This morning I took and passed the level 1 coaching exam for my credential. It mainly focused on ethics, which I appreciated.

It's taken me many months of education and practice to get to this point. And still I'm facing the negative stereotype of coaches or the lack of understanding about what coaching is from others.

The coaching I have learned and am practicing is client led, compassionate, open-hearted, and consent based. I see coaching as a tool for self-development and forward movement in a nonjudgmental environment.

I like that it's a whole-human approach and its results can be backed up by neuroscience.

I also want to offer what I see the world needs more of: active listening, presence, and connection.

I want to do this in a way true to myself and my values and respectful to others.

@Furthering So interesting! I’m studying to become a personal trainer after being an academic focusing on trauma-informed practices. I’m interested too in integrating a kind, supportive approach to coaching in physical fitness.

@Furthering trauma-informed practices? Nothing unusual. It was just an area of research that interested me. I liked the idea of supporting people who struggle the most. Self included.
