Meetings
Conference calls for many are a time to doodle
in between the times to fiddle
in between the mute button and google.
For why do they exist?
Just for someone to boast their merit?
Or manage fear by share-it?
Better have a single purpose, make decisions, or get clarity,
or don’t hold a meeting at all!
Ponder and meaning will emerge
better to think of the join and not the specific.
Ponder and clearing will occur
have you thought what matter’s not?
Ponder and the reason will sparkle
for your experience has brought you to this point.
Ponder and you will change
and cast a new eye on the challenge.
Listening
Listen to the wise and foolish,
listen to the experienced and the novice.
Dwell on, and check your thoughts,
doubts, questions, let them swell.
The listening followed by a pause,
will provide nothing or everything.
Act on what comes up,
discard forever everything else.
Failure comes when ears are closed,
open those canals and get to your goal.
Being a coach
Just because you have tasted success,
it doesn’t mean there isn’t another way.
Just because you can see the pitfalls,
don’t forget the learning from them.
Only advise when you are clear,
that two points of understanding need joining,
otherwise move along.
For the path the way to change,
can only be discovered by the self.
