My Coaching Practice is like the Redwood Tress

My coaching Practice is like the Giant Redwood trees in California. Nearly 400 feet tall, it takes approximately 15 people holding hands to circle the base of the tree trunk. The redwoods have stood for hundreds of years. They have withstood fire, drought, storm and siege from their human counterparts, and still they stand while other trees around them crumble.

What is it about the Giant Redwoods that helps them stand so majestically?What we don’t see when we look at the Redwoods are the deep, penetrating, thick roots that lay under the ground. The Redwoods roots run deep into the ground, strong and secure. They entwine with the roots of other Redwoods in the forest so that not only do they stand tall and strong for hundreds of years, but they help their neighbours stand tall and strong for hundreds of years as well.

My coaching practice is like the Redwood tress, I need to have strong roots in order to stand to my full potential as a coach and weather any storm that may come my way. My personal values and character are my roots! They will be my foundation that everything is built on.

Like the roots of the Redwood tress, I will not live my life purpose alone, I will 'entwine' myself with other coaches and my coaching community to create 'an army of coaches' to make our best contributions for a better world where fulfilling lives are lived! We as coaches will stand tall and strong together as a community.

My commitment is to do my best to help and support other coaches along the way in my little own way to "Empower HIS Leaders". #CPCC #IAmACoach #MGSCC #CALC #GCDF #EmpoweringHISLeaders
