Tillitonse - A Transformational Journey Together

I USED TO SCOFF.... Like most of us in India, the only time I heard chanting was on religious occasions, mainly in temples. The 'mumbo jumbo' simply did not make sense. In my logical, western oriented family, we even scoffed and looked down on many who did. But in a quiet corner, my mother would silently go about her daily rituals that included simple chanting..... Over the last few years, I found myself increasingly drawn to the power of chanting. So much so that 3 'mantras' have become a morning ritual. It is simply the vibrations that sing to my soul in a way that is hard to logically describe. And now, science, the recent kid on the block is catching up. The data is showing the benefits of chanting through science based empirical research. Oh damn, I can't continue scoffing any more!!!

However, I walked away feeling that there was not a good match between Sam's needs and my offerings. In some ways, I was not even sure if coaching was even needed at this point. However, this was the first time this VP had approached me and I was slightly concerned that I was a) letting the VP down, and b) there was a part of me that did not want to turn this business opportunity away. After some thought, I decided that being authentic was the best option. So, I sent the VP an honest email including my decision. He requested for a chat. We spoke. He went on to appreciate my honesty and we worked on how best we would discuss this issue with Sam. I thought the conversation was ending, when he said "Do you have a few more minutes?"...
