What is coaching all about?

 Why Barefoot?

Others claim to be “barefoot coaches”, meaning easy-going or something. But in my case, I really have intentionally gone without shoes since 2012! Even in the winter…that’s called “coldfooting.”

Coaching didn't make me a "barefooter", but a coaching mindset led me to question something I thought was obvious: "Why am I wearing shoes?" I read an article that described the incredible anatomical complexity of the human foot. That was new awareness for me. Another question: "What about health codes and such?" So I investigated and learned that no state has a health code requiring shoes in restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations, etc. More new awareness...Another question, "What would happen if I stopped wearing shoes?" So I took action. Just for a week I tried it...and I loved it! I was intrigued by the new sensations I felt. It also gave me a sense of simplicity and presence. 

And to me, this is a great example of what coaching is about - thinking outside the box, being simple and present on calls, asking powerful questions that will challenge assumptions and create new awareness, and moving you to action on your discoveries.
