Executive Coaching For Not Just Executives

Life is like steering a ship in the open sea. You can follow in the wake of another ship, but then you know it isn’t your path. Or, you can steer your ship into the unknown with the understanding that you’re sailing your own path in the process. The uncertainty, anxiety, and fear that comes with venturing into the unknown often makes it the undesirable path, leading to the preference of the tried-and-tested route of others. And yet, it is because those routes are tried-and-tested that nothing new, different, or better can
come from traveling them. So, let me help you navigate the uncertainty that
only comes from being on your path.

Coaching in Context:
This is a true story of a coaching experience a client and I had
that beautifully encapsulates in a short narrative what coaching is.
This is a true story of a coaching experience a client and I had
that beautifully encapsulates in a short narrative what coaching is.

A client from Brazil who was living in another country thousands of miles from her family, out of work, and awaiting her VISA status felt like everything was out of her control and unpredictable. She cried, tears of homesickness and uncertainty falling down her cheeks. I listened, heartbroken, holding the space for her. She said her emotions felt like a sting.
When the moment fell silent, my intuition kicked in by what she was telling me both with her words and body language. To pull her out of her thinking mind for a moment and take her to a 30,000 foot view of the situation, I asked her what she was going to have for dinner Thursday. The simple question caught her off-guard and with a brief smile, of course, she had no idea. The realization that daily impermanence surrounds us, almost like a blanket, settled on her. Having resurfaced for fresh air, we dove back in and discussed how she could only feel that strongly about something she truly cared for: her family, her professional passion, her place in the world – both geographically and metaphorically.
Her sense of saudade, a Portuguese word meaning nostalgia for something she may never have again, was not merely an emotional quicksand; it was a badge of vulnerability signaling that she had tapped into something that truly mattered in her life. She looked me in the eyes – still watery, yet now unflinching – and said, “I hope it stings every time.”
