Wow. It’s not everyday I receive this kind of client feedback. Especially the cool basssterd 😂 (which is how they pronounce it up north)
This week I facilitated a 5 day client-centred development programme for a group of internal coaches and leaders.
Feedback like this makes me realise how far I have come in the last few years, never mind my 25+ year journey from geospatial professional to leader, consultant, and finally, coach.
It’s often difficult to notice progress in the ups and downs of the everyday. But then one day you look back and suddenly realise how far you have travelled.
I had one of those moments early this week when, faced with a less than ideal venue, I simply shrugged and worked with it. Even just two years ago this kind of thing would have freaked me out.
And together with my effervescent co-facilitator Tony at Consulting for Real People I delivered one of the best development programmes I have done so far — while barely looking at my notes.
Again, one or two years ago I still had to read through reams of notes every evening, and tended to over-prepare through sheer anxiety.
Now I’m comfortable just showing up and dancing in the moment — fully present, working emergently, embracing the unknown. This week’s participants must have noticed the impact.
I’m passionate about learning and today’s feedback makes me wonder what my next development journey might look like. When I look at my GPS, what destination shall I set it to?
I’ll soon find new learning objectives, but for now I will enjoy the view just a little longer from that small mountain summit of today’s feedback.
