Tribulations of a reorientation — business coach — n°1 (English)
The « white page syndrome ».
I just experienced it at a very humble level of course when I opened my word document, totally white.
Although I am neither a writer, nor a journalist nor a blogger, I am about to keep a written trace of my experiences.
I admit there is far less stakes than for people who live from their pen.
This is completely new for me, 100% out of my « confort zone » (I seriously deviated out of it the past few months), against my principle of reserve and discretion (sort of sweet and sour mix of education, & French Judeo-Christian culture).
During the long minutes where the small vertical bar flashed on and off on the immaculate page, I asked myself what where the reasons that pushed me to write?
I am leaving here the very simplistic results of my introspection:
Keep some trace of what I write
Force me to write down what I feel, what I live in order to be able to visualise my evolution as the days and months goes by.
Share my experience of what it is like to build a business coach activity in 2019.
You will say to me « why don’t you keep it for you » , fair enough!
Well, because I have been shaken up side down by my favorite coach …. Bad answer, at least partially :-/
More than everything, it is clear for me that I need to are and exchange on my experience. If I remain quiet, prudent and reasonable in my corner, I will neither grow nor make any contribution to the world.
I took the decision with myself to write a few lines everyday and to see where that is taking me, driving me, landing me. In front of witness, I will be forced to show how I am moving ahead.
I choose LinkedIn because it has been alongside my career and I am more at ease with it than facebook, twitter, instagram and all the other social media I don’t know (yet), as there are not my cup of tea.
I lay down here those few lines on a very personnel path without expecting anything back.
That is said!
I am very glad I made it.
To be continued….
