Why I learnt Coaching Supervision (Beginning of the unknown)— Part 1

I believe that there is no coincidence in life. My Coaching Supervision journey started from one casual conversation.

In 2018, after receiving the Master Certified Coach Credential (MCC) accredited by ICF, I had a chance to meet Satoko. She recommended me to learn Coaching Supervision. When I received an offer from CSA, I was so excited. I feel I have to jump into the ocean even though I have no idea about it. Another reason is about Lynne De Lay. A very humble and committed personality which I admired.

When I attended the first module in Seattle in 2019, I picked a walking lion picture. I said “He was walking a long journey without a companion; people didn’t know what he was doing, but he was exploring with confidence and hunting opportunistically for prey. At other times, he would just enjoy walking along on his way. The picture is not a colorful picture.

It was the same as my current situation. No one knows what I am doing. Not many people know what coaching is about, but many friends asked me to go back to work and caught my dream when I retired. I wanted to explore the world, yet I was curious the future. I actually wanted to know my potential, but I didn’t care about others’ comments. I wanted to have more leeway and new opportunities. I wanted to be like that lion and have confidence, as well as being certain of the future. I also wanted to go beyond my ability. Definitely, I wanted to find more companions with colorful background walking with me, where it would be a happier experience and more collaborative activity that would support each other.
