Yesterday I delivered a webinar on #online learnin $Yesterday I delivered a webinar on #online learning for a group of my #coaching peers. Incredibly, after 30+ years of doing #training and #facilitation, I still get nervous. ⁣ ⁣ Some people talk about #puttingonyourbiggirlpanties when you’re nervous or face a challenge. For me, that means putting on my #sankofa bracelet, a gift from my father. The symbol is an ostrich reaching back for its egg.⁣ ⁣ 🔆 A dear Ghanian friend taught me that in “twi”, one of the native languages of Ghana, “sankofa” literally means “go back and take” and symbolizes the importance of how our past and history informs our present and future.⁣ ⁣ ✨ This particular talisman has a special significance for me because for years I told myself a negative story - that I was somehow not whole and lacking in some way because I did not know my true full heritage because I never met my biological father. ⁣ ⁣ 🦋 With time, I have come to deeply appreciate the lessons of my search for wholeness and I now recognize that knowing your genealogy is only a small fraction of what makes you who you are. ⁣ ⁣ ❣️ I am forever grateful that the man who raised me and loved me — my soul father — chose and gifted me with this bracelet, without even knowing its meaning. I can still picture us together in a little shop on #flatbushavenue # brooklyn where my dad had spotted the bracelet. 🧿 I cherish it bc it helps me choose which parts of my history I want to elevate and which part of my “story” I can set aside. ⁣ ⁣ 🪁 In my work as a coach I support my clients in the same way — honoring our past, yes, and also intentionally choosing our way forward.⁣ ⁣ 👉 DM me and let’s see how we can work together.⁣ ⁣ #personaljourney ⁣ #lifedesign⁣ #chooseyou ⁣ #chooseyourself ⁣ #ghana⁣ #worldwisdom$
