What I’m Asking…
This week, I’m asking…
(1) If coaching looked like something, for example, some form of art, what would it look like?
Would it be an oil painting or watercolour? Impressionistic or abstract in style? Would it be a series of sculptures? Or maybe a sandcastle? A collection of erasers…
What does coaching LOOK like?
(2) Having opened up space in life with this creative hiatus, what if I went on permanent creative hiatus for 2007? What would that take?
(3) Into the vacuum of creative hiatus, so many new opportunities are presenting themselves.
The invitation to co-write a book. Ghostwrite two books. Build a coaching department for two well-known authors, giving coaching employment to hundreds. Write a serious feature article for a provincial business magazine. A coaching-related article for a national magazine in the US. Write for a social networking site as a permanent guest. Join the Board of Directors of an international association outside coaching. Do nothing but stay home and be a loving housewife. 
Yeah, yeah Andrea, so what? Okay here’s what I’m asking: What the bleep do I want, really? 
Seriously though…what is the perfect fit for the next chapter of life I want to create? the perfect fit with the new ‘me’ that I’m becoming? Am I ready to ‘not’ be the boss and pull towards a vision of someone else’s again? What if I want to do it all, taste it all?
Which opportunities are just the crack pipe talking and which opportunites are the wheatgrass? Thank you Pam Slim!
And finally courtesy of the comedian Steven Wright, I’m also asking…
(4) If someone were to shoot a mime, would they use a silencer?
Ah heck, just to mix things up here’s something, brand new:
What I’m reading…
“Sophie’s World” (philosophical fiction) “Executive Skills in children and Adolescents” (background preparation for the ADD Keynote due in April) and “Inspired Philanthropy.”
Highly recommended: Even if you don’t publish a blog, I’ve found it a really great habit to cultivate – observing what I’m asking. What are you asking today?
