Underpinning this 7 day or 7 step process is one core idea - that training, and then 'practice' (transfer to practice), of coaching skills, as coaches, being coaches - 'doing' coaching - occurs not only during 'formal' one to one, and group coaching; but ideally - A) is integrated into our way of 'being', 'seeing' and 'living'; and B) we continue to develop personally and professionally - literally each and every day - each day brings us to progressively higher levels of understanding, insight into practice, and deepening our skills. We do this by an individual and collective commitment to 1) call ourselves coaches - I 'am' a coach; 2) being a coach; 3) do coaching; 4) reflect and record; 5) share and build collective experience, locally, then in wider circles and networks of practice and interest, communities of practice and interest CoP and CoI; 6) cumulatively capture, record and build both individual and personal coaching logs and portfolios (quantitative and qualitative), and 7) our collective portfolio of work and metrics of value-added and impact - progressively making this visible and sharing this. Essentially this is similar to what we do in clinical practice. See. Do. Teach. Share. Engage in Training, and Train others. Engage in Scholarship. Locally and then Internationally. Progressively and deepening our skills and expertise. Adding value and having impact. Poh-Sun Goh, 25 March 2022, 0309am, Singapore Time

"As you progress in your personal and professional training and development - focus on 'deep' work, fundamental insights, foundational ideas - like - 'learning science' (how best to learn and teach) - e.g. applied to life-long learning (both for yourself, and others); network theory, and practice - e.g. applied to developing your own personal and professional networks, to augment your value(add) and impact (and as part of this, to 'market-test' and refine your unique, personal contribution and 'voice', what you bring to the conversation, to the collective work, and to the table; technology (not chasing what is 'hot' necessarily, but always focused on 'what' the technology can do, the 'jobs to be done', and focus on sustainable, widely accessible, low-cost or no-cost and free to use, off the shelf tech tools and platforms - again to scale and magnify impact - the impact of crowds augmented by accessible and available tech - for all); 'coaching' - know yourself, know others ... a thousand battles, a thousand victories [ inspired and modified from - “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” ― Sun Tzu, The Art of War]; understand the power of 'media', both broadcast and now social media (magnifying your professional and personal impact) .

"One simple way to look at 'a life journey' - 1) choose a destination, wisely, with deep insight into 'why', meaning, purpose; and then 2) keep taking small steps toward this destination. Every day. and 3) celebrate each step along the way, and embrace each moment." Poh-Sun Goh, 22 March 2022, 0756am, Singapore Time

“We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Through the unknown, remembered gate
When the last of earth left to discover
Is that which was the beginning;
At the source of the longest river
The voice of the hidden waterfall
And the children in the apple-tree
Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea.
—T.S. Eliot, from “Little Gidding,” Four Quartets (Gardners Books; Main edition, April 30, 2001) Originally published 1943.”

The Chambered Nautilus
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES SR.
This is the ship of pearl, which, poets feign,
Sails the unshadowed main,—
The venturous bark that flings
On the sweet summer wind its purpled wings
In gulfs enchanted, where the Siren sings,
And coral reefs lie bare,
Where the cold sea-maids rise to sun their streaming hair.
Its webs of living gauze no more unfurl;
Wrecked is the ship of pearl!
And every chambered cell,
Where its dim dreaming life was wont to dwell,
As the frail tenant shaped his growing shell,
Before thee lies revealed,—
Its irised ceiling rent, its sunless crypt unsealed!
Year after year beheld the silent toil
That spread his lustrous coil;
Still, as the spiral grew,
He left the past year’s dwelling for the new,
Stole with soft step its shining archway through,
Built up its idle door,
Stretched in his last-found home, and knew the old no more.
Thanks for the heavenly message brought by thee,
Child of the wandering sea,
Cast from her lap, forlorn!
From thy dead lips a clearer note is born
Than ever Triton blew from wreathèd horn!
While on mine ear it rings,
Through the deep caves of thought I hear a voice that sings:—
Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul,
As the swift seasons roll!
Leave thy low-vaulted past!
Let each new temple, nobler than the last,
Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast,
Till thou at length art free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell by life’s unresting sea!
