Coaching in Context series

Unmasking: The Journey Home

As we go through life or experience challenging or traumatic events and experiences, we develop different protective mechanisms for surviving and thriving. Over time, those shields or masks become a part of our identity, how we see ourselves and how we show up in the world. 
 
We eventually forget that we no longer need those masks to thrive but are unwilling to take them off for fear of who and what it will reveal or that we will not survive without them. Sometimes, we are unable to take them off because we do not know how to. Hence, we remain men and women behind masks. Living a life of purpose and being a coach calls us to unmask and reset. 
 
This reflective and interactive session will introduce you to the UnMasking concept, give you a taste of the experience and offer some basic understanding of what is needed for you to UnMask and come home to yourself.
 
As Paul Coelho puts it: “Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about un-becoming everything that isn’t really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.”
