A context for life and leadership.

Interesting week. Two new clients, one in the area of Equine Assisted Coaching, http://www.coachingtoys.com my favorite thing to do, and one corporate transition coaching client who is moving to the next place in her career/life. Then there is one of my current clients with whom I have been working for years both in coaching and Organization Development, who has been offered a major promotion in his company. What an amazing feeling! I am always so happy to hear that people find value in the work we are doing together.

Let's get this straight...

• I get to do what I love most and get paid for it.
  
• Helping someone with their transition strengthens my journey through my own transition.
  
• I actually get to see concrete results of a long-term coaching and consulting relationship.

How did this happen while 'not pushing'? This week's answer is ...

Qigong, the specific art of cultivating life energy, vitality and vigor.

All I can say is Milton Rivera. (gigonghealing@gmail.com). Milton is a healer with 18 years of study in the field. Born in El Salvador, he moved to the States at 19 and started studying the ancient art of Qigong. "I do more than break blockages," he says. "I teach people how to break them themselves."

Milton came down to do some work on me and several others in Wellington, FL this week. I was definitely in a different place as a result of this healing work. The connection to and healing of myself is a way for me to experience my deepest power. I believe this awareness extends to what is in my environment. That includes the clients that come to me as well as the ones with whom I am already in relationship. The next step is to become more established in it. Milton and Qigong are definitely in my future.

Keep in mind, as I certainly have to almost every day, that being clear about what you want, thinking strategically about it and having a plan are critical to establishing a foundation to attract abundance without a lot of pushing. Although this is what I coach and consult on, I can still get stuck in thinking that I have to press so hard in each of these areas and control it all. Qigong helps me to let go of it all, breathe and trust that I have done all I can for the moment. At least until the next time I feel the need to control...
