A few month ago I took the challenge of coaching somebody who wanted to get out of a breakdown and to become a leader within an NGO. I met her yesterday (after a few weeks), and she seemed to be a totally different person. She completely changed her mindset, she became more open and started to communicate and share her responsibilities & concerns with her team. I only had several coaching sessions with her – she did the job, it is her merit – I was there just listening and believing in her capabilities as a leader! But I must say I did not expect such a quick and radical change. It is amazing to actually see that one has the powers to entirely change context (within the same world). She started from feeling miserable and became full of joy, inspired and cheerful, apparently within the same situation (the same job, the same colleagues). It works – wow!
