 I
came to Coaching via India. In 1997, I lived for nine months
in an Indian ashram and when I returned to Cape Cod, my
life didn't fit me. Very soon I was introduced to a coach
and I began making big changes. I quit my job as Children's
Librarian and enrolled in the training at CoachU.
The process of integrating what I learned on spiritual retreat
into my daily life is ongoing. Recently, I developed a service
called Sabbatical Coaching to address that need for others.
People who want to create a Time-Out for themselves can
explore, plan and maximize the possibilities with the support
of a coach.
Other aspects of my background have been weaving in and
out of my coaching practice. In 1991, through an inspiring
string of coincidences, I played Joan of Ark in a local
production of The Lark. It so happens that this was the
play that launched my father's directing career on Broadway.
(Julie Harris was Joan that year!) Since the only obstacle
besides incompetency (I'd never acted before) was terror,
I proceeded.
To make a long story short, my leap of faith opened the
doors to several new habits: trusting the Universe, pursuing
my visions, accessing the power of focus, and facing down
my inner critics. In the next few years, I created, produced
and performed my own multi-media experimental theatre pieces,
drawing on skills from another career in TV documentary
production.
Well, all things being intertwined… beginning in January
2001, I'll be offering a Teleclass called The Joan of Arc
Seminars: your vision, your courage, your allies, your path.
