If you’d have told me — nearly two years ago to the day when I received my shiny new coaching diploma — that I would be telling clients, friends and community that what they needed was more play, I would’ve laughed out loud. Emphasis on loud.
Because not only was my own post-diploma business built on the pure and somewhat rigid conviction that there was a (read: my) perfect process to self-optimisation, but there is a whole echo chamber within the self-development industry dependent on you believing that too. In this world you are always ‘just one more session’ or ‘only a 12-month full-time personal development programme’ away from reaching that best version of yourself.
