How to Coach Yourself and Others Essential Knowledge For Coaching | Page 441

And whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is me.
This is authentic and represents where I am in that moment in time.
When I review later how I looked and sounded, what I said and did,
And how I thought and felt, some parts may turn out to be unfitting.
I can discard that which is unfitting,
And keep that which proved fitting,
And invent something new for that which I discarded.
I can see, hear, feel, think, say and do.
I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive,
and to make sense and order out of the world of people
and things outside of me.
I own me, and therefore I can engineer me.
I am me and I am okay.
Hope you’ve enjoyed this post, and, if you’ve been inspired in any way, or

Virginia Satir (26 June 1916 – 10 September 1988) was an American
author and psychotherapist, known especially for her approach to family
therapy and her work with Systemic Constellations. Her most wellknown books are Conjoint Family Therapy, 1964, Peoplemaking, 1972,
and The New Peoplemaking, 1988.
She is also known for creating the Virginia Satir Change Process Model, a
psychological model which was developed through clinical studies, and
later applied to organizations. Change management and organizational
gurus of the 1990s and 2000s embrace this model to define how change
impacts organizations.
