📅 Thought for today:

‘We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.’

— Walt Disney

Inspired by one of my teachers, I have developed a simple chart I use with my clients.

This is a new departure for me because I generally eschew models.

I read Coaching Tools Volume 1 and was shocked at how often coaches presented models without attribution to the original creators or authors. This seems to be a common practice, one which I find unpleasant.

The simple chart is to help clients move from a position of judgement and fear, towards one of curiosity and compassion (love).

Today I am putting this into practice for myself.

A business associate and I have been developing an idea, which turned into a conversation, which has turned into an event with other people.

We are exploring the blurred lines and imaginary boundaries between coaching, counselling, psychotherapy and supervision.

Acknowledging that they are different practices, we are also exploring the similarities.

We call it Confluence Circles and today is our first group meeting.

New paths beckon, we’re proceeding with curiosity to see where they lead.
