Shrink Your Snakes
I was coaching one of my clients, She is a Senior Recruiter in a Manufacturing Company , she was
sharing that one of her main challenge to all her problems was that she was risk averse and loathe to
take any action , so she felt de-motivated and nervous about any escalation that happened in her
office.
Did she feel competent enough, Yes! She affirmed but she did not feel she could cope with the
problems that might arise. Going to meet her higher ups, made her feel blank, and invariably she felt
tight in the stomach.
After a couple of sessions , where she chose to work on herself vis a vis authority , and she
implemented, promptness and learning to say No!
During the fourth session, she wanted to work on her fear of Managers. I asked her to imagine a
snake in the room, and what would her reaction be? She said she would scream and run and hang on
to the fan. She imagined it to be a 5 ft quite heavy, pock marked venomous, brown snake lying on
the side of the table, where she went for meetings. I asked her to imagine that she could shrink the
snake. After a few seconds, she said she shrunk it to a thin black one lying in the corner of the room,
only feet long.
Now what would she do? I asked. She said she would call the gardener and have it removed.
The silence of realization hit us.
How often do we create big snakes in our minds, that it renders us powerless, and incapable of
action, depletes our ability to cope. Yet time and time again we have in reality coped with harsher and
tougher situations, sudden crisis, unexpected ambiguities, unknown people.
