I so enjoyed our session. Coach Meg inspires in me an energy for figuring out my world that is a pleasure. I found great value in our conversation in regard to the use of my signature strengths in my relationship with my son.

Coach Meg helped me to discover that I can use the skills and joy I possess in my coaching practice in creating a more mutually fulfilling relationship with Tucker. I was able to get a new perspective, from the greater distance (which created more comfort and a clearer view) of the window of my values. This view allowed me more spaciousness and a clarity which wasn't apparent from the muck of the everyday.

It was also a treat to more fully appreciate how much my values are present in my professional life, how fully I inhabit them in my chosen life's work, as well as in many areas of my play and recreation.

Since our conversation, I have used some of these coaching skills in conversations with Tucker. From my perspective they've been helpful to some degree in creating change in Tucker's behaviors - but even more profoundly in how I view him and my role in our relationship.

Thanks again Coach Meg!
