How coach-able are you?
Are you ready for coaching?
Coaching is like fitness training and is not something you can be forced to do. You have to want to do it! There is no point if, for example, you won’t make the time, don’t follow the tasks you have given yourself or otherwise sabotage your own efforts. We will help you help yourself. But are you ready?
“There is a difference between interest and commitment. When you are interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstances permit. When you are committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.” Art Turock.

Cracked Pots, development proverb
An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a
pole which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in it
while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of
water.
At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot
arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the
woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the
perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was
ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half
of what it had been made to do.
After 2 years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the
woman one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, because this crack
in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house."
The old woman smiled, "Did you notice that there are flowers on your side
of the path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always
known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path,
and every day while we walk back, you water them."
"For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to
decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would
not be this beauty to grace the house."
Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each
have that make our lives together so very rich, interesting and rewarding.
You've just got to take each person for who and what they are and look for
the good in them and the beauty and love they bring into your life.
