I spent a couple of hours in the A&E section of our new local hospital yesterday, having almost grated the end off one of my fingers (hence no post yesterday).
The nurse, who had been very business-like and serious, and was trying to re-attach the skin flap at the end of my finger asked me what I did for a living.
When I told her that I was a business and life coach, her face lit up and she said, "Oh, how wonderful. That must be so nice being able to help people like that."
I confirmed that indeed it is.
A few minutes later when she was thinking about me leaving and getting home, she asked me whether I drove there or was I driven.
When I said that I was driven, she perked up, "that's perfect as a coach to be able to say "I was driven"."
Her enthusiasm and humour turned the whole experience from a bit of a tiresome and painful ordeal to an uplifting experience for me
I walked out of there smiling at the end.
I didn't get her name but I thank her anyway for making my day.
