Welcome to my coaching blog – for those of you who wonder about my coaching experience, this is the place to hear my thoughts near real-time posted here!
\nOn friday I started my first career\/executive\/life coaching session with Barbara Baill. I had been looking forward to this session for months now as I have been out of work for 6 months and getting antsy to figure out what’s next for me.
\nI picked Barbara because of her extensive executive experience and also the fact that we clicked at our lunch get-to-know meeting. I felt it was important to find someone who had been part of high level executive meetings, versus those who only knew theory. The others I interviewed certainly were good enough to coach but I wanted someone who had experienced these things in person.
\nSo on Friday we spent an hour getting to know one another.
\nI felt pretty random. My head is filled with so much stuff – I even asked her if we could use a process which would brain dump everything and then organize it later. I hope she didn’t think I was scattered!
\nFor homework, I need to do:
\n1. get images that appeal to me.
\n2. fill out a Myers-Briggs form
\n3. find a log book of some sort, maybe electronic, maybe paper.
\n4. list questions pertinent to my life
\nI now jump deeply into the coaching process….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
