Cohort 16 at their Coaching & Self onsite - December 2020

Create Courageously

At the end of each calendar year, we create a process for clients to reflect on the year behind and move forward into the year ahead. The 21 Questions for 2021 can be shared as a resource with your clients or used as inspiration to create a similar end of the year tool for your own coaching practice.

Choose Aliveness

In this skill refresh, Megan reviews the Perspectives coaching tool and why it is an excellent choice for co-creating with your clients as they transition into a New Year.

Discover Purpose

One of our favorite planning tools is the “Year at a Glance” Calendar from Neu Year.
Purchase and use this calendar as a way to intentionally pursue harmonious life rhythms and well-being practices throughout the year by putting it all down on paper.

BONUS: Speaking of calendars, have you tried Calendly, yet? Tired of going back and forth in emails and texts just to set up you a client appointment during an available time? Calendly links your Google Calendar and gives you a customized link to share with clients so that they can go on and schedule for themselves. You can set up email and text reminders, work flows, customized availability and even the amount of time you want between sessions. We’re big fans!

Develop Potential

This month two of our LSCCs were published in the European Journal of Applied Positive Psychology! Let’s celebrate Dr. Erin Davis (LSCC C1) and Dr. Levi Huffman (LSCC C1) for their article Positive Psychology During a Pandemic: REFRAME for Well-Being . It is an excellent tool for understanding how to adapt your coaching process to serve your client’s flourishing during this time.

Lead to Serve

So we’re here, at the end of 2020! Well done. You made it! I have officially declared Rihanna’s “Take a Bow.” As my farewell anthem to 2020. The chorus goes something like this:

But you put on quite a show
Really had me goin'
But now it's time to go
Curtain's finally closin'
That was quite a show
Very entertaining
But it's over now
(But it's over now)
Go on and take a bow, oh

Lark’s Song looks very different than it did at the beginning of this year. We’ve persevered through many challenges and losses, and we are incredibly grateful for how each of you that partnered and co-created with us this year sustained us.

We have plans for a new coaching collective in 2021, new cohorts - including one in Phoenix, AZ, new board members coming on, a Well-Being Certificate and Enneagram Qualification Course to launch, a book club, trauma-recovery programming to develop, LSCC Soul Care | Skill Share retreats, Made Wild wilderness excursions, and a new Story Medicine Gathering to launch.

While we have lost a lot in 2020, I know that after death comes transmutation and after transmutation comes rebirth, we might even be so bold as to say resurrection. My hope for you as you release 2020 is that it creates space for hope to run wild in your heart and that you will bear witness to both the death and the resurrection that that is in and all around you.

Go on and take a bow, my dear!

Affirmation: Hope runs wild within me as I bear witness to death and resurrection in and all around me.
