I was merely searching the web using two words "coaching" and "Asia". When I found the program, my first instinct was to sign up. However, being a careful prudent person ( I can't sign up for every course I find after all) I decided that I would send an email asking for more information on the course itself, especially since it was held in HK and details will need it be worked out.
As a pre-requisite, participants needed to have read Ginger's Lapid-Bogda's book on enneagram coaching, and at that time, I certainly have never read anything on the enneagram.
I do know my ennea type, thanks to my mentor, but my knowledge of the enneagram can only be described as superficial at best. So I spent 2 days going into every bookshop I can find, but nope, no book.
So I took the natural (at least it was natural for me) next step which was to throw the challenge to the universe. If it was right for me to attend the course in HK, the book will turn up.
The next day, I shared the course details with my mentor, just for another opinion, and lo and behold, he not only has the book I need to read, but two others that would be good to read.
What's a girl to do? I sent a warm thank you to the universe, and signed up for the course.
The course changed my understanding of human relationships, and the drivers of behavior. Just as many teachers have appeared in my life, Ginger was an amazing teacher. Always challenging paradigms, but with great humour and a gentle type two love for humanity.
I am again reminded that when the student is ready, the teacher will appear.
There are many moments of insight and discovery during the course, but that is a story for another day. Key take aways, cherished moments are moments of exploring different coaching methodologies, centering exercises: Colour washing, NLP basics, projection, reframing, energy and voice and my all time favorite, the use of metaphors.
The journey continues, and the path becomes clear.
