• 0:12

  distinctions, possibilities, new ways of thinking, and just bring
• 0:20
  some joy into the world. So welcome to the coop and let's

  start your day off in a fantastic way.
• 0:27
  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  So have you ever considered how much we affect each other when
• 0:36
  we're in the process of talking about anything, like just
• 0:40
  anything we could, we can say 1 little thing and how it affects
• 0:45
  somebody else and how it, it dissuades them and puts the pin
• 0:48
  in their balloon, takes them down a rabbit hole, whatever it
• 0:50
  is. And I'm not even talking about
• 0:51
  people that are very close to us.
• 0:52
  I'm talking about people that are just around us.
• 0:55
  Recently I was speaking to a client who had was talking about
• 1:00
  how a potential job change would come up and how this would be
• 1:05
  something that he was thinking about doing.
• 1:08
  And he had spoken to somebody about it.
• 1:11
  And this person was, I, I won't say negative.
• 1:14
  I would say this person probably would frame themselves as being
• 1:18
  very realistic. However, they were not
• 1:20
  enthusiastic, and in their quest to be realistic, they kind of
• 1:26
  ruined the whole thing for him, which was shocking to me because
• 1:29
  you would think that they would be, you know, helpful since
• 1:34
  that's their profession. Like, if someone comes to me and
• 1:37
  says I'm considering coaching, I have no problem talking to
• 1:41
  people about it. I want people to understand how
• 1:44
  great it is to coach, how there's such a fulfilling
• 1:47
  feeling to help people and to, you know, put them on, give them
• 1:52
  the skill to be able to help themselves.
• 1:54
  And when we coach and we do these things, it's like such a,
• 1:57
  it's such a gift to everybody to be able to help them.
• 2:01
  Now, is everything about this profession easy?
• 2:04
  No, it's not even remotely easy. There's so much about it that's
• 2:07
  not easy. And I still do it and there's so
• 2:12
  much about it that's fantastic. The fantastic outweighs the
• 2:16
  heavier stuff. And I think that most things are
• 2:20
  like that duality. There's always going to be good
• 2:25
  and and and not so good. There's always going to be dark
• 2:28
  and light, but sharing with other people is important.
• 2:33
  It's imperative. It's, it's critical that if
• 2:37
  you're going to share with other people, try to share from a
• 2:40
  place of optimism with a mix of like, well, I'll tell you my
• 2:45
  like how I think of it. And I always say to people,
• 2:48
  listen, coaching is like a beautiful, rewarding, wonderful
• 2:54
  profession. And at the same time, you have
• 2:57
  to take care of yourself so you don't become drained.
• 2:59
  And you have to make sure that you give time to yourself to
• 3:03
  heal up in between days when you're coaching, because it can
• 3:09
  be, it can be draining, but you have to learn how to protect
• 3:12
  your, your emotions, your, how to protect your energy.
• 3:15
  And you have to be willing to go out and talk to people so they
• 3:19
  know you're doing it. I, I give it to them in that
• 3:23
  frame. I don't say, well, it's tough
• 3:26
  selling. Oh, it's this Like I don't ever
• 3:29
  want to frame something like that because I don't want to be
• 3:33
  the the thing that makes someone choose a no unless I am 1000%
• 3:39
  certain it is a horrible profession or a horrible thing.
• 3:44
  It like it going to a certain restaurant.
• 3:45
  We use that as an example. If they say, oh, I want to go to
• 3:47
  this place, I would be like, my experience has been it's been
• 3:49
  terrible. I will come right out and say
• 3:52
  it. I had a terrible experience.
• 3:54
  You should decide for yourself, but my experience was terrible
• 3:58
  and I'm very clear about saying it in those in that frame.
• 4:02
  At the same time, it's so important to remember what if
• 4:07
  they were sharing and you were the only person they shared
• 4:10
  with? What if you were the one person
• 4:12
  they decided, I want to talk to somebody about this and you
• 4:16
  decide to just make them feel like there's no chance, there's
• 4:20
  no possibilities. I live in a in a world filled
• 4:24
  with possibilities. I live in a world filled with
• 4:26
  good quality. Like I can make things happen.
• 4:31
  Sure, maybe sometimes things don't go as planned.
• 4:34
  Of course, this is called being human.
• 4:36
  But I, I choose to live in the possibility frame all the time.
• 4:40
  I will not move out of that. There's always a possibility.
• 4:43
  There's always a way to reframe. There's always a way to think of
• 4:46
  something. So when you're doing this and
• 4:49
  you're having these conversations, be conscientious
• 4:51
  of making sure the other person feels that you have good
• 4:56
  intentions, making sure that you are lifting them up and not
• 5:01
  deflating them. Because what's the point in
• 5:04
  that? It it just doesn't, it doesn't
• 5:06
  add to someone's life and it doesn't add the value.
• 5:09
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I
• 5:13
  will see you all tomorrow. Bye.
