The Coaching Partnership: Avatar

Monday, March 15th, 2010

There are many interesting links between professional coaching and the blockbuster movie Avatar.  I noticed the "hair meld" that the characters practiced to "become one" with others.  

As a professional coach, there is a type of "hair meld" created that connects the coach with the client's mind/body to discover the insights and solutions that will be most powerful for the client. 

For coaches, the visual of the "hair meld" that is practiced throughout the movie is a strong reminder of the power of that connection to achieve true understanding and exceptional results for clients.

When the client is ready the connection is established.  As client and coach establish that special connection it can feel for some as if they are taking off, as in this Avatar clip, on an adventure that can feel exhilarating, freeing, powerful and sometimes frightening but, together, they explore and discover things they were not able to alone.
