Activity 1:
Who are you today?
Warm-up Prompt for Creative Thinking
By reflecting on music, paintings, sculpture and poetry, we can open our minds to new ideas, and to creative ways of thinking about the project, challenge, or question ahead.
Read the poem Begin Again (below) quietly to yourself, and then read it again out loud.
What is the poem saying to you?
What pictures come to mind?
Which words or lines catch your attention?
Keep these ideas in mind as you begin your first coaching activity.
Close this window when you’re ready to return to coaching.
Begin Again
I meet myself in the quiet of not knowing.
Open to new questions, new solutions.
Alive with curiosity and wonder.
Each breath, a pause, a commitment
to choose presence, to choose trust
in myself, in what I know,
and in what I might find out.
Begin again.
Two hopeful words.
The path is always there.
When I step away,
it awaits my return.
My turn to begin,
again.
