In March I started once-a-week co-coaching with a fellow member of the networking site Ecademy, The system is we have a telephone call once a week for an hour, with half an hour each to focus on whatever are coaching issues for us in the coming week. I call it co-coaching, but neither of us stick to a strictly coaching framework.
The whole thing started because I asked if anyone was interested in trying it out. As of today, since starting the co-coaching I've
- finally managed to get my first website up >>>>>>
- become much clearer about my direction now and next
- held my nerve while working/earning less but preparing more for future activities
- decided the book I want to write - kick off meeting with Mindy Gibbins-Klein is next month.
- lost 9 kg, equivalent to 10% of my body weight - just 3-4 kg to go
- been networking more actively
- got the idea of working towards a research-based PhD and taken steps to make it happen
It may be that a lot of this is a matter of "the ripeness is all" which I call "catching the wave". However, I can say with confidence that the co-coaching has been an important part of the changes (thank you Mark - you know who you are!). And I can say with confidence that Ecademy has been an extremely important factor in my personal evolution and in helping me identify a great co-coach - so thank you Ecademy (you know who you are).
