I was re-reading some notes from my coaching studies manuals and came across these thoughtful paragraphs. I was unable to cut n' paste and so began to type them out for myself. During the process I ended up changing some of Roszak's words to suit my bent. I hope that Roszak wouldn't mind and hope that fellow coaches out there find this useful - enjoy!
You and I we meet as strangers Each carrying a mystery within us I cannot say who you are I may never know completely But I trust that you are a person in your own right Possessed of a unique ingenuity. Possessed of value So I make this promise to you I will impose no identities on you, but will invite you to become yourself without shame or fear I will hold open a space for you - a crucible of curiosity and allow you to fill it with an authentic vision and purpose For as long as your search takes, you have my loyalty - my adaptation of Theodore Roszak's Coach's Manifesto
