A new kind of reflective practice:

Now you can do it in your sleep

Michelle Lucas’ new book

Are you down in the depths of the forest?

Or are you soaring at altitude?

Your clients are calling on your ability to zoom out, to see the bigger picture. And guide them to a clearing in the forest (and beyond).

It’s like they’re surrounded by dense trees, unable to take the next step. And they’re relying on you to create space for them.

And yet today you feel a haziness, obscuring your view of the path ahead.

You’ve got this niggling suspicion that somewhere you’re harbouring a reaction to a client’s issue from this morning.

Tangled thoughts

Of course, you already know that “how we are will impact how we coach” — these arising feelings are hindering your inquisitive mind. 

But you can’t put words to what’s standing between you and your birds-eye-view of the situation. 

You can’t put your finger on why you’re experiencing this. But you can feel it hardening in your chest. 

What if there was a way for you to go into coaching sessions with clearer objectivity?

Coax out a new perspective

Imagine what it would feel like when your clients are reaching more moments of realisation — moments you’ve facilitated.

What if you could tune into a deep wisdom — one that doesn’t knock you over with ‘aha!’ moments. But softly and confidently guides you in your coaching journey?

You can fly high above the trees, once more. Using your hawk-eye vision to guide your clients through the dense forest. As you continue to deliver perspective-shifting sessions for them.

This is a new way to reflect that doesn’t start with pen and paper. 

But with your pillow.

INTRODUCING THE

‘15-MINUTE SLUMBER’

An alternative reflective practice for coaches and coaching supervisors — a guiding light for you to gather new insights.

Rest, reflect & resource

Step away from these muddled feelings. 

Turn inwards. Find new space to cut through the noise. 

Feel a heightened level of support between your formal supervision sessions. 

Only you know the cultural fabric of your business, your relationships, your personal strengths and challenges. So who better to ask the questions? And provide the insights in response?

  • All you need is quiet space and a pillow

  • You’ll experience a guided session, with simple instructions

  • Independently explore any obstacles that reveal themselves

  • This audio recording is your permission slip to slow down, rest and reflect — you only need 15 minutes

  • You’ll wake up with a clearer view ahead, once again lifted to a birds-eye view to see past lingering roadblocks

Whether you’ve got an unexpected half hour free over Thursday lunchtime to tune into you. Or a Sunday evening slot when you’re gearing up for the week ahead. You can gently integrate this into your weekly reflective practice. 

Now, challenges have started to make you feel excited again — not reluctant. 

You know you’ll be all the more resourceful in your next session. And more impactful with your next coaching client.

‘You can’t see your reflection in running water’ 

[Taoist Proverb]

I once subscribed to the age-old ‘hustle culture’, working as a coach for senior leaders in large organisations. 

Being around high-achievers everyday, I got drawn into the chaotic merry-go-round of business. Needing to always be doing more, delivering more, achieving more.

I conflated professional success with self-worth.

So I had to remind myself to slow down, now and then, to reflect on my experiences, my relationships with clients and the world around me. But I always found it a challenge conforming to ‘traditional’ ways to reflect on my own coaching and supervision practice.

I was always able to see a clearer reflection of myself and feel deeper into my clients’ challenges when I was doing something creative — Even when completing my Master Coaching Accreditation for the EMCC, I requested that my reflections could be submitted in pictures and drawings.

Bringing you an integrative approach to reflection

Waking
up to awareness

(by going to sleep)

The creativity I found in practicing yoga was the pivotal moment. 

Awakening to the physiological benefits of conscious breathing during a yoga class, I began to experiment with self-enquiry when I stepped onto my mat. I started to explore my own feelings that would usually be held within the formal, static realms of coaching and supervision.

As I started teaching more restorative styles of yoga, I was able to find more objectivity in my self-enquiry. The kind of yoga you do with your eyes closed. 

Whilst being still and focusing on my breath, I became more aware of my own thoughts and feelings, but also more objective of my clients’. 

And so I wanted to share these perspective-shifting techniques with you, kind people. Shining a light on your reflective practice, intertwined with the elements of yoga where we don’t move a muscle.

Thus Daring To Be was born. A space for you to hit the pause button. To help you get a clearer picture of your coaching blind spots. And move forwards with new wisdom.

A clearing in the forest

Space and perspective. Your two new best friends. 

It might feel difficult to be so objective when you’re sitting in a space that lacks clarity. When the forest feels tangled. And you don’t have the techniques to forge a clear path ahead. 

But now you can call on your two new best friends in times of haziness — when the expectations of your clients are feeling beyond you. 

By resisting the urge to strive forwards, you can find more clarity in slowing down. And stillness. 

And so a path opens up ahead of you. 

To be a better listener. And to enable bigger breakthroughs for your coachees.
