Being a coach invites us to think differently by giving more importance to the system and the context rather than the content. I realized this last week during my intervention in Mexico. I participated in a group activity in a mythical place near Mexico City, the Hacienda Galindo. I am very grateful to my clients at LSC Communications Mexico, that allowed me to discover these 10 acres of colorful space with its bougainvillea and inspiring history.
It is said; that Hernán Cortés gifted this hacienda to Malinche back in 1524 as a demonstration of his love and gratitude for being by his side during the mission that changed his life and the history of the world.
Converted to Christianity, “Malinche” was baptized with the name of Marina, remaining at the service of Cortés as interpreter, conciliator, and counselor until 1524.
Being a coach allows me to discover magical, historic places rich in symbols. Despite 20 years spent in Mexico, I did not know about this mythical and bewitching place.
Like La Malinche, I felt like a singular “counselor” on July 14 and 15, 2022. My job is not only to translate behaviors but also to reveal system elements, inspire leaders, and carefully interpret their words and languages.
A Group Coaching event transcends the contexts in which we work. It is quite the opposite of the remote video conferences that in no way replaces the spectacle of orange trees and bougainvilleas and imposing trees that in-person training brings us.
Changing context consists of changing space and time during a determined period. We anchor ourselves emotionally in a combination that allows us to live and feel new emotions. The coach creates a fragile bubble necessary to suspend judgments and connect with the present moment.
Our perspectives align, and new experiences emerge. The warmth of our exchanges and the guarantee of emotional security allow us to build a new chapter within the group. Cultures stir and values crackle. The words unite, and the faces relax.
Engage in Team Coaching. Aiming at renewal, inspiration, and the establishment of new ideas to lean on to face the challenges of tomorrow.
Feel free to ask us any information you need about group coaching.
