Terrence McKenna said, ‘Nature Loves Courage’ - We carry the terror of past experiences in our present day bodies, along with the shame that came with secretly believing we deserved it.
Our practices help us to be courageous and to face that terror and to learn how it moves through us. Our practices help us to get over the unhelpful obsession with ‘why’ we get triggered in favor or ‘what’ is happening when we get triggered and ‘how’ we can come back to center easier and faster.
Good coaching can support this process. An extra set of eyes to reflect and an additional nervous system to regulate with can make a world of difference.

Many coaches tell me they lack confidence.

They aren’t confident they’ll know the best thing to say to the client. Or if they’ll ask the best question. They freeze up for fear of not getting it right.

Their focus is off. There is no ‘best thing’.

If they focus on being confident in their mission and commitment to the work and the client, all things will fall into place.

One of the practices of the coach is to care more about the client then they care about themselves. This seems obvious, but if our attention is fixated on our own insecurities we are being truly self centered. Performance anxiety never resolves itself!

We can practice moving our attention into the present moment, orienting it to center around our client, offering them our curiosity. We can bring our clients our kind confidence in what’s possible when we work together.

I’ve got a course coming up in August called Fractal Inquiry. It’s designed to help with this shift in mindset.
