The Power of Silence
From the start, silence spoke to me,
A quiet force, setting thoughts free.
In the stillness….., space to reflect,
Time to pause……, think, and reconnect.
Yet, I found it challenging to embrace this calm,
As my mind raced forward, seeking its balm.
It became a canvas, vast and wide,
Where insights could blossom, and wisdom could reside.
As both coach and client, I learned to wait,
Navigating the discomfort, recognizing its weight.
In silence, I saw barriers dissolve,
Creating an environment where we could evolve.
The beauty of stillness, an invitation to be,
Encouraging vulnerability and authenticity.
Though it often felt daunting, I chose to engage,
Allowing reflections to shape our shared stage.
In this shared quiet, our minds intertwine,
Illuminating pathways, helping us align.
With each silent moment, connections grew strong,
Reminding us both that silence can belong.
In coaching, this practice became a key,
Unlocking the potential within you and me.
So now I embrace the power of quiet,
In the stillness of space, I find my spirit.
Being with Not Knowing
At first, it filled me with unease,
The need for answers, a longing to please.
But through unconditional positive regard, I found,
A space where trust and growth abound.
Curiosity opened the door to see,
The beauty in not knowing, just letting it be.
Now I’m present, open, aware,
In this regard-filled space, I dare to care.
The Privilege of Pressure
Pressure once felt like a heavy weight to bear,
An overwhelming force that filled me with despair.
Yet deep down, I sensed a spark inside,
A knowing that in challenge, I could truly thrive.
But often, at the last moment, resentment would creep,
Turning potential triumphs into burdens to keep.
Through a flow mindset, I’ve shifted my view,
Embracing each challenge as something new.
Now, instead of fearing what pressure may bring,
I greet it with curiosity, letting my spirit take wing.
In this space of growth, I’ve learned to adapt,
Finding joy in the journey, in each step I’ve mapped.
It’s not just about outcomes; it’s the process I embrace,
Flowing with each moment, finding my place.
With excitement, I welcome the tension and strain,
For in the dance with pressure, true growth I gain.
Diffusion from Thoughts and Energy
Energetic energy, a newfound way,
In both climbing and coaching, it leads the day.
When thoughts arise, I watch them go,
Like clouds, they pass, and the energy flows.
Through the course, I learned to harness this force,
Guided by you coaches, I discovered the source.
You helped me to sense when my energy wanes,
And how to redirect it, release the reins.
With your support, I found my own answers, too,
Exploring the rhythms of what feels true.
This energetic awareness brings clarity and flow,
Creating synchronicity, letting my insights grow.
Creativity and Play Bring Flow
In coaching, play became part of my guide,
A simple way to stay present, stride by stride.
Each session a canvas, where ideas could flow,
Inviting spontaneity, allowing me to grow.
With creativity, flow arrives with ease,
As we navigate challenges, discovering keys.
In playful moments, I find my release,
Unlocking the wisdom that brings inner peace.
Embracing the lightness, I shed all the weight,
Finding clarity in movement, I resonate.
These moments of play invite trust and connection,
Creating a space for authentic reflection.
In this dance of discovery, we both engage,
Fueling our growth, page by page.
Integration with My Climbing
On my project, the lessons all aligned,
A culmination of knowledge, each thread entwined.
With a flow mindset guiding my every move,
I felt a rhythm emerge, a natural groove.
Thanks to you coaches, I learned to refine,
Embracing each challenge, allowing my spirit to shine.
As pressure built, I remained in the zone,
Grounded and present, I felt not alone.
In coaching sessions, I found tools to engage,
Transforming my mindset, turning the page.
With mastery as my focus, growth became clear,
An evolution of spirit, a journey sincere.
Thoughts arose like clouds, tempting me to stray,
But I welcomed them softly, then watched them drift away.
From my piano coaching, I drew on that grace,
Transferring the flow to this climbing space.
In this state of awareness, I found my resolve,
A quiet confidence that helped me evolve.
With total control, I trusted my form,
Navigating each movement, steady and strong.
As I reached for each hold, I felt the flow,
A seamless connection, allowing me to grow.
In that powerful moment, all lessons combined,
The essence of climbing, my spirit aligned.
Integration with Lattice
In coaching, I’ve found my rhythm, my flow,
A pre-coaching routine helps my energy grow.
This sacred space, where intentions align,
Sets the stage for connection, a moment divine.
I take a deep breath, grounding my mind,
Inviting the present, leaving distractions behind.
I feel the bubble, the pulse of our connection,
Where listening deeply sparks mutual reflection.
In this atmosphere, trust begins to build,
Creating a canvas for potential to be filled.
The subtle cues of energy flow,
Guide our conversations, allowing us to grow.
As I step into my role with Lattice in hand,
I’ll weave in these lessons, a purpose so grand.
The flow framework gives me ground,
A structure where confidence is truly found.
With each step I take, I feel more secure,
A guiding philosophy that helps me endure.
In this dance of coaching, we both thrive,
Sharing wisdom and growth, keeping dreams alive.
Together we’ll navigate, explore the unknown,
As I support others in making their strengths known.
Future Inhibitors
Yet, I know, doubt can still creep in,
A quiet whisper where fears begin.
It questions my path, shakes my stride,
Making me wonder if I should hide.
A lack of trust in self might start to grow,
A hesitation when I should flow.
I might second-guess my every move,
Forget that I have nothing to prove.
But confidence is something I must regain,
To walk this path with purpose, without strain.
Getting too comfortable could stall my growth,
Settling in, I could lose my drive.
When the familiar feels safe and known,
I must push beyond, leave the comfort zone.
For it’s in discomfort that learning thrives,
And in stretching myself, my passion survives.
And with time and distance may blur the lines,
I could forget these hard-earned signs.
The lessons learned, the progress made,
Could slip away, begin to fade.
But I’ll hold tight to the wisdom gained,
To keep evolving, unrestrained.
Future Facilitators
But with friends, colleagues, a community strong,
Their shared support will carry me along.
In their wisdom, I’ll find new ways to grow,
A circle of trust where insights flow.
Together, we’ll face challenges with grace,
In this connection, I’ve found my place.
With intrinsic drive as my guiding light,
A quiet force that fuels my flight,
I’ll stay committed to goals that are mine,
Driven by purpose, not pressure or time.
This inner spark will keep me aligned,
A constant source to clear my mind.
With a flow-filled mind, present and free,
I’ll embrace each challenge, let it be.
The path to mastery is never straight,
But with focus and passion, I’ll navigate.
Each step a lesson, each move refined,
In this journey, true mastery I’ll find.
Help and Resources
Through supervision, I’ll gain new sight,
A guiding hand that sharpens my insight.
With feedback clear and support in view,
I’ll refine my practice and break through.
Each session a chance to grow and learn,
A place where my skills can truly turn.
Books and knowledge, learning new,
Are endless wells I’ll keep turning to.
With every page, a fresh perspective,
A source of wisdom, broad and reflective.
Applying these lessons to all that I do,
Will keep me grounded, steady, and true.
The Flow Center offers a steady ground,
Where like-minded peers can be found.
In their shared knowledge, I’ll find my stride,
With their guidance, I’ll maintain my pace,
And continue growing in this valuable space.
