My Sister Colleen.

She's always believed in me, all her life, she's always engaged and challenged me mentally and spiritually and we have shared our amazing passage of our lives together, even though we now are in separate countries.

She is a master coach trainer, who specialises in intuitive coaching - she is amazing!

She is currently running an amazing tea house in Balmain, Sydney called "Beyond the Ordinary!"

I have her to thank for me getting into coaching. She was a coach trainer for a coaching training company about five years ago - she called me up and told me that I'd be a great coach and that she had enrolled me in the course and had paid for it too - she's amazingly generous too!

And that was the start. I had to un-learn everything I did and knew as a trainer and learn to listen rather than tell or inspire. She was my younger sister and yet she could do amazing things while I was struggling with the basics!

And she coached me too. And then she mentored my first coaching with clients and gave me straight and valuable feedback and encouragement.

I am so grateful for her.

The other day I called her up, feeling morose after having been through three funerals.

She answered brightly and said: "How are you Mike - you sound a bit heavy!"

I said how I was feeling a bit down with all the funerals and she said straight back to me: "You always do this around funerals Mike - you always think about our brother's funeral and you just wallow around in it!"

I asked her: "Do you think I'm being Morose?"

"Damn right you are Mike - this is just what you do! - Okay - right now, I'm going off to have some fun - See ya!"

- "Click!"

She hung up.

But I had admitted that I was being Morose. She had sown a seed!

As soon as she got off the phone - I started to have fun!

She's a great coach - she got me to acknowledge where I was at and immediatly I got off it!

What a great technique!

She's an amazing coach!

I love my sis!
