One week into my ICC coach certification<\/a>, and I'd be lying if I said I knew what I was getting into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought I'd learn a method. Questioning technique, models, a framework to lean coaching conversations against. And I did get that \u2013 we've worked through the course binder up to tab five this week, practiced in groups, coached each other night after night, filled in a LISTA reflection paper every day to capture what stuck. What I didn't expect was how much of the week turned out to be about me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Redan dag ett blev det tydligt att ordet ”coach” betyder olika saker f\u00f6r olika m\u00e4nniskor, och att jag hade en ganska smal bild av vad rollen faktiskt rymmer. Livshjuls\u00f6vningen den f\u00f6rsta dagen \u00f6verraskade mig mer \u00e4n jag ville erk\u00e4nna \u2013 jag har suttit i ledande positioner i \u00f6ver 20 \u00e5r, coachat medarbetare, byggt team<\/a>, men att rita ut mitt eget nul\u00e4ge p\u00e5 pappret var n\u00e5got helt annat. Kunskap \u00e4r inte kompetens, sa en av tr\u00e4narna. Den meningen har f\u00f6ljt mig hela veckan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then came the days of real practice. Turning a vague question into a concrete one. Reframing a solution as a question instead of handing over the answer. Listening for what someone is actually leaning toward, not just what they say. I've always asked a lot of questions \u2013 it's simply how I'm built \u2013 but doing it with this level of precision, while keeping myself out of the answer, is a different sport altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Det som har f\u00f6rv\u00e5nat mig mest \u00e4r hur mycket kursen har tvingat mig att se \u00f6ver mina egna \u00f6vertygelser. Vilka m\u00e5l som faktiskt \u00e4r mina, och vilka jag bara har \u00e4rvt eller programmerat in i mig sj\u00e4lv genom \u00e5r av att ”lyckas”. Jag har byggt mycket av min karri\u00e4r<\/a> p\u00e5 tanken att allt \u00e4r m\u00f6jligt om man bara vill det tillr\u00e4ckligt mycket, och det har tagit mig l\u00e5ngt. Men den h\u00e4r veckan har l\u00e4rt mig att skilja p\u00e5 driv som kommer inifr\u00e5n och driv som kommer av vana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a compass rose tattooed on my arm. It reminds me of a time when I was lost and had to find my way back, mostly on my own. It's the same image I return to every time I mentor through Trygga Barnen, a Swedish organization supporting children in families under strain \u2013 I don't want to hand anyone a ready-made compass; I want to help them find their own. This week reminded me that as a coach, I need to make that exact journey myself, again and again, before I can ask anyone else to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is also the first week, since I lost my best friend in January after an eight-year fight with cancer, that I've genuinely felt I'm living up to the promise I made myself at her bedside: stop waiting, start living. This training is a direct result of that conversation. Sitting here, five days in, feeling a little more grounded each day, feels like proof the decision was right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next week the journey takes a different shape \u2013 I'm heading to Denmark with my new colleagues at SAM International for an introduction at headquarters. Then, in September, the coach training continues: more tabs, more exercises, hopefully more uncomfortable insights. Two journeys starting almost at once, one inward and one outward \u2013 and I have a feeling they're going to get along quite well. Neither one is something you get through. They're journeys you let change you, a little at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When did you last have to separate a goal that was genuinely your own from one you'd simply inherited?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
