A short excerpt from a YouTube video by Coach Ambereen (May 25, 2024) in which she reflects on responding to setbacks by praying for the ability to learn lessons, taking ownership of actions that caused harm, apologizing, and using those experiences to grow—framing growth as central to coaching.
Will it happen again? I'm sure. But I really make a lot of genuine prayer to ask God and say, hey, you know what, God? Allow me to learn the lessons. Allow me to learn what I'm supposed to from this challenge so that I can grow, that I can better serve, so I can be more aligned with you and your will. And that really gives me the power and the courage to start to demonstrate through my actions that I'm actually not learning my lessons, but showing you that I'm genuinely apologetic for what happens when you take ownership of the behavior that resulted in the problem and the challenge that you put your family or your loved ones through, you'll actually start to grow. And growth is such a key element when we're talking about coaching.
