Behind The Coaching Curtain

"𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗦𝗮𝗶𝗱, '𝗜 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂...' 𝗜 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝘇𝗲."

How would you feel if a few children stepped out of a crowd and said with quiet conviction,"𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙄 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙬 𝙪𝙥."

I will never forget that day. Even now, it still feels like yesterday. I had been teaching elocution and subtly infusing etiquette at a school I’d worked with for years. One day, I was told a school party was being planned, and I must attend.

I’m not one for parties, but I showed up anyway, grateful for the invitation. The event kicked off with laughter, games, performances, and teacher-parent-student moments. Then came the speeches.

One child stepped forward, spoke, and ended with, “𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙄 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙬 𝙪𝙥, 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝘼𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙮 𝘿𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙤𝙡𝙖.” I smiled. Then the second child said it. Then the third. Then the fourth. And the fifth. All different children, all saying the same thing—with no prior rehearsal, just heartfelt honesty.

I stood frozen. Their voices echoed in my heart.

"𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗮𝗺 𝗜?"  I asked myself. "𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙙𝙤 𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚? 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙙𝙤 𝙄 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙙𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙨 𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙢𝙚?"

I felt honoured, 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗺𝗲𝗱... and 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱. I wanted to pull them aside and say, “𝙋𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚, 𝙙𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙢𝙚—𝙗𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚. 𝘽𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧. 𝘽𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛.”  But I knew better. I couldn’t throw their admiration away.

For weeks, I became quiet. Thoughtful. I realised: 𝙄 𝙖𝙢 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙙. Closely. Not for my popularity, not for riches, but for how I carry myself and go about my work.

That moment changed me.

I began to lead with more 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻—every step, every word, every interaction. Because someone is watching. 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗔𝗱𝗺𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗛𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴.

And so, I say to you today—𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Someone sees you as their silent role model.

That’s why we created “𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲”—a course that helps children learn to identify and model the right values in people.

Because children 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 admire someone. The goal is to help them choose wisely.
