We all have pearls we can cast out into the world. Pearls of wisdom, creativity, insight and knowledge to name a few. These pearls of expression make others think, feel or imagine in new ways.
Coaches, facilitators and transformative mediators can be catalysts. They can create conditions wherein it is safe to risk casting your pearls. Whether you try a new skill, tap into a strength you’ve not explored, face and move beyond a fear, develop new confidence or a new way of relating to yourself and others, these endeavors are the oysters within which new pearls are formed.
Careers in occupational therapy, coaching and facilitation have offered me the privilege of listening to, learning from and serving thousands of clients. Whether the goal is thriving beyond injury or trauma, whether it is a keen desire to grow or invent, or whether conflict is a barrier to enjoyment of life, sometimes all we need is a catalyst to spark the shift.
