Yes! Every few months or so. . . and what a restoration of my soul!
I attended a full day conference at Intel last week and got to hear several speakers and presentations. (I got to speak about “Improving Communication Using Your Intuition” as well!) When I heard the keynote guy make this comment, I fell in love with myself all over again. It was truly a “That’s Me! That’s Me!” moment.
I am a fan of equality rather than heirarchy, certainly when it comes to my coaching practice, and in any creative endeavor.
Would this comment invite you to see where in your life you think you need to be or show up a certain way?
And then, WHAT IF you could let go of that expectation and show up vulnerable or raw or organic ? Instead ?
When someone says, “Wow Jen, you walk the walk” it ranks in my top favorite compliments to receive. And “Walk the Talk” is also good too.
Where or how do you position yourself as above or more, perhaps in order to uphold a certian image or identity?
As a coach, I am always dancing with this opportunity to be in my “Brilliant Moron” so that I can invite my clients to meet me with their authenticity and vulnerabilty and consequently their powerful SELVES all open and wide. I am forever releasing my need to be perfect. I love that.
And, its just simply true. (becoming the person I aspire to help) My guess is that we all desire to learn from and be supported by that version of ourselves that is wiser and greater and fuller. My wish for you (and me) is for removing whatever gets in the way of that greater version of ourselves being fully present. We really are our best friends.
I’m so glad I got to find you in your perfect moment today. I recommend greeting people with that very comment. Simply acknowledges that whatever IS, is the absolute right on scene. Imagine how this can disarm any resistance. Then there is more room for FUN! And the la vida part. Let’s agree that la…
