10Y ago, I was in a year long, intensive coach training.
I’d been painting for a couple of years at this point, but along the way in this training program, these doodle drawings and little quotes just started emerging. When I tried to describe it to others, they pretty much said, ‘you do art stuff, this is art stuff, what’s the difference?’ But these felt VERY different in my brain.
In chatting with one of my coach mentors, she suggested that coach training was very likely opening and rewiring parts of my brain. It was not at all uncommon for them to see program participants change dramatically and new creative patterns was simply one of those ways.
In my mind, I took coach training to become a coach to help others. Little did I know that my heart had other plans. Apparently I took coach training to change myself.
