Why a world-class Kids Life Coach never stays in "The Comfort Zone"
Aug 10, 2020
I remember when I was still a teacher way back in early 2000. I was very much in a “comfort zone”. I loved my job. The hours were the same everyday. I loved the children I taught. I was paid well. I got school holidays...lots of them! It felt safe and comfortable...until I realised I could be doing so much more.
When I told people about my desire to support children outside of the “academic” curriculum....I was told it might not work. That I was overly optimistic and it wasn’t a “safe” choice.
So I started another Degree in Psychology and I attended many many courses...EQ, NLP, CBT, Positive Psychology, Social Psychology....
Over a course of about two years I became very curious and started stepping out of my comfort, fear and growth zones more and more by running family resilience pilot programmes on weekends and doing things out of my teacher “remit”. I found myself actually taking action and making a difference. Parents started asking me to coach their children individually....and so I really had to step up and be courageous....and that is when I launched my first Kids Life Studio in 2005!
Today my choice of stepping out of my comfort zone....choosing to abandon fear....and being willing to grow...has led me to build a global organisation of capable, competent and professional world class Kids Life Coaches!!
I may not know more than you do...In fact, I am a lifelong learner and always growing....I have just worked on my beliefs and I have conquered those that held me back. I choose FAITH over fear....
What do you need to let go of?
Is it time to take action?
I don’t know about you but I feel ever so grateful that I have moulded myself to serve other people’s children.
Ethically...
Sustainably...
I realise now that had I known I couldn’t fail...(despite having made mistakes....those are just learning opportunities right?) I possibly would have moved quicker.
I wouldn’t have wasted time “playing it safe”. I would have taken more risks becaue the payoff of helping children is huge!!!
You see I now know how selfish I was when I was in my comfort zone. Although the children I taught loved me....I wasn’t ever a “traditional” teacher. In my heart I always knew children deserved more of me...that I could give more, do more and be more.
I invite you to learn and grow!! If you are like I was and “dabbling” in your comfort zone and being stuck by fear....
