“The unexamined life is not worth living.” Socrates
Socrates believed that the purpose of human life was personal and spiritual growth. We are unable to grow toward greater understanding of our true nature unless we take the time to examine and reflect upon our life. As another philosopher, Santayana, observed,
He who does not remember the past is condemned to repeat it.
Examining our life reveals patterns of behavior. Deeper contemplation yields understanding of the subconscious programming, the powerful mental software that runs our life. Unless we become aware of these patterns, much of our life is unconscious repetition.
What is Coaching?
The coaching process begins with an agreement between the coach and an individual who is seeking the support of a coach.
Within this the roles, responsibilities, expectations are put into place.
An agreement between two or more people or organizations in which they promise to do something.
