If yesterday’s training was focus more about doing–how to really do the coach works, today, we had a great session on the ‘being’. I take being as the state of mind, for example the way you are! Many people focus on doing and forget about being, many people focus on being and forget doing, in CTI, we were training to let the being and doing stays together while we dance in the moment.

In this morning’s class, we did an very interesting session. We first tells someone what we observe in him, then we will tell him what we need more from him. At first, I didn’t realize what does it mean, when it is my turn, I received lots of good things when they look at me, they use the word: grace, entrepreneurial, caring, elegant etc. When they talked about what they want to see more in me, someone say: relax, playful, joyful. They wanted me to be more like a Wild kids.

Then, we were asked to coach people like the way they expected. For example, since they wanted to see more of my ‘wild kid’ side, so I  need to coach as if I were a wild kid. It is really an interesting feeling that I jump and scream and stay like a kid while I am coaching. But appearly it works. When I ask for feedback, my partner told me that it is the best coaching she received lately.

What I learn? Sometimes we are raised in some way or we think we should act in certain way, that is how we define ourselves. How is it all right? Can we change it a bit to make life more playful and more enjoyable? Starting today, I am going to live in a wild kid mode – Go Rock The World!
