When you think about greenspace, what comes to mind? Perhaps nature, a vast open landscape with beautiful trees and endless green fields that seem to go on forever. Maybe a quiet and relaxing place where you can clear your head and unplug. A safe place to calm and reset your central nervous system. This is exactly what comes to mind for me, being outside in a green field, surrounded by trees and feeling the warmth of the sunshine. Away from the hustle and bustle of the day to day, taking time to think, reflect and prioritize oneself in order to recharge and be your best self for you and for others in your life.

It's easy to get caught up in the day to day on autopilot and to just keep doing. As an ancient Greek Philosopher once said “be like a river, keep moving”. While I support that sentiment and rivers have some attractive qualities such as flexibility and agility, rivers lack intentionality. We need to be intentional with our behaviors and actions in order to set the right direction and goals to create the personal and professional life we want.

This is what coaching is all about – taking a look at where you are and where you want to be, and intentionally working on closing that gap.
