What is Your Special Gift as a Coach?

Coaching is one of the fastest growing professions in the world. As a career it is flexible and financially rewarding. But this is not the main reason most people start coaching.

People come to coaching as a way of making a contribution to the world, of creating change - within themselves, their family, their community, their country, even the planet. Every coach brings a special and unique gift to coaching and to the world.

In three weeks time I will be relocating my family from Melbourne, Australia to Shanghai, China. This change has been in planning for about a year and as each week passes I feel myself getting more and more excited. International Coach Academy is going to be offering coach training in Mandarin as of 2008.

As a coach and a leader I have been most interested in observing the responses people have given me when I mention that I am relocating to China. Let me share a few with you now.

The first response is an assumption that I have to go for work purposes and that there may not be a great deal of choice involved, rather a necessary part of my role at ICA. This could not be further from the truth. When I stepped off the plane in mainland China in 2005, I felt a wave of energy that I had not experienced before. I became immediately excited and I could feel the energy of the place moving throughout my body. I loved the culture, I loved the passion for learning that everyone I meet has, and I loved the vibrancy of the place. I felt connected in some way to China. It had entered my mind, body and soul weaving its magical, mythical spell over me. Whenever I am in mainland China I feel a sense of sadness when I have to leave it.

Coaching is such an ingrained, integrated part of my life that I can’t imagine a time before I ever spoke the words “I am a coach”. I was thinking this week about how it was that I came to coaching. In a way, it was a sort of “coming out”. Once I did say those words, I could look back and see that in fact I had been “coaching” for a long time before ever recognising it for what it was.

Anyway, I digress. For me, like most other coaches I know, it was a memorable event. I was sitting in an airplane reading an in-flight magazine. There was an article on business coaching and I thought to myself, “Yes, that’s exactly what I need, so that I can stop boring my partner every night with stories of client upsets and training dilemmas etc.” It turned out that coaching did the trick where my business and home life was concerned. But it did more than that. Within weeks of experiencing this methodology firsthand I recognised its power and potential. I had been consulting and training in various capacities for years, with excellent results. But through being coached myself I saw that coaching had the potential to create long- lasting, deep, sustainable change, both personally and organizationally. (more…)
