A friend recently sought my help as a coach. She was feeling trapped and miserable in her job and her life.
We talked through her options. I asked questions. I listened for the “shoulds” and “shouldn’ts” and “have tos.” That was all.
She told me later that she had a vision as she was falling asleep that night. She saw herself in a jail cell, surrounded by iron bars.
I came into her vision and opened the door. “It was never locked,” I told her.
And she simply walked out from behind the bars.
I can’t wait to see where she goes.

From a University of Washington Professional and Continuing Education webinar: Prospective clients sometimes ask me how I have the credibility to coach senior executives in industries I know nothing about. Challenging question, right? So I have a choice here: I can answer in a way that risks sounding defensive, talking about my experience and my degrees. I like to do something really unexpected instead.
I like to talk about knots.
