The Koi Story
Are you curious about the Koi on my site? They hold a lot of meaning, and inspiration, for me. These fish are really amazing. They remind me a lot of my clients.
"Interestingly, koi, when put in a fish bowl, will only grow up to three inches. When this same fish is placed in a large tank, it will grow to about nine inches long. In a pond koi can reach lengths of eighteen inches. Amazingly, when placed in a lake, koi can grow to three feet long. The metaphor is obvious. You are [only] limited by how you see the world." ~Vince Poscente
And that's a good description of my lens for my coaching philosophy. I believe we are only limited by how big we can dream and the choices we allow ourselves to make. I believe in my clients a lot. I push them to do things that might make them a little uncomforable (but never unsafe or without my support). In the end, it's because I believe they are BIG fish, trapped in little ponds and just need to give themselves permission to grow, bigger. Sometimes, that means leaving the fish bowl for the ocean.
