Just Being There

This morning I received an sms from one of my coachees that her best man at her wedding had just been killed in a car accident leaving a 5-month old child and she was too stunned to feel anything.

I decided that I would make myself available over lunch to just be with her as this had come on top of a rough week of work and training. She sms-ed ok to lunch.

This is a celebration because the coach that cares about results and puts aside feelings can also care about feelings when it's appropriate :-). Mastery is about making distinctions.
