Lessons in Global Coaching From a Journey Through Unusual Hardship

P Rosinski International Journal of Coaching in Organizations 2007

A minor sport’s injury turned into a worsening condition that could not be explained nor cured for over one year. The pain was such that it prevented me from sitting or standing up. Along the way, I learned a few lessons that helped me go through the hardship and finally recover. This experience underscores aspects of the mind-body connection and, incidentally, the importance of an integrated medicine. It also highlights the necessity of global coaching and reveals some of its characteristics, particularly the spiritual perspective. In this article, I tell you my story of this journey through unusual hardship and the insights I have gained.
