This was the observation of my young granddaughter.
She was talking about my garden but the statement is equally true of my coaching and spiritual direction work.
In coaching I’m working with the coachee to dream big, face reality, make plans and set goals to achieve their heart’s desire.
In spiritual direction I’m listening hard, asking questions and making observations with the objective of journeying with the directee as they discern how God is moving in their life and going deeper into the relationship and their calling.
The difference, I guess, is that coaching tends to be objective-focussed and spiritual direction is relationship-focussed.
If you’d like to know more about either – let me know; I’d love a conversation.
