Plant A Garden in Your Soul This Spring

Have you considered having a personal rebirth this spring, recreating your life, planting new seeds to bring about a different harvest? A coach can help you do this.

"A garden in the early stage is not a pleasant or compelling place: it's a lot of arduous, messy, noisome work -- digging up the hard ground, putting in the fertilizer, along with the seeds and seedlings. So with beginning a story or novel." --Ted Solotaroff

That's like the beginning of coaching, too.

ARDUOUS WORK

This is when the client starts working on getting rid of tolerations -- things we put up with that need to go -- a messy car, torn wallpaper, a toxic marriage, a bad job.

Most clients have a year's worth of work. It seems overwhelming at first, but getting the first things off the list gives momentum.

HARD GROUND

This is getting rid of obstacles -- pessimism, inability to generate options, financial difficulties …

For Jen, it was getting over her obsession about her ex-husband. "You told me that was the obstacle," she said. "You can't believe the energy it freed up once I got over him."
