Got a new coach!

Yes!

Finally, I got a new coach, and we’ve sealed the deal (which means I paid the full amount for 3 months coaching up front). And you know what? I am so excited to start this agreement. I am curious as to what lessons I will learn, what insights I will get, and what might come out of this relationship.

My new coach asked me, during our intake session, what I wanted from her, and I replied with these two things:
1) I want you to ask me the questions that I don’t think to ask of myself.
2) But more importantly, I want you to ask me the questions I am afraid to ask of myself.

She listened to what I said, heard where it came from within me, exhaled and then hummed a bit, before saying ”I love that!”. I am very eager to start, and soon I will, in person, whereas the rest of our sessions will be done over SKYPE mostly, and email if need be.

It’s definitely a hefty investment to make (and don’t for a second think that an investment has to be a monetary one!), but you know what? It’s an investment in me. And I’ve definitely gotten rid of my formerly very strong belief, that I am not worthy of making any kind of investment in my, let alone one this significant. Because I am worthy of it. Absolutely! And so are you. So in what way, and how much do you invest in yourself?

Överväldigad. Och tacksam.

I förrgårkväll skickade jag ut ett klipp på You Tube där jag ber om hjälp att boka 100 coaching-konversationer på 30 dagar. Igår eftermiddag bloggade jag om detsamma.

Vänner och bekanta, samt för mig helt okända människor, har delat på olika forum och det har gett gensvar ska du veta. Jag har redan fyllt en tredjedel av de 100 platserna och många nämner vem som puffat dem i min riktning. På två dygn. Jag är alldeles överväldigad och enormt tacksam!

Så tack alla som hjälpt mig! Utmaningen är långt från slutförd, så jag hoppas ni fortsätter hjälpa mig mot till. I gengäld lovar jag att hjälpa dem som behöver det! Det är en viktig ingrediens i världen så som jag vill att den ska vara!

Ett sätt jag bidrar till den världen jag vill leva i är just genom att dela med mig av det jag är bra på, att vara närvarande och lyssna till mina klienter, både det sagda och det osagda. Kanske vill även du testa den upplevelsen?

Hjälp mig boka in 100 coaching-konversationer!

Uppdatering 15 sept 2014: Alla 100 platser fylldes med ett halvt dygn till godo! Om du önskat att du också fått en plats så får du höra av dig så löser vi det med!

—————-

Jag behöver din hjälp. Igen.
Jag har nämligen antagit en utmaning och kan bara klara den tillsammans med dig.

Här kan du höra mer om vad utmaningen består av och vilken hjälp jag behöver:

Anledningen till att jag gör detta är tvåfaldig (minst):
1) Jag älskar att möta nya människor, och lockas verkligen av tanken att träffa 100 för mig kända eller okända personer, att få lyssna till dem, och utforska en idé, ett tänkt problem, spinna på en vision eller bara ta ett riktigt djupt samtal om livet!
2) Det är en utmaning för mig. Under det senaste året har jag inte bokat in så många som 100 coaching-konversationer, och nu ska jag dessutom åstadkomma det på 30 dagar!

Håller tummarna för att du, eller någon i ditt nätverk, skulle vilja ha en av de 100 coaching-konversationerna. Om så är fallet nås jag enklast via epost på helena.roth at respondi.se, men du kan så klart skriva en kommentar här i bloggen, skicka mig ett DM på Twitter eller inboxa mig på Facebook också.

(Som om det inte räcker med utmaningen som så… Jag påbörjade utmaningen den 18 augusti, avslutar den 16 september och har redan en massa inbokat under den tiden, bland annat en tripp till Santa Monica för sista helgen av Supercoach Academy!

Inte utan att det trillar in tankar som AAAAAHHHHHGGGGGHHHHHH, hur i allsin dar ska jag nånsin kunna fullfölja detta!! Jag kommer ju aldrig kunna lägga tillräckligt med tid på detta! Det kommer aldrig att gå!

Men, sen landar jag i vissheten att det där är tankar, och inte nödvändigtvis Sanningen. Så jag väljer att inte agera på tankar som dessa utan kör mitt race ändå.)

Hur kan du hjälpa mig uppnå mitt mål?

Mindblown!

The two days of The Independence Intensive with Rich Litvin and Steve Chandler didn’t blow my mind. I would have liked more, longer, deeper, more challenges, and above all more interaction with all the magnificent people attending the event.

However, watching Rich turn on his high-flame coaching in a nanosecond has been a true inspiration to witness. I’m gonna be much more fearless and vulnerable myself in my coaching from now on. Thanks Rich for modelling that for me in the most authentic way!

And Steve Chandler, the man with the voice that I struggled not to get stuck on. Now I love that voice, and even more, I love his message. And his humor. Man, that’s one funny man! I will keep on listening to your pods, and read your books, and your generosity is simply amazing. You make me reflect, think and act, and I thank you for that. You’ve flipped my mind several times already, and I look forward to more flips ahead!

20140720-234205-85325104.jpg

The resources made available to me/us as attendees, both before, during and after the event, all in themselves are value enough for the price of the Intensive. I will continue to grow and evolve as a direct result of all these resources!

1,5 day in. Enter: Steve Hardison.

And my mind blew. Totally.

I’ve never ever experienced presence like that. I’ve never met anyone so present. And it wasn’t the words he said. Not at all. It was where he was coming from. A place of love. 100% love. And 100% willingness to serve.

I am at a loss for words. But during the break after Hardison spoke, my whole body vibrated. And I was filled with a new purpose, a commitment so deep and immediate I feel all shook up.

20140720-233821-85101897.jpg

The main message from Steve Hardison was simple. Just be me. Whatever that is, be it, and be it fully. Be fully that which I am. And that which I am can change at any moment, and that’s just the way it is. But at the same time, Steve Hardison models beautifully how it’s possible to practice to live a life of love. Cuz love is all there is. Live. And love. Namaste Steve Hardison, namaste.

I have now gotten a resolve for two things:
1) Living and loving life, and doing it by being me.
2) Honouring the gift of life by serving the world and those around me.

Again. My mind just blew. And I love it. And boy am I grateful to myself for doing this sort of thing, attending challenging and potentiallty mindblowing events. What an experience!

When did you last have a mind blowing experience?

What’s my legacy?

Am attending a two day Independence intensive with Rich Litvin and Steve Chandler and we are asked to play the deathbed game by answering two questions:

What’s my legacy? What contribution do I want to make in the world?

We get a 5 min reflection time, to ponder these questions and our own mortality. Meanwhile Allison Crow is the visual recorder at the event and she’s capturing the deathbed game this way:

20140719-233343-84823613.jpg

I pick up my phone and start to write an email to myself. My mind immediately wanders towards the Swedish movement the school spring, aka #skolvåren, that I am one of the initiators of, and which for me is a conduit for one of the great passions of my life: the set goal I have to change school systems globally by 2020.

But what lies behind that, what’s the passion driving me? Why do I want to do this?

Well, in short because I see so much wasted and untapped potential just withering and shrivelling away, going unused, perishing. And that’s to the detriment of us all, I tell you. We have challenges today and tomorrow that require something else from humanity than what created the problems now challenging us. And to paraphrase Albert Einstein, you cannot solve a problem from within the same state of mind that created it in the first place.

So, I want more of us (all of us!) to level up. To climb up the ladder of consciousness, to a higher level. That’s what I see is in store for us, for humanity. We have but one way forward if we want to remain here on Earth and that is to level up. There is no doubt in my mind on that one.

I want a world inhabited by people who are consciously creating the world, rather than just reacting to what happens. And that’s why I want to change school systems on a global scale – because in today’s modern society school has a HUGE impact on all of out lives. So we need to make sure it’s an impact for the better, for the good of humanity, for the lives of the born and the unborn.

In short, that’s my contribution to the world.

What’s your legacy?

#blogg100 gav mig Rasmus visdom på pränt

Och för det är jag oerhört tacksam och glad. Han hoppade på utmaningen att blogga dagligen under 100 dagar och det med besked. Rasmus är min coach, min vän och tillråga på allt Supercoach Academy-kollega, och oj vad han ger bra tankespjärn den mannen. Dessutom formulerar han sig väldigt väl, tycker jag.

20140315-043331.jpg

Under 100 dagar (från den 1 mars då #blogg100-utmaningen drog igång) kommer Rasmus skriva om hur det egentligen fungerar, det där med tankar och känslor. Så följ hans blogg på www.klarsikt.se – och gillar du hans sida på Facebook kan du enkelt dela vidare hans förståelse av världen med andra.

Har du nånsin försökt sätta ord på din förståelse av världen?

SCA2014 Connection weekend, day four – on top of the world!

So, time for the last and final day of the second of four weekends of Supercoach Academy. A half day of class, with reflections, sharing an an exercise, and afterwards hugs and more hugs.

Went to Salisbury hotel afterwards and met up with Rachel. And man have we had a blast of a time, let me tell you! Amongst other things we went up to the Top of the rock, that is, the Rockefeller Center.

20140317-041442.jpg

Behind me you can see the Empire State Building. Great view as you can see from this picture. From up there New York and Manhattan seem almost serene. Then I came down to street level, and the hustle and bustle of the city takes a firm grip of me again. It’s a weird feeling to be in such a vertical place as much of mid- and downtown of Manhattan is. I have been able to rest a bit from this vertical experience by going into Central Park. The nature, trees, green expanse and being able to look far ahead have been soothing.

What would happen to the residents here, if they didn’t have the ability to have some horizontal space such as Central Park provides?

SCA2014 Connection weekend, day three

Looking back at today I am very thankful that Silvio and I took a walk south in Central Park this morning, on the way to the venue. I miss nature, staying in the bustling city of New York, on Manhattan.

20140316-050925.jpg
We walked past a sign stating this was The Swedish Cottage, but me and Silvio both agreed it looked more Austrian or something. But there was a sign stating it had been transported here from Sweden during the 1880s or something.

Coming close to the west border of the park, we could hear the thump thump of the city, almost like the heartbeat of it. I felt it was almost something I could touch. But I wasn’t ready to leave the expanse of nature and horizontal views just yet, so we walked a few more blocks inside the park instead, before finally venturing out into the land of tall buildings, plenty of people, the hustle and bustle of the city.

In the third day of Connection Weekend I got so much. Insights. And love. Tears. Big feelings. Hugs. Mara Gleason is really awesome, so if you have a chance to meet up with her, do, you won’t regret it!

After class I tagged along some friends of SCA, and have had an absolutely lovely evening! But am tired now, and ready to go to sleep, to rest up for the last half day of this second SCA2014-weekend.

And then the third leg of this journey begins. I am headed to a hotel, where I will also get a new room mate. My friend Rachel whom I’ve known for 20 years but have never met away from keyboard has come up from Alabama to meet up with me. Isn’t that amazing?

Wow, what a day. Mara Gleason was our guest teacher/guide/conversation partner for the day, and it’s been a ride alright!

But it actually started with me finding Silvio down at the cafeteria of the hostel when I came down for breakfast, and he asked if I wanted to take a walk up to Columbia University. So we did, and it was really nice. Extra special since my little brother went there recently – looked like a really nice campus to spent time at!

20140315-040711.jpg

Took the tube to Times Square, where I got off to walk the last blocks to the venue for the training. Two major things happened there today, major for me that is. The first was when I volunteered to be coached by Mara, which gave me reassurance concerning an assignment I’ve just taken on. The second was a one-on-one coaching exercise where my SCA-colleague Sacha Ivis guided me through a very significant meeting with one of my oldest and still alive & kicking squiggles.

Only SCA2014-participants might get the meaning of that right now, but there will be more on it here, sometime, for sure. But briefly, squiggles is what happens when I get stuck on a thought, and just can’t seem to let it go. Feels familiar?

So, I have spent five days on Long Island at Max and Mary’s place. Oh. And Angie, not to forget, Angie the beagle, the sweetest dog alive! There will be more on her later though.

Windy and cold in New York City, outside Penn Station

Day one of the Connection weekend of Supercoach Academy flew by in a jiffy, and it has been a day of plenty full-body goose bump experiences, or God bumps, as my fellow SCA-student William calls it. For me, they let me know I am in touch with energies both within and without, and it has surely been a great day. Look forward to tomorrow!

After the class was out, I got on the tube to 103rd Street station, and walked a block to the New York Hihostel, where I checked in. Relaxed for a bit until my dinner date showed up.

20140314-040513.jpg
Silvio Nardo stay at the Hihostel just like I do, and suggested an Ayurvedic restaurant when I said I prefer vegetarian. Great food! Wanted to commemorate the occasion, but found out that it’s not very easy to do selfies from a mini iPad.

20140314-040533.jpg
The waiter gladly helped us though.

20140314-040546.jpg
Good spot, The Ayurveda Cafe, with a nice story behind it.

Once back at in my room, I went to open my padlock for my locker… But it just wouldn’t open! So I had to walk down to reception asking for their help to break into my locker…

20140314-041237.jpg

All in all a day filled with adventure, and in the words of Silvio, explaining the feeling he has around the Three Principles It’s like you are a beginner every day. I really like that, because there sure is a special sensation when you are new at something and do it for the love of it, wondrous to the magic of it. And really, isn’t that a great way to go about life?
