Diversity versus tolerance

I remember my struggle to find the coaching school perfect for my taste. Asking Steve Mitten, he mentioned that in general the school you follow is the one you recommend and believe is the best. What does it mean? It is like the story with the best car, many times is the one you recently got!

Why is that perception so strong?  For starters we have high expectations and if we feel great during the journey we have the tendency to advocate and speak highly about this. It happened to me with some great schools that I graduated.

But, is it true? Can we be absolutely sure that ,what we have experienced, will fit others?

I believe that we cannot be sure, it is better to let people choose what they really want, and if we are strong believers to manage our convictions.

The whole point came to me yesterday during the ICF Romania first conference when I received feedback about a coaching demonstration. We become attached by our own perceptions and they become our reality. A little tolerance, emphaty and why not risk is more than welcome when you want to leave the comfort zone.

Or in other words, get rid of the ego, chill, life is beautiful!
