Coaching grounding ritual

In the past few months, I’ve been attending a Coaching Workshop at Automattic, organized by our great Learn team.

We used CfT as a learning resource, but in my experience, the best learning came during the sessions, gently guided by the facilitator.

As time went on, I came up with a grounding ritual that I kept telling myself before the sessions. I found it useful to myself, so I will share it here.

In calming voice, slowly read word by word

I am here.

You have my presence and attention to your speech, your body language and your underlying desires.

I am excited to explore together, and bring to your attention what I notice during our exploration – hesitations, fears, motivations, hidden potential.

I don’t claim to have all the answers but I am willing to be your companion and explore together.

What would you like to explore today?
