I want to get Life Coach certification. Luckily, there is an accredited school here in Bellueve. I went to their free seminar tonight.
A good upfront intro, nothing fancy. I didn't feel any stars or bells, just a continuing sense that this work would suit me.
"We all have a monkey," Jim McCarthy said once. "If your monkey ends up on my back, we both have a problem. A Rescuer is someone who collects other people's monkeys." He was talking to 20 software developers, mostly men. "They should call me Monkey Man," said one guy. "I have so many monkeys on me, I'm barely afloat. I'm just a mass of fur, bobbing in the sea." We giggled, but I never forgot it.
Coaching, although different from therapy, shares with it this bias -- that not only does your monkey belong on your back, but you are the only one who can take care of it.
Anyway, so you guys -- I am happy about this. This feels like a first stone of my "Multiple Revenue Streams" goal of compounding wealth.
(Although for the nonce, ye gods & goddesses -- I wouldn't mind that game startup company's funding coming through, like, TOMORROW. Or the bootcamps'. My play is done, I'm ready to go.)

You'll be good at that, I'm sure. I'll mention to my friend Congo that she should pass by this way - she's also interested in counselling/coaching type work.
