Helping you see the wood for the trees when you’re stuck or don’t know what to do using unconventional tools from my LANDSCAPE coaching & problem solving toolkit. From not knowing to knowing (what to do) - a poem I certainly didn’t know what I didn’t know Even if I did know I didn’t know what to do I knew I was stuck Without options At a dead-end – or headed for it at least That’s the problem with not knowing I got caught up in a never-ending cycle of stuckness An absence of options Every direction I looked simply reinforced the lack of choice I believed I had I was stuck in a reality I neither wanted nor knew how to walk away from A belief in the lack of options is hard to shift More information can often be used to reinforce the correctness of that belief Circling around and around falling further and further into a hole, rut, or up that creek Stuck may not be the word you give to your predicament And yet there’s that absence of knowing what to do keeping you where you no longer wish to be How then can you discover potential solutions Find the answers you crave Explore the options and opportunities Uncover what’s hidden from view, and With new eyes see the situation from different and alternate perspectives The answer for me was the unconventional Not just because I feel at home there Because it is our conventional eyes that are seeing the lack of options Unconventional looking gives permission to act ‘as if’ there’s other ways to view the situation To believe there’s a solution, or even multiple solutions, out there Comfort zones may need expanding New tools embraced too Your logical mind will certainly require quietening and comforted with the promise that you will return after this adventure Creative thinking will become a new friend Resulting in an expanded awareness of self, a connection with your inner wisdom, and a commitment to return Will you join me in the adventure Let me help you to see situations from a different perspective To shift to knowing that you do know what to do To get back on track Confidently taking steps along that previously unknown path Do get in touch if you’re stuck, or don't know what to do, & would like to find out more about using some unconventional coaching tools to help solve problems, expand options & get back on track - whether personally or organisationally.
