Even coaches need coaches.
This week I’m in sunny Puerto Rico PR (my first time!) for a 3-day offsite retreat with my business coach, Jessica Fearnley and the other amazing women in her coaching cohorts.
I started working with Jessica last year, as I was at a place where I needed some coaching support if I wanted to grow my business.
Coaches need coaches too, and I needed a coach to help me:
- Articulate and get past my limiting beliefs.
- Help me see where I needed to get out of working in my business so I could work on my business.
- Lean into areas of discomfort that were required for growth.
- Challenge my thinking, and push me to think bigger.
Every leader and business owner needs and deserves a support team that includes a coach to explore these dynamics and ask them tough questions. Jessica has been a key member of Team Cynthia this past year.
As for this week, one of my clients asked me, “What does that even mean, to go on a retreat?”
I said it means:
- Reflecting on the past year–what went well and what got in the way.
- Declaring what I want for this year, financially and energetically … and being encouraged to go bigger.
- Planning what I’ll need to get there.
Whether we call it an “off-site” or a “retreat,” this is work that every leadership team should do every year, guided by a skilled facilitator. (Hey, this is work I love to do with teams!)
So while it might look like just time on the beach, this photo was just a quick moment in between sessions of going deep and getting real.
The last time I did a retreat like this, I came away invigorated and fully re/charged.
The rest of this week will certainly be insightful and expansive. I can’t wait to see what gets generated!
