My interview was with Heeren, one of our graduates from BeCoach Academy. He was generous to offer us the office of Mindspace , where he works to shoot the video. I told him I want something authentic, I will not give the questions in advance, I will probably also not use the list I have. I am curious about your experience and we will have an authentic conversation. And that is what we did. It was lovely!
I loved watching him think, feel what it meant and then put it into words. There is something magical when you pose a question and observe the other person filling the space with their magic, intellect, beauty. That’s also why I love coaching and that is also why I will enjoy podcasting. I wish I took a photo of us three coming together for the interview.
One strange thing happened while we were leaving the place. A guy was anxiously moving right and left, we asked him what he was looking for, “Toilet” he said. We told him there was one in the space where he just left, Heeren opened back the space and moved to show him where the toilet was located but the guy left already. We saw him turning around the big co-working space. He did not even notice we were there to help him. Or maybe he assumed we wouldn’t – he believed noone would or he wouldn’t so he just went on to do the same tour he did before. We said okay and left. What offers of help or connection are we not accepting because of our beliefs about how things are?
