Coaching to Empower Your Priceless Life
What’s Stopping You From Being a
Boomer in Second Bloom?
Explore Your Potential
Back when we were barely out of our infancy, most of us learned to walk upright and talk haltingly with some obvious measure of effort. Despite these first awkward attempts, however, there was never any doubt, at least in our own minds and usually not in the minds of those who nurtured us, that we would achieve mastery over these skills. As humans, to stand upright and to communicate verbally is our destiny. We don’t wonder whether we will accomplish these things; we begin to do them with baby steps and single syllable words, one day putting them all together to toddle across a room and fire off a sentence or a question to anyone who might be listening. These accomplishments are innate; they are part of the blueprint of what it means to be human.
Someone To Champion You
To those of us who have marveled at how a squalling, squirming infant transforms over the course of a couple of years into a walking and talking person with thoughts and determinations, it is nothing short of miraculous. Yet virtually every one of us has gone through this process and come out victorious, even many who have grappled with additional physical and neurological challenges. Few, if any, would deny that these seemingly impossible accomplishments could come to be. In fact, it is likely that a loving parent or caregiver was close by, cheering you on to overcome the last hurdles of these achievements, ready with a giant smile and a hug. They celebrated who you were becoming, and welcomed you with open arms to the destiny that is your priceless life.
Celebrate Your Wins and Gain Confidence
Some of us had “baby books” that held a record of all of our childhood milestones, photographs of first birthdays, smiles and missing teeth, first bicycle rides without training wheels, our first day of school. As we turn the pages backward on our lives, we see where the adult originated, and as we get closer to the beginning of the book, we see a toddler who is doing pretty much the same things as every other child. These developmental steps are expected. In fact, they are often preprinted into most of these albums: “First Smile,” “First Tooth,” “First Step,” “First Words.” But when did the next steps of our lives cease to become a “given?” When was it left to you to hoard your own memories in a scrapbook of things that meant something to you?
Fulfill Dreams or Create New Ones
After a certain age, what happens to the loving parent or caregiver who had no doubt about our success? What becomes of our certainty that once we are on our own two feet and armed with words that make sense to the rest of the world, we can keep moving in the direction our feet take us, asking for and receiving what we need and want in order to reconcile ourselves with our determinations? Why this nagging doubt that who we once believed we were in our very bones, might not come into being?
Don’t Be Afraid to Scrape Your Knees
Most think coaching is about doing, but it is also about becoming. It’s about taking those clumsy baby steps and asking those first awkward questions: What’s this? What’s that? Why not? It’s about the nurturer close by, ready to celebrate the milestones and be there with you even when you fall off the two-wheeler your first time around the block and scrape your hands and knees. It’s about you being with your first unstoppable attempts and surviving them, taking another chance and another, and finding a way no matter what. Remember the child you were? Remember a time when you never accepted “no” for an answer and kept going back to figure out how to get what you wanted? Can you remember what it felt like to still believe in yourself, that whatever truly mattered was never impossible? When was the last time you said a resounding “Yes” to what you wanted to achieve?
What have you been waiting for?
