GETTING TO THE HEART OF THINGS

You probably have noticed that I am constantly talking about “getting to the heart of things.” I didn’t realize just how much I talk about that or even use that phrase, not for a long time. Then I began getting feedback about my use of that phrase. “How come you are always talking about getting to the heart of things?” And as is typical with feedback, I was stunned at first. It was a reflection that I had not seen of myself. I really had not noticed how often I use that phrase or how frequently I keep coming back to the heart of things.

In Geneva this year I did a full day on the seven models of Meta-Coaching. At one of the breaks, an Executive Coach asked how I was able to so regularly and consistently focus in a way that would get to the most relevant points so quickly. I then asked, “Is that your perspective of what happens when you see the demonstrations?” And to my surprise, they said yes.
