You’re not failing. You’re learning.
You’re not failing. You’re learning. You’re Training. Last year, I started a new adventure: I’m a firefighter. I joined at the end of the year and to start this year, I am enrolled in fire academy. So right now, now through June, I am practicing, studying, testing…basically back in school, learning a lot every single day. I realized that this is really helpful in my coaching practice. This whole experience has been a reminder of the process. The process of starting where you are and taking things one step at a time. On day one, I knew nothing. But I’m starting small, I’m learning something every day. Each repetition, I am taking away at least one thing that I didn’t know coming in. Example: When our station gets a call, I’m able to respond with the crew, so we rush in, gear up and jump on the truck. Since I’m not qualified to do much, that adrenaline rush usually ends up with me checking a smoke detector or cleaning out a dryer vent that started smoking. Super glamour...
