I just spent three days at a {life} coaching training in Washington, DC. Seriously, I don't even know where to begin.
After my last three days of training, I wrote this post and shared how every molecule in my body had changed. I think that happened again. Every part of me has changed.
This course was on balance - life, work, relationship, any balance - and how to help myself and others achieve that. The tools and my new skills are incredible - which may sound completely arrogant - but, I am not kidding. What I learned is life-changing and because CTI is masterful at teaching (more on that in a moment), I completely had the opportunity to hone my new skills and grow them. I even used my new skills & tools on a coachee already; the coaching session was transformational for that person and I credit my CTI training.
Now, you know I am a trained educator - a teacher. I take teaching, learning, and instruction VERY seriously. Probably my highest compliment in the world is to say a training or class is well done and valuable. CTI takes "well done" and "valuable" to a level that is nirvana-like. Never in my life have I attended not one, but THREE trainings/classes so thoughtfully crafted and 100% valuable to me and every single person I come in contact with in life. I am not exaggerating when I say I can use these skills and tools at my college, with students, in my classes, with colleagues, with my family, in my parenting, in all my relationships, and the best part, I can assist others as they move forward in their own lives.
I cannot thank my college enough for supporting me in this training. Lil O and Mr. U for giving me the thumbs up for taking off every few months for the three-days. And for Sue, my incredible coach. Oh, Sue. I told you over a year ago I wanted your skills - I wanted to be a better listener, communicator, professor, wife, mother, family member, and friend. You said, Go! Go take the CTI classes. You don't have to be a coach to take them.
I am so grateful for you saying GO! I am becoming a better me.
....Oh, and World, I'm coming for you!
