THEATRE
A given. Still high from working with those three actors last Sunday.
Life Coaching, you say? Where the heck did THAT come from? What IS it?
Well, the foundation of it was laid seven years ago, when I was a coach at McCarthy Technologies (then McCarthy Teamworx), doing Software Development Bootcamps. This week, I took the first course at the Academy of Coach Training. Short story -- Life Coaching is like athletic training; it's a partner to help you do things you want to do, but never seem to get started on. Or, that you could do more easily with support. It's a results accelerator.
It differs from therapy in that therapy is healing-oriented, and coaching is action-oriented. Therapists are subject-matter-experts on childhood & development, and have much deeper education in their field. Personally, I want a coach and a therapist. The more support I have, the better I do. I want a lawyer AND an accountant AND a bookkeeper AND a tax person AND a banker AND a personal assistant. My view is, "Therapy -- of course. Coaching -- when you want to get stuff done, or done faster."
I can see a Life Coaching practice dovetailing nicely with Google and theatre, laying a foundation for my future. Multiple revenue streams, here we come.
So universe, if you're listening -- I want it all, please. A great Google job AND a solid life coach practice AND an easy deepening of my theatre work. And a dancer body, a shining house & yard, a book, a building, a fantastic marriage with fantastic intimacy & sex, and the best year of my life so far, in 2005. love, rachel
