Grab Life By the Handlebars

Grab life by the handlebars!

Confession time...

I've always kind of lived small. Not taking a lot of chances. Just doing what I needed to do, but not necessarily reaching for dreams. Honestly, I spent much of my life living in fear of failure.

I've not ever really been a "grab life by the handlebars" person.

Not until recently anyway.

Earlier this year I didn't just step out of living small - I JUMPED out of it to grab life by the handlebars and enter a coach training program.

And now here I am many months later...program done.

Newly minted and certified Professional Coach!

Go, Me!

But here's the thing...

Now that I'm on my own—without the framework of weekly training classes, homework, and the big exam to study for—I can feel the pull to slip back into playing it small.

Why?

Because I’m not someone who leaps without thinking. I’m thoughtful. I take time to reflect, to mull things over before I act.

But here's the other thing...

While I don’t want to live small again, I’m actually okay with slowing down. I want to take my time, find my footing, and see how I evolve in this new role.

To become the kind of coach I aspire to be—both for you, and for myself.

To show up, trust the process, and step into my full potential.

It's exciting - and not a little unnerving -  but I'm ready!

How about you?

Are you living small? Are you holding back, not taking chances?
