Books enter our lives for many reasons (escape, entertainment, inspiration, knowledge) and impact us in many ways (relaxation, distraction, new ways of seeing, new ways of being). They touch our hearts and expand our minds. They spark our imaginations and give us hope.
They even help us connect with others through understanding different perspectives and prompting conversations with family, friends and colleagues (and book clubs).
BiblioCoach is a place for you to hit the pause button on the busy-ness of the everyday grind and reflect on what’s important to you in your life. It’s a place for you to think, to feel, and to connect with yourself, others, the world and perhaps even the universe. And once you’ve worked out what’s important, you can begin bringing it to life with the support and structure of the Bibliocoaching process.
Bibliocoaching allows you
- To see the world from different perspectives
- Insight into what is possible
- Exploration of an question to make a decision
- Connection with what’s important in your life
- A safe space to explore emotions or beliefs
- Empathy for those who live different lives
- Encouragement to start – and to keep going
- To do the things you say you want to do
The Bibliocoaching process
How does bibliocoaching work?
Bibliocoaching is all about bringing the joy, hope and inspiration we discover in books more fully into our lives.
Using the ideas and inspirations from your chosen book as your starting point, your Bibliocoaching session gives you the space to gain a deeper understanding of the ideas and how they can be a part of your life.
From these insights, we develop a plan for how you could bring these ideas to life – from articulating a vision, exploring possibilities and, most importantly, committing to taking the next steps to bring your new priorities to life.
After you’ve had some time to give your new life a spin, we reconvene so you can reflect on how you went, what you learned and how you will continue moving forward.
You can choose to continue with the one book and develop a deeper understanding and integration of its ideas, or you can draw inspiration from a new book.
I recommend supplementary reading as appropriate but it is up to you whether you include these in your reading and/or our conversation.
It’s your life. You create it at your own pace and with the touchstones that are important to you at each check-in point.
With bibliocoaching, you choose your own adventure using much-loved and newly discovered books as your guide.
