The best coaching happens when we let our intuition guide us. And sometimes our intuition will guide us into rooms we don’t necessarily know how to enter or exit. We’ll find ourselves in the in-between space, in the hallway, and we’ll come up against our own uncertainty. This doesn’t mean our intuition tricked or misled us. It simply means that we make space for the unfamiliar. We meet the moment with embodied inquiry and awareness. We pause, allow silence to stretch us. And we give the other permission to take their time. We have extended an invitation and it may take some reorientation before the next insight or shift occurs. There is no rush. Learning to drop expectation means that we engage in a dance with vulnerability, and we give the sacred other permission to do the same.
