Editorial
A very happy New Year to you all. One of the central tenets of coaching is the notion of change 鈥� responding to it, creating it and mastering it. We also know that, before we can create any meaningful change in our lives, we must first reckon with the reality of our current circumstances or situation (the R of the GROW coaching model). In my experience, this can often be the most challenging aspect of change, and potentially the most powerful.
I often wonder if this is why New Year鈥檚 resolutions were created 鈥� a vow made in the dank January gloom while suffering the bloated hangover excesses of the festive season has so much more impact than one made while in sunny denial. After all, to paraphrase the writer Louise Hay, who was often known to remark in her various writings and teachings: if you want to clean your house, you鈥檝e got to be willing to look at the dirt.
We know that change can be uncomfortable, destabilising and frightening, even when wanted. We also know that, whether it is desired, chosen, or foisted upon us, change is always inevitable, and it is happening right now, all around us. We are in the business of change, and our challenge is to learn to greet it with grace, courage, compassion and creativity. When we do this, we help ourselves, as well as our clients.
Speaking of change... you may begin to notice some subtle changes to the appearance of our journal over the next couple of issues, and we would appreciate your feedback and input as we introduce these. As ever, please get in touch if you feel called to contribute or respond to any of the articles or themes arising.
I wish you all the best for the coming year.
