Your favorite chair

How's that chair you're sitting in?
Chairs by inkdrop.
This week I've been thinking about sitting. Mostly in chairs. Here are three things on that theme to help turn overthinking into expert thinking:
For the first three years of this decade / the pandemic / building my business, I did it all from a cheap £8 IKEA chair. Let's just say, it wasn't ideal.
Recently, I majorly upgraded to the Pipersong cross-legged chair and I couldn't be happier. I'm short, hypermobile, and perpetually restless, so this is the chair for me. Plus, sometimes Terry the Pug joins me on the footrest.
It's hard to see what's going on with a chair you're sitting in. All your weight is bearing down on the issue and you don't have an objective vantage point.
I could look across the room and say, “I see that chair you're in. It looks like it needs better support at the front.” But that's not my job as a coach. My job is to help you see for yourself what needs doing.
I help you lift the burden and gain new perspective. I support and guide your thinking, so that you can see what's really going on with your situation. You decide what you want to do about it, and I am there to advance your thinking even further.
(Sometimes, you need more than a coach. In that case, get a Sense Check)
