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.

Got up at 3 AM this morning in order to get a taxi to the airport and fly back to Luton.

Arrived back at the office at 12 noon. This has been my longest extended trip without a break for quite some time, (13 days) and it really is nice to be able to see everyone in the team again. ( even though I don’t suppose they really missed me)

Last night I attended the Coaching Support Group in Warsaw. I have to say it was the best run group I have yet seen. Adam, is doing a magnificent job. It was run like a military operation. In fact he had to turn people away, over 40 people wanted to come and there was only room for 35.

He is demonstrating real organisational skills and great leadership.

I did a presentation on Shamanic Coaching and the power of energy when working closely with the client.

I also took the opportunity of letting everyone know that they can now have a free membership of Big Lif3e (www.biglife.ws)

And the fact that we will be launching Colour Coaching early in the New Year.that went down really well.

Well, here I am sitting in my hotel room in Warsaw slaving over a hot laptop dealing with my never ending stream of e-mails.

I went for a Thai massage last night in a place called the Thai house just around the corner from the MDM hotel ( where I am staying) it really was a great massage and very well priced 120 zlotys equal to about £25 

Today I had a really great experience, went out for a walk and a coffee this morning and found about five fantastic bookshops one after another. I couldn’t resist buying some more books. ( my wife will kill me) my suitcase is already verging on my airline limit !!

I will have to do some fast talking at the check-in J

 Looking forward to attending the Warsaw coaching support group meeting tonight.

I am going to do a presentation on Shamanic Coaching.

I am also going to give everyone a special gift. FREE membership of big life www.biglife.ws

I think that could really help them.

Then it’s up at 3 AM for a 6 AM flight ( deep joy!!)

Should be back in the office by 12 noon.
