Quote by Bryan Stevenson

“...what these women taught me was the necessity of courage if you’re going to advance justice, if you’re going to be even a complete human being. Sometimes it takes courage to love, to just be who you should be to the people you care about.”

“the Universe at large is the energy source, the client is a lamp (seeking some form of light, be it to shine a light on a problem perhaps, or to lighten a burden they are carrying, or to lighten their spirits), the facilitator is nothing more than the plug that connects the two. She has no part to play beyond connection and possibly translation. Whether the lamp/client chooses to emit light, absorb light, allow light in is entirely up to them. Sometimes people can be so far removed from the reality of who they are, resulting from many wrong turns or mis steps along their life path, that it is difficult for them to light up. It’s taken me many years. Surviving my life had somehow smashed all the lights in my existence and I had stumbled in the dark for most of it. Through this work though, I was beginning to see light again. Perhaps one day I would have the courage to let it shine brightly.”

“How do coaches work their magic? When I talk to most people who haven’t had a coach yet, they often misunderstand what coaching is. They think the coach will tell them exactly what to do to solve their problems or reach their goals. Wrong. The core of coaching is to hold you, the client, as the expert. You know what you need and want better than anyone else, so my job is to help you reveal your path to that goal. I’m not going to make choices for you, but I can help you see options you haven’t thought of, or muster the courage to try something you wouldn’t have on your own.”
