Why I never wanted to write a blog and why I changed my mind

I never thought about to have one day my own blog. The question came up when I started my own business and discussed with friends and colleagues my new professional web. The sudden question: “Cool, and will you also have a blog?” I answered with a quick NO!! And then I started to think. Why had I replied no so quickly? I did not even exactly know what means to have a blog.

I started to apply a little bit self-coaching: what did I feel when I answered the question so quickly? It was fear. Fear to get out of my zone of comfort. Fear to do something I never did before. Fear to expose myself and my thinking to other people. Behind this fear smiled and waved his hand my own insecurity. Obviously as a certified coach I smiled back and asked myself a typical coaching question: what would be the worst what could happen to you having your own blog and what advantages a blog could have for your business? Once I had overcome my first reaction based on fear and insecurity my brain started to work again. I started to write down (I love lists!) advantages of a blog for me as an independent coach and consultant.

“Here you will find my own reflections, interviews with partners, clients and professionals from my sector as well as recommendations and reflections on books and the arts.”

This blog is first at all an open window in my web. It’s a platform where I can interchange with clients, partners, colleagues and friends about my work as coach, trainer and consultant. It’s also an opportunity to showcase the fantastic work of colleagues and spin my own professional net. In my blog you will find my own reflections, interviews with partners, clients and professionals from my sector as well as recommendations/reflections on books and other arts. This blog is also a monthly challenge for me to be innovative and creative: to sit down each month and focus my attention on an issue I would like to share.

My blog will be in English but you can write in English, French, Spanish, German or Catalan. Hopefully I will get some feedback on my posts, but this is only partly in my hands. From my side I will do my best to make this space interesting and to provoke your thinking and feeling.

Welcome to my blog and hope to meet you again soon
