89: Shelly Heath-Watson

"There's that part of us that is here to be safe and to stay alive. And yet that's not what life is. The purpose of our bodies is to stay alive. The purpose of us being here is to experience everything we possibly can, and then go back for more." — Ben Dooley

"The thread running through it is love. It is love, really — the connection between people, or presence, as I'm now thinking of it in coaching terms." — Mary Anna Wright

"Maybe a more courageous version of themselves, maybe stepping into—instead of 'Tell me what to do!'—seeing possibilities for themselves which they haven't saw before, being a calmer version of themselves, more mature . . ." — Zsofia Juhasz

"There's the external visible game of power and money and wealth, and and there's an internal game where people don't see the changes." — Boris Prigmore

"We cannot become ourselves until somebody has seen and heard us the way we truly are." — Norbert Izsák

"The first Picasso Toro looked almost like a photograph, incredible. The last Picasso Toro was like five lines on a page. Is one better than the other? No. Is the one with the fine lines probably more emotionally grasping? Probably. I like to compare that with how coaching can evolve — less ends up being more." — Ellen Kocher

"I spent the first part of my life trying to find the truth. And now I realize I know my truth and I accept that my truth is not everyone's truth. And I am curious about what their truth is." — Carrie Williams

"Coaching is the gift that keeps on giving. The more you give away, the more you have." — Shelly Heath-Watson

"Listening is giving, because it's giving your time, giving your presence, your full presence… a way of telling someone: I'm here, I'm here for you with all of myself—my body, my brain, my heart, my guts." — Anna Gallotti

"Model the conversations we want to see. Model the people we want to be. We're not perfect, but those are the ripples that are sent out. If I can be a part of that in a positive sense in this world, Wow!" — Amy Warshawsky
