\"\"Holding space<\/em> is a common term in the field of coaching. Holding space is about really walking with someone we know, care about, during a time of need. They may be going through a difficult experience or are struggling with a new reality in their life. When we are holding space for someone else, we are saying “I see you. I can let you feel and express any emotions you need to feel. I can handle it. I will respect you with my presence and deep listening. I will not judge you or try and fix you.”<\/p>\n

Do you have someone in your life that does this for you? Can you do this for others? If this is a completely new concept to you, I challenge you to pick just one thing to cultivate more of in your life… maybe its being less judgmental of others, or may its being a better listener, or maybe not jumping in and trying to fix the problem. Holding space is a deeply respectful way of being with another person.<\/p>\n

It is grounded in a belief that there is nothing wrong with the person. Ultimately, by holding space for another human being, you are saying, “I accept your humanity, and I respect where you are in this moment.”<\/p>\n

Holding space takes practice.<\/p>\n

Holding space connects people.<\/p>\n

Holding space changes the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
