Taking it to the Street

I had my first peer-to-peer coaching session today, and it dawns on me that those who are really committed to personal excellence are always learning about themselves, striving for a new level of accomplishment, and are filled with self-discipline. Personally, I hope I never hide behind the illusion that I’ve arrived.

I’ve been coached, and play the role of coach in my day job, so I am a little surprised when I walk away both invigorated, focused, and with a clearer sense of direction. I surfaced something getting in my way, and my coach helped me to move into action. I knew the coaching component was going to be a powerful, but this solidifies for me that we need to take this to the streets. What if we could create peer-to-peer coaching networks within organizations, associations or communities? Coaching could be made available to the masses. Little cost – and a whole lot of value.

Now that I'm ousted I have stuff to work on - I can't help but wonder if my story isn't part of the book, too. That feels like a kryptonite moment.....

  1. This posting really speaks to me. I too feel charged and energized whenever I have an opportunity to partner with my peer coach. I find that I wish I had more interactions with my coach, and that my energy is highest immediately following a peer-to-peer session. Thanks for your great words of wisdom!
