A small Step Can Make a big difference…

In my original coach training, one cornerstone was to Evoke Transformation.

This is absolutely core to what coaching is and yet, I intuitively felt that Big Transformation, while certainly welcome when it happens, is not how transformative change manifests for many people. For many people, Big Change is Scary.

And, almost everyone is willing to take a small step toward a new direction. And having done so, then to take another step. And then another…

At the start, these small steps are very close to the familiar path, the path of “This is the Way It’s Always Been.” They’re low risk, low investment of time/money/ego. after taking a long series of tiny steps, we look up and notice, we’re in entirely New Territory. And it feels good and larger steps seem, well, easier. Because we’ve identified the New Path.

What small step would move you toward that goal/dream/life you’re stuck on?

It’s only one step, try it and see how it feels. What might the step after that be?
