Oprah!
A selfie early in the morning as the conference was kicking off, over 12,000 people attended!
Last month I had the honor of being selected to represent the International Coaching Federation (ICF), the world’s largest professional association of Coaches, of which I am a member, at the Massachusetts Conference for Women in Boston.
Highlights included getting the opportunity to individually coach five accomplished women of dramatically different backgrounds and ages at different points in their careers. This happened at the “Coaches Corner” (pictured) where I would be paired randomly with the next client in line for coaching. We typically had about 20-25 minutes together to get to the heart of the matter and find the path forward. I love this type of focused coaching, often called Laser Coaching. One young woman I was working with said after our session: “I feel like I just had a massage!” —that was a first! I could tell that, by guiding her awareness to her breath and posture in preparation for a difficult conversation she was going to have, together we created new insight into how she could bring that awareness to work for her moving forward. It was quite exciting to witness her ah-ha moment and to be a part of her transformation in such a short amount of time!
I also found myself totally inspired by Oprah Winfrey, who was the keynote speaker…. what a force of nature that woman is!
Yes, it was like having lunch in a stadium, and yet—even with those numbers—the power of Oprah came through!
