Coaching vs Consultating, Mind the gap for Get a Klu

WELCOME to Jeffrey Klubeck’s Blog Series: MIND THE GAP!

During my visit to London for the 2012 Summer Games I got inspired for a blog series. In the London Underground, “Mind the Gap” is the constant warning to “see and beware” of the space between the platform and the train door?literally a matter of life and death! Boarding my blog, however, this same phrase is a plea to consider the “valuable difference” between words or concepts that otherwise appear quite similar a difference that I am hoping leads us to decisions or behavior that empowers self and others!

What IS the difference, for example, between Paralyzed and Stuck?

What is most readily obvious in the similarities between paralyzed and stuck is the description of inaction. Whether fully paralyzed or simply stuck, we are NOT MOVING (taking action, being productive, making progress or growing!). Both describe states of inaction inaction, by the way, being the enemy of personal and professional growth!

When we really mind the gap, however, and pay attention to the DIFFERENCE between paralyzed and stuck, we see one word: ability and, if two words, add willingness and, if three, I’d suggest courage!

For the one who is truly Paralyzed is UNABLE to move and nothing can reverse that condition. Conversely, the person simply Stuck is COMPLETELY ABLE to move but temporarily blocked from doing so. Whether the block is internal (limiting beliefs, emotional addictions, behavioral patters) or external (business climate, regulations, economy, relationships/partners, competition, etc.) the block is always temporary and never permanent.

So, Mind the Gap! Paralyzed is permanent Stuck is temporary! The difference is HUGE, isn’t it?

While nothing can be done to reverse a true Paralysis, there are a gazillion things that can be done to get you UNSTUCK! Starting with your willingness and courage to face whatever block you must face INCLUDING the humility to receive help even better if you seek/solicit that help! Professional Coaching can be of great assistance in getting people UNSTUCK.images
