The context here is two-fold…yesterday’s client had a fair amount of initial skepticism about hiring because she never heard of me, i don’t have any speaker videos, and i’m expensive.
Simultaneously, i’m negotiating with a CEO for “Executive Coaching 201” level opportunity.
More on this in a moment.
Both opportunities are nearly identical – expensive and no executive video testimonials that my 201, higher level executive coaching is worth the price – however, this CEO has not only heard of me, but she renewed her yearly executive coaching contract without hesitation.
The obstacle in front of us is proving solitude is a tangible, powerful, and game-changing CEO tactic.
She said, “You hit it out of the Park.”
i replied humbly, “Wow.”
She continued, “We need to schedule you for next year.”

This is for the leaders (including me) who were too busy to notice.
Knowing that my self-imposed deadline for death living is exactly three years from June 8, i will have to balance patience with a termination point.
No easy task.
Living with a deadline creates a profoundly deep sense of self-reflection.
This illuminates the perceived need for cathartic behaviors. Otherwise we are faced with the reality of living dying with regret.
There is no manual for the exact way to proceed.
(And because there is no guide, this is why society, in general, waits and does nothing with their big, bold, humble dreams.)
So i may say and do some things that with more time, might not feel necessary (like this post). But i don’t have the luxury of waiting to find out.

The executive coach is only charging me one dollar per session. He’s pursing an advanced, executive coaching certification. One requirement is to have five paying clients.
We already have an incredibly trusting relationship because we’ve worked together at Disney Institute. We are both out on our own now.
i’m receiving this coaching with the sole motive being to help him.
But we all know that in the giving we receive.
Yesterday’s first session allowed something i was hanging onto to melt away. Just in time for the call with Anitra.
