Panoptic Living - Enneagram Coach

12/06/2021

One month ago I asked you, if you imagine yourself at the end of your life, what are you most proud of achieving? What made your life a great one?

Reflection - what is getting in the way of moving towards this?

What answers did you find? What do you need to say no to to say yes to that future? 2022 is a new year - not for resolutions, but for soul quickening shifts in thinking, believing, and moving!

"You can control three things with God’s help: your thoughts, feelings, and actions. You cannot control the thoughts, feelings, and actions of others” Dr. Richard Dobbins.

Don’t give others control, don't let them or the circumstances take away your peace, clarity, and emotional sanity. You cannot control others, you cannot control circumstances, and you cannot control others' interpretations.

You can only control you and when the inner critic starts or the anxiousness of circumstances overwhelms you, seek God's help, ask for clarity, and to increase your intentional focus; you are in control of you!

Build your life on His Word. For the Bible says, “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12, NIV).

Live panoptically and embrace each day!

Life is a journey, not a destination. We make the best possible choices and decisions we can each day with the information at hand. With a journey comes action and action leads to opportunity and opportunity leads to growth, learning and who knows what else! Don’t be afraid to make that choice, that decision that you have been dreading or ignoring. Chase that dream, focus on that goal and have faith. Embrace who you are and what you bring to the table and have faith in yourself to move forward … and … move!

Can you imagine living in a way where you are present and comprehending and integrating all of your experiences? Or 'all-seeing'?

Wow, I promise this won’t be an every 2 year thing! So much has happened since my last post. As many of you know, I left Cornell and moved back to VA to assume an associate dean role. I have continued in my coaching hours and am in the process of my doctorate in educational leadership and innovation with a completion date of spring 2023. Through my doctorate work, I am refining how I want to approach my coaching and leadership. I have developed an approach to life called Panoptic Living. If you look up panoptic, it is seeing and integrating a comprehensive view or lens – like a panoramic picture or the view from 10,000 feet. It is derived from Greek panoptēs, meaning "all-seeing". Imagine living life this way! This is my approach to coaching and leadership.

I have recently completed my required hours for coaching and I can now sit for the certification exam through the International Coaching Federation. I will keep you updated on when I complete that – it will take a couple of months for my qualifications to be reviewed and exam scheduled.

More soon … in the meantime, imagine panoptic living

Apologies for the kong delay in posting here. Update: I have been busy learning, reflecting, growing, and practicing. Many doors have been opened to me on this new path ~ including attending Presence Based Coaching Training, Integrative 9 Enneagram Coaching training, and Advanced Leadership Course from Leadership Coaching in Rochester. So many opportunities and so much learning ~ I am truly blessed.

As I have started on my journey for formal certification through ICF (International Coaching Federation) I am blessed and humbled to say that several wonderful and amazing people I work with day to day have volunteered to work with me as I hone my art of coaching. It has been an amazing 6 weeks of practice, application and understanding my way, my art.

During this time I have also been blessed with meeting several people within the profession that are willing to share, to uplift, to encourage me on my journey that I believe God has put me on.

The amazing thing is that I believe all of this training has also helped me be a better leader, has allowed me a way to meet people where they are and to listen, ask questions and coach in a way I was never able to before.

I am also starting a new journey to help solidify this new path. I am starting a doctorate program through Regent University, a Christian university. This is a Doctorate of Strategic Leadership with a concentration in coaching. It will be at least a 4 year journey.

All of this will help me be a better me, first and foremost ~ what God has intended for me. Secondly, it will allow me to serve my passion, my mission field ~ people and meeting them where they are at. I hope to take on regular clients in the coming 6 to 9 months and start slowly to build a personal development practice centered on coaching.

I so appreciate your prayers, support, love, compassion, encouragement, and accountability. This journey promises to be wrought with joy, fear, opportunity, challenges, deepening and widening and expanding my passion and mission. Much love and gratitude ... Beth . 💕💕
