This is my last Foundations class! Not bad for two months of work (with some Advanced classes thrown in there as well).

This is such an important topic, but a lot of our time was eaten up by some specific examples that didn’t drive home the topic for me. One of the challenges with these classes is that most of the students are “talkers”, and want to get their two cents in. So, someone will make a point, and then before the teacher can answer, someone will ask a question and then someone will interrupt with another point. It’s frustrating sometimes.

But what I got out of this class is all of the different ways you can show your clients a new way of looking at things. And isn’t that what coaching is about? Because if the way they are looking at things was working for them, they wouldn’t be paying a coach! There were some great reframing questions here, and I know that I’m going to use them for both my clients and myself.

Today I’m grateful for not having to take 2 hours out of a precious, rain-soaked day to schlep to Queens!
