On Paper

I met with my coach on Wednesday for our opening session. Three hours later I'm not entirely sure where we are. It seems that the first meeting was all about getting my goals and ideas out of my head and onto paper. Maybe I was expecting a little more magic, or instruction. I don't know.

The goals we set out are reasonable, actionable and at the same time terrifying. I feel comfortable with my coach, and although I know and feel like I can ask her anything, there's also this creeping feeling that she doesn't know how much help I need.

In reality she does, it's just that my inner critic doesn't want to tell me that I can do this. Have I sunk so low that I don't believe I can do this anymore? Remember when I believed I could do anything? Does the 'real world' break everyone this way?

But what I ought to be doing right now is filling out my "Target Client" worksheets. They will be hard. Harder without any personal existing clients. But let's get it on paper, and then let's get going.
