On being a positive influence

by Miles on 11/02/2010

One of the great things that I have discovered about being a coach is that my clients often think of me when they see material on growing and changing.  They think of me and then they send me the material.  I happen to like this a lot. I get to share in little things that make them happy, or that spur them forwards and I get inspired to continue with this amazing work that I have chosen to do.

One such recent contribution was sent to me from a client as we discussed the notion of courage.  He said that the following video exemplifies courage.

I would have to agree. What a great message. I have a lot to say about the “It gets better” campaign. But for now, I’ll leave on the note that I started. I love that the work that I do creates reciprocal relationships that continue to inspire people to do better. Could there be a better influence than that?

A story of a 14 year old sticking up for his teacher came into my inbox after I published this story. I thought it was an appropriate addendum.
