The beauty of undivided attention from a coach, can it make you shine?

“Trust and attention - these are the scarce items in a post-scarcity world,” Seth Godin.

This line jumped out of the page of a book I am reading, 'The Tools of Titans by Tim Ferris' (A book on the habits and routines of billionaires) and it connected me to the power of a coaching conversation. In a world filled with distractions and information overload, the hour I spend with my coach is magical. What makes it so? I think the answer lies in Seth’s wisdom.

I trust my coach. The term “holding space” takes on new meaning as I begin to understand its true value in this noise-filled and trust-deficit world we live in. I don’t get the chance to hear myself very often. I don’t know who I can trust anymore.

I get the complete and undivided attention of my coach. Not only do I enjoy a trusted relationship. It's a professional commitment from the coach offering their presence They are trained and committed to giving me undivided attention. Something that is so rare and hard to find - an hour of being listened to is truly a treat.

In my coaching session, apart from trust and attention, there is an added bonus. I do know for sure there will be no judgment. There will be no criticism. There will be no advice on offer in that hour. Instead, I will get to explore MY world. I will get questions that make me think, and seek my own answers. I will get positive energy and support that enable me to see myself with clarity and act (if I so chose) on any insight that may emerge.

Who do you trust? Who gives you undivided attention? Can you find this combination on offer in the same person? Can you get this on-demand when you most need it?

Get yourself a coach and experience the power of a coaching conversation to help you pay attention to what is going on with you and allow you to trust yourself. I keep reminding myself to “Be joyfully me…” and to live in alignment with my true self. My coach helps me stay on this path towards fulfilment. If any of this sounds interesting, I invite you to give it a try. Sometimes a single coaching session can make a remarkable impact.
