Coaching Chronicle by Gerard O’Donovan

Writing this from my hotel in Warsaw in Poland.. Had a good meeting today with Lukasz our general manager in Poland.

 It was cold when I arrived at the airport this morning, -6° and has continually got colder throughout the day

.So I did what any good self-respecting life coach would do, I took myself off to my favourite café in Warsaw,

The Karma café just off Konstitution Square and had a couple of hot mulled wines while I read my latest book.

 Come to think of it my meeting today was spent in a nearby Thai restaurant. Does that mean that most of my business life revolves around restaurants and coffee ?? And if it does is that a bad thing ?

It’s snowing outside now, my first snow of the year, in fact it makes it feel just like Christmas. I’m looking out of my hotel room window down the length of Konstitution Square and it looks really lovely and festive with all the Christmas lights.

Tomorrow I’m doing a large introduction to coaching event here in Warsaw, looking forward to it very much.

Well, I came into the office early this morning, looking forward to a really good productive morning session.  Arrived at 7:30 a.m. only to find there had been a water leak in our building overnight  and my own personal office had its own mini waterfall coming through the ceiling (Lucky me !) Lights blown, carpet soaked, ceiling damaged badly. ( We had the office completely redecorated in January    ) the first couple of hours have been spent in damage control, mopping up water, and organising an insurance claim.

I think I’ll go for a coffee now, on Weymouth seafront, and watch the people walking by and the boats in the harbour.  Work can wait until this afternoon.
