always there for us.

As it turns out there is a type of coaching that is a peer relationship, a partnership. Energy leadership is about creating awareness of your energy or consciousness in any given situation and working to elevate it to create more opportunity and higher levels of joy. To lead yourself through energy awareness. By simply creating more awareness of your thoughts, feelings and actions you are able to take back control of your responses to life. 

I didn’t make it around that curve that time but my bruises are my badges. They remind me it’s possible to get up again and keep going around that curve closer and closer to my center. 

I have started The Center Coaching simply to keep on my learning path and share what I have learned with others. I hope you will join us on the journey round the rink...
