The Magic Bus

I was asked to blog this story by a friend.

A few months ago, after quitting my job in medical sales and embarking on my Life Coaching career, I started driving for Uber to help with finances.  I also thought this would be a great way to practice some coaching techniques, give out my business cards, and basically network and market my skills.

One day, I picked up a gentleman at an extended-stay hotel with an incredibly heavy pelican case (this is very familiar to those of us in medical sales) and a suitcase that was just as heavy.  We had a bit of a drive ahead of us, so I decided to try and “coach” him.  He wasn’t very talkative at first, but I continued to ask him some questions.  He was a really interesting guy!  He was from California, trying to make it on his own as a distributor for some medical products, and had taken on the responsibility of providing for his family during their tough times.  He got them all “on their feet” so to say, and was experiencing a type of empty nest syndrome.  We continued to chat about his family and his next steps in business.  We discussed what it meant to be an introvert who had learned how to be an extrovert, living our truth, and what it would take for him to make his dreams a reality.  His energy levels soared throughout the drive.

When it came time for me to drop him off, I went back to help him with those heavy cases.  He looked at me and said, “Lady, I don’t know what happened in that magic bus, but I feel so much better!”  He asked me what I did for a living and I told him I was a Life Coach.  He said, “I knew it!!! I just knew it!!!”

Every time I relay this story, it makes me laugh!  I laugh because this gentleman entered the “magic bus” with low energy levels and left with very high energy levels, with newfound freedoms for success, and a purpose.  It reaffirmed in me that as a Life Coach, I’m also living out my life purpose.  It ignited a dream within me, to be a mobile coach.  I may blog more about my mobile coaching at a later date.  In the meantime, you may want to look for the “magic bus” coming to a mind, body, and spirit conference in a city near you VERY soon!

Peace to your hearts today and always, my friends!  🙂
