The Direction of Intention

Join me in inspiring truly powerful people. Each day I will add a new thought, story or idea to support your quest and mine.

Sam and I talked often during the months that he prepared for his interactive workshop. He was both nervous and excited; this presentation represented a risk, a step into his desire. It was a conscious choice to step toward vulnerability and the unknown. He was presenting to a conference of life and business coaches. He wanted to introduce to them the notion that coaches need mentors; mastery is an ongoing ever-growing process and that requires wise-eyes. Sam is a master coach and walks his talk. He is always learning, always growing, always seeking wise-eyes and asking, “What do you see?”.

His workshop was very successful and as he described to me his experiences in presenting, I could see that he’d had a significant revelation that day.

“What did you learn?” I asked.

He was quiet for a moment and then said, “It was very humbling. I think I learned to stand in what I know and make an offer without needing an outcome or expecting a response. I didn’t offer any answers or pretend that there are 5 bullet points to achieve artistry or something like that; I asked questions. I asked big questions.” And then he said, “I was powerful in a way that I have never been before, not power over the group but powerful with the group. We all became more powerful. I was present.”

Step toward the unknown. Stand in what you know and make your offer. Seek better questions. Let go of outcome and focus on process. That’s a recipe for power-with and a step toward mastery.
