So, how much can you accomplish in a 5 minute session? If you were like me, you’d immediately think “Nothing.” Can you even figure out what the client is talking about in 5 minutes?

Yes. You can.

Today we had 5 5-min “laser” sessions. I like that term “laser session” – it’s fast yet focused and can blow stuff up. That last bit started out as a joke but it’s true! I was the client this time around and my coach “blew up” my situation so I can change my perspective. She helped me see  why I was doing what I was doing and, more importantly, reframe it so I can move through it. Pretty explosive stuff.

While some sessions went better than others, every single one helped move the client forward. I like to think that these 5 minutes can help to open the door. Then, when the phone call has been dropped, it’s up to the client to walk through that very door and see what’s on the other side.

I’m grateful today for Claritin, even though it’s not working very well.
