Sometimes the best told story…

May 1, 2022

is not what actually happened…even if it is a good story!

Sometimes the best told story is a fabrication of what was.

To continue telling the story over years perpetuates the
illusion it is true. Yet what is true is the suffering that the
story creates for others.

Bottomline: If you are embellishing a story, ask yourself
what needs are being met for you. Especially if you have
an inkling that over the years an illusion is being perpetuated.

Know what I mean, JellyBean?

S-T-R-E-T-C-H! Becoming The Incredible Coach You Truly Are was amazing; a must do class for anyone wanting to become a coach or anyone who is already a coach and needs to feel refreshed and revitalized by the possibilities of coaching and the difference the practice can make. I would thoroughly recommend this course, it is not for the fainthearted, you need to be all in – but it’s hard not to be when it’s delivered with such passion and commitment by Ann-Marie, and all your colleagues and peers are so invested. A total life experience, eye opening, breath taking and consciousness deepening. This is a course I will come back to again and repeat!
