There is so much support available

Hi there,

I LOVE being a coach! I especially love when my fellow coaches send out offerings of support. Whether that be in the form of a comment on my blog or forwarding a super article they wrote or received from someone else. That is what coaching is all about, supporting you, giving you the hand to hold while you try something new.

It's kind of like this. A few weeks back I was at my sister's house. We were getting all the Halloween decorations out and starting to put them up. Katie, my oldest niece, had no problem climbing up and down the ladder hanging stuff on the house eves. Emily, the youngest, decided she wanted to hang something up too. She looked at me and asked "will you help me up?" Of course, so with my foot on the bottom rung I placed my hands on her hips and guided her up where she hung her bat (backwards, but who cares!) She came down the ladder and yelled to her Dad, look what I can do! So again she started for the ladder only this time she told me not to touch her just keep my hands close, when she got to the top she turned and said, "put your hands down Auntie Linda I don't need them anymore."

That is what I do for my clients. I offer you all the support you need until you are confident you can do it alone. I'm always here for you, just give me a shout.



Cheers,
Coach Linda B
