Meetings and Maids

I just ended my Coaching Call with Chinrinee, and I must say, she is an amazing woman who has had an amazing week!

She talked to me about an experience she had while she was facilitating a training for staff. One man shared his story about the difficulty he has had with work. Chinrinee described the meeting circle. Nobody could talk, each person was quiet, and she could feel the energy of the collective wisdom. As a result of that experience, the employee knew he would be able to make the right decision, and where at first he thought his boss was wrong, now was able to consider new and different answers.

And then she got a call from her maid, who was apparently out of control emotionally, and accusing her kids of wrongdoing. Incredibly, Chinrinee was able to suspend any response and judgement, and just collect the information she was receiving, while she was away from her chuildren, and not in any real position to act. Once she got back home, she was able to talk to her children and her maid, and an understanding was reached, and apologies were made by her children.

Gratefully, the Maid resigned, but there were no bad feelings, or any sort of anger between any the parties. It's wonderful to read about so many theories and strategies, but it is a wonderful opportunity for me, when I am able to meet and talk with someone who is able to apply what we are learning, and do it successfully and with grace.
