‘That Woman Changed My Life’
I’m in my favourite cafe ordering my favourite soup. 🥣
Tapping my card, the super friendly owner taps my arm.
‘That guy didn’t want to sit beside you yesterday…
… then he came up after and said:
‘That woman changed my life!’
🤣😂🤣
(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ It’s the day before… ♥
This place is really busy.
Grabbing a stool at the last empty table I notice a coat flung over the other chair.
Shortly a tall, blonde man towers over me. 🚶
‘I’ve booked that table already.’
It’s not really that kind of place ☹️
‘Are there two of you?’
No, just me,’ says he.
‘Well, would you mind terribly if I sat here just to eat my soup?’
He’s definitely not keen.
‘You don’t have to talk to me or anything,’ I add.
‘I have a book.’ Pulling out The Brothers Karamazov he sits down. 📙
‘Are you on your lunch break?’ I ask.
‘Yes.’
‘How long do you get?’
‘An hour.’
‘That’s pretty good.’ I say.
‘Yes, but I don’t get paid for it.’
‘Where do you work?’
‘In a pharmacy in town.
‘What about you?’ He asks.
‘I’m an architect.’
‘Are you REALLY an architect?
‘I REALLY am…
…. and a transformational leader and coach.’
‘I’m into leadership myself’ says he… ‘I do a bit of coaching.’
Interesting.
‘Where do you see yourself in 10 years?’
He says he would like to teach and guide young people towards wholeness.
We reword his goal into the kind of language that really creates the future he has in mind - language that helps bring it into being.
I invite him to say it out loud back to me.’
He duly obliges.
Then I invite him to speak his newly created sentence - out loud - to someone else every day… and then see what happens.
His book is unopened. He hasn’t started his salad.
‘It wasn’t so bad talking to me after all, was it?’
He looks at me.
‘I do this all the time,’ I say. ‘Try it, you never know who you’ll meet.’
‘You’re not twenty by any chance, are you?’ He says.
‘Fraid not.
‘What age are you?’ I ask.
‘Twenty three.’ !!!!!!
Made my day 😊
Made his future! 🌍
