Episode 12: Excavating & Celebrating your raw materials, a retrospective coaching session.
Manage episode 421059143 series 3308642
In episode 12 we share a looking back (or retrospective) session with our client Kate. Recently reaching a significant career goal, we walk along with Kate as she recalls some of the key milestones of her journey to a new, significant promotion in her work. But we don't only accompany Kate, we help her pause, reflect, and dig a bit deeper.
In a retrospective coaching session we focus on slowing the client down in the replay of how they met their goal. We invite them to linger in key moments long enough to fully embrace the ingredients (or gifts) they brought to bare that were instrumental to their success in reaching the goal. We invite the client to name and claim these raw materials. And create some inquiry around how these materials are useful in other pursuits in their life.
In our fast paced culture we are often moving from one accomplishment to the next without stopping to celebrate, acknowledge or even take inventory of the raw materials we possess. This type of session is powerful.
This episode is an actual , real life, unscripted coaching session. Unlike episode 11, where we also looked back, but in a coach-like conversation, not an actual session.
Our invitations to you as you listen include:
-What do you notice in your thoughts and your body sensations?
-What are some of your natural resources?
-How do you call them up when needed?
-What could you gain from looking back at a goal recently accomplished? (
