Who Coaches the Coach?

Elizabeth Potts Weinstein — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 19:16:08 +0000

Back in February & March I spent a month in the Declaration of You ecourse by Jessica Swift & Michelle Ward, for me to get some more clarity on who I am and where I’m going …

yep, pretty much what I do for everyone in my events & programs!

But the thing is, I need coaching too!

It’s hard for me to have any objectivity about my own Live Your Truth-ing, not-just-shoulding, calling-me-on-my-crap, even though I’ve created the freaking programs and am in the middle of writing the book.

(And, by the way, if you meet a coach / teacher / guru / blogger / leader who acts as if they don’t need to study / grow / learn / reexamine their own crap … be very wary. If you’re no longer growing, you’re shrinking.)

So, without further ado, here’s the Declaration of ElizabethPW!

I declare that doing things that make me feel expansive, peaceful, useful, important, connected, and in the moment, turn me on.

I declare that above all I’m unique because I’m smart, creative, brave, open, accepting, receptive, fun, honest, committed, and create a space for others to live their truth.

I declare that I’m willing to set the stage by asking for help, taking personal risks, accepting where I am, letting go of the clock and to do list & just being, letting people connect with me, and by taking a moment to breathe.

I declare that I am successful every day when I connect with people who love me, when I have fun, and when I feel inspired, confident, peaceful, and unbound by time.

I declare that money adds value to my life by giving me more opportunities to feel pretty, reduce tension, explore my boundaries, spend time with people I love (including myself), support my daughter’s growth & joy, and connect with the beauty of the world.

I declare that it’s important for me to celebrate my wins (both big and small) because I need to acknowledge and appreciate my awesomeness and how far I have come!

I declare that I can trust that there are people who love me, that my desires were designed by my creator, that I am here & the people I’m with were put here for a reason, that inspiration is a valuable resource people pay for, and all things happen easier, better & faster without me forcing or worrying about it.

Why I Never Want to Be Called a Guru … part 2

Are you sick of trying to portray yourself as completely successful & perfect all of the time?

Especially since life is complicated. Sometimes stuff goes wrong. Or gets messy. Or gets harder.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could just tell the entire story, the whole truth, and people would still love you and buy your stuff?

Have you been told you need to become a guru or an expert to build your business or speaking career?

That you must reduce access to you (not answer your own phone, not answer your own email, not speak to people at your events, have someone else manage your social media) in order to appear successful? That you must distance yourself from your people / community / tribe?

So … how’s that working for you? Not that great, eh? Yeah. Exactly.
