It makes you think about how a lot of the motivational speakers or life coaches are seen as 'gurus' and people hang onto their every word as gospel. I believe in the concept of co-coaching where people provide support to each other as life coaches would but are on equal power and in a mutually beneficial relationships.
The answers are ultimately within ourselves and looking external for anything besides inspiration is just giving away our own power.
Makes perfect sense to me :)
I like the term co-coaching. I usually think of collaboration or co-creation, but that works too. :)
Well, it is not exactly typical of collaboration since you are working to help the other person with their own goals rather than working together on a common goal, and it is not specifically for the purpose of creating something (it could be just to get healthier). I think it combines the benefit of having some accountability plus the feel good factor of helping someone.
If you are interested, here's the short post I wrote about it a while back: https://steemit.com/life/@plushzilla/you-don-t-need-a-life-coach-but-you-should-try-to-co-coach-in-life
I'll give it a read.
