spiritual business coaching

I’m thinking of starting a new venture – something like “spiritual business coaching”. It’s still working itself out in my head. I have always had the thought that maybe I would someday be helping people one on one in some capacity, but I have never been clear on what it was I would be doing specifically. The ideas I have and the way I approach business — they are hard to put into words sometimes. Sometimes I almost have to be asked a question to have an answer.

I was talking with a business colleague I recently met, and I mentioned spirituality briefly and the way I think of business decisions and how I make them, and I thought well, it is Portland but still he’s probably going to think I’m out there. But he didn’t, he was thoughtful about it. We talked about spiritual alignment, making decisions in alignment with your values, and the energetics of working with people who are either in alignment with your purpose or not, and how the latter saps your energy and the former creates more energy.

Of course it’s not just the people, it’s the way you interact with them and them with you, people aren’t static. But anyway…it got me thinking that yeah, even suit and tie people, some of them, are interested and open to this. More people are than I would think – they just don’t necessarily put it out there. But I want to put it out there, and get people talking about it. I want to help transform the conversation around business.

So actually it’s not just that I want to help people directly, I want to also promote the idea, that business can be done differently, to meet deeper goals.
It feels like all of this is coalescing, but really slowly, I can see only the dim outlines of it still. Sometimes life is like that.
