Thanks for the reminder that first of all we are human and we too grow in a spiral and recognize when we need to let it flow once again by connecting and active listening Ing to others.

I am excited to be a part of this group and conversation and for taking us back to where many of us have met (The great San Diego Health and Wellbeing conference).

So many things we have learned, so many mistakes that we’ve made that have taken us to the road to growth and having people like you to remind us it’s not as difficult as it may seem …just connect to your true self and see, really see others as you walk with them along their own journey.

Thank you for being part of mine! Warm hugs,

So great to have you as part of the conversation, Katya, and so glad our paths crossed at the coaching conference. It is a learning curve for sure and the ups and downs are what make it a journey worth taking!

Meg I love to see a greater focus on community building in the health coaching space!

I have a skill recommendation that I'd love to see you talk about in the future. As a coach mentor and educator one thing I've found challenging for many coaches, especially novices, is silence. In the Western world and in English, silence in conversation is not an integral part of our discourse and many try to avoid it. How can we practice sitting in silence as a coaching skill, even when we aren't in a coaching session?

Hi Leslie: Thank you for subscribing and getting the community conversation going! What a wonderful topic to explore right from the get go. Ironically, it was a New Year's coaching intention I set for myself and full transparency, it is still a work in progress. I'd love to reach out, if you are up for it, and hear your wisdom. It sounds like silence is in your lane, and this is all about community and collaboration. Let me know if that is something of interest.

Yes I'd love to connect! I wish I were better at silence myself, but it's something I'm acutely aware of, haha!
