There’s no intention for me to become an expert in order to coach scientists. What I am learning is how to think about the future. If coaching is a “future focused” profession, does this not make sense?
If you follow my Tweets you will have regular ReTweets that
come from NASA and other science-oriented websites. Today, for instance, I sent my grandson two
articles: one about the solar coronal mapping process, the other about a way to
picture quantum physics. So, hey! If I can learn from these, why not you?
What I learn from the articles and studies:
1.
Simplicity is where it’s at.
2.
Color and other visual aids are immensely
helpful.
3.
The universe is beyond fascinating.
The first one is ‘simplicity.’ Over the many years I’ve been coaching, one
thing I learned pretty early on is that coaching is not complicated … people
are … but coaching per se is
not.
Think of it … eleven core competencies (should be only 9 but
that’s covered in prior blogs) is a pretty simple list to learn and then
utilize as the background foundation of every coaching conversation. My favorite analogy for this is best
demonstrated by the building of a house: generally speaking you and I don’t see the
foundation and the internal structure at all. The purpose of a house is to
safely house the person(s) living there.
Oh sure, in my house there is a plethora of art work (sort of like my
stories when coaching) and a lot of my own design … always mindful of the
structure that makes it all happen.
Well, that’s it for now.
Have not been blogging as of late; working to secure a new life here in
Canada seems to be the order of the day.
That is going well. Oh, I am writing
a book but at every turn I find other areas to include or at least learn
about. Guess you know I am a non-linear
thinker with interests all over the place.
So be it.
