"Everyone is a visionary," Maria Nemeth tells Michael Toms in this one-hour interview. But bringing that dream or ideal into concrete reality is another matter altogether. Coaching is a phenomenon sweeping the country. Nemeth, who has been a clinical psychologist for 22 years, points out the difference between the two: "In coaching, people observe their psychological process without getting caught up in it, and instead turn their attention toward what they truly want to contribute in life."
In her "Being Coach" programs, Nemeth emphasizes the importance of authentic action that grows out of careful discernment. It is the exact opposite of the driven behavior that characterizes an unfocused and chaotic life. Coaches are like midwives who help individuals give birth to their dreams. They are supportive. For instance, Nemeth talks about a coach who bears witness to a promise made by an individual.
"I am willing" according to Nemeth is the quintessential affirmation that animates us to concrete action. Coaching also is effective in the spiritual realm where individuals want to practice forgiveness or hospitality. The bottom line is that in these hectic times people need all the encouragement they can get in bringing out the best that is in them. Nemeth is the author of The Energy of Money.
