Phase 3 – Coaching Essentials – New Zealand – April 09

Living Springs Conference Center, just up the mountain from Christchurch, is a beautiful, misty, mystical place to spend a weekend. The 17 coaches-in-training, the 3 team
members, and Clare Vivian-Neal are pathmates you can count on while
relishing the journey. It was one of the those weekends for which I was truly
grateful to have been a part. The weekend itself was residential, so we
were in an environment that lent itself to fellowship and deepening the
bonds that were already present. People made leaps into their trust of themselves and of the journey of coaching.

Saturday evening during an exercise, two people, trusting themselves and the possibilities inherent in that moment, took advantage of what was on offer and opened new opportunities for both, as well as for the group.

For myself, I gained a deeper respect for this work and even more wonder at the perfection of seemingly random drawings of cards. I was inspired over and over by the courageous response of the heart to wade into unknown territory. A most fulfilling weekend!  Thank you ALL.
