Coach as Instrument: Helping clients get clear on their "why"

This Week's Attunement 

Here's what I'm pondering, what's inspiring me and what's keeping me current this week! 

What's Keeping Me Current
 So that I have a better understanding of my client's context 
Now perhaps more than ever before, people want to work FOR something, for a possibility, a dream; something larger than themselves. They want to make the life energy they contribute to work matter. One of the great benefits we coaches can provide our clients is to help them clarify their "why". Why they, their teams, their companies do what they do, why they should exist, why they matter.

Yet, in all the hurry and scurry of task plans and timelines, a why can get fuzzy. I use this Proudest Moments Exercise to help my clients get clear on their Why.    

What I'm Pondering
So I can stay curious
Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) — who, like McKenna, stressed experience via the body as the sole source of knowledge — wrote, in reference to his main work, The World as Will and Representation (1818), that "every part supports the whole just as much as it is supported by the whole… no part is first and no part last… the whole gains in clearness from every part, and even the smallest part cannot be fully understood until the whole has been first understood."

What's Inspiring Me
So I can continue to do what I do and inspire my clients as well
I love this fun and playful use of shadow to make art. (less than a 60 second watch on Instagram!): When Shadows Do More Than Block Light
