Peer Coaching
June 6, 2008
I cannot stress enough how valuable my last 8 sesssions have been with my Peer Coach (details below). He has inspired & empowered me in ways that I never thought possible. For our final 4 sessions together he is supporting me to quit smoking. This is something I’ve been trying to achieve for many years. I expected the coaching process as a forum for me to voice some issues that may have been bothering me with the goal of them becoming ‘non’ issues. I was hoping the coach would guide me to move forward past these issues. These may have been i) decisions to be made or ii) something that I may have wanted in my life or hoped to change. Every single issue became a non issue in the space of 1 session. He made me think about the necessary action that I was prepared and willing to take for the issue to be resolved and then held me accountable for this – by emailing him as soon as I had undertaken action. My coach is tremendously supportive and skilled in guiding me. With his assistance I moved through many issues with clarity. He has asked timely and appropriate questions that were necessary in empowering me & moving me forward. He was very well-educated and experienced in ‘The Law of Attraction’ & the underlying principles which were a pre requisite for my learning & development & the way I wanted to be coached & to coach. He was able to refer books when I was away on holiday. And he was very warm and engaging & I felt a genuine rapport with him. I also found that he was uncanny in asking all the right questions that enabled me to find my own answers. He held me accountable by asking me to follow up with emails and truly empowered me to make some bold changes. Up until now the highlight has been when he assisted me to make a ‘holiday’ decision within half an hour, which I had been deliberating for weeks over. I was booked on a plane within 24 hours for a trip in merely 2 weeks time. He guided me through my uncertainties, that were mainly fear and unnecessary obstacles that were stopping me from taking a well needed break. Another highlight related to moving house/home twice during our coaching sessions. This was a coaching moment based on the principles of ‘The Law of Attraction’. The first move was into a place that I had previously visualized (and voiced to the coach beforehand) – yet I wasn’t specific at all about visualizing the bedroom. Only being in this new setting for 2 months I was very disheartened when it was time to move again, however the coach made me realize that the bedroom was far from ideal & something that I wouldn’t have manifested – therefore this was not my ideal home. I am very happy to say that my second (and current) place is exactly what I wanted & manifested– bedroom and all!! Waiman is a naturally gifted coach.
