Coaching is a powerful tool that can help you get from where you are to where you want to be. 

But you’re still the one doing the work and you have to take care of yourself on the journey. It can be exhausting and scary. How will you support yourself along the way? Mapping out the support you need can be very helpful. 

I’ve provided a template for you to work with:

In the map, you’ll see your primary focus in the middle, and then various areas of your life. First, jot down how those areas are already supporting you, and then note what more might be possible.

What resources do you have? Think about the knowledge and expertise you have in other areas of your life. Who is in your community – friends, family and acquaintances? Who can you talk to – both living and ancestral? What about other areas of your life – your work, your physical environment, your spirituality?

How do those areas support you now, and how might you call upon them for greater support to move you in this area you are working on? 

Keep close and continue to adapt.
