Coach as Mirror

4 April 2011 from Hwee Suan's journal:

I became clear again as I explained to Karen and Woon why I ‘tolerated’ James’ coaching and way of being with me on occasions when he seems harsh.

I am in training and I don’t tell the coach how he should behave in training me. I am prepared to go through toughness to learn something.

I think James is just being a mirror of how people really feel inside of them but they don’t show it. So if I want to know the effect my actions have on people, he is best person to reflect that.

In this business, I choose who I want to follow and I have chosen, therefore, I will not go and start judging my coach and telling myself how he should behave.
