I've mentioned before that all great stories are a journey from slavery to freedom and that coaching is all about freeing people from the slavery of their minds and the slavery of their situations.
As coaches, we too have our "plight" and we too need to be set free. We can free ourselves, but just like everybody else, we can always use a hand. That's where I come in. I'm here to help coaches that are ready to be set free and ready to soar.
Here's a song I wrote specifically for coaches. I got the LA Music Awards Singer Songwriter of the year, San Diego music awards songwriter of the Year to set it to music and sing it for you. His name is Tiamo DeVettori.
The song is called "Freedom Starts Tonight"...
Listen to it here

Here are the lyrics...
"Freedom Starts Tonight!"
Verse 1:
Some times in our lives we just feel held down
We may have big dreams, but they get shot down.
I want to make a difference, but my offers don't land
I can see that people need me, but they don't understand
I'm working so hard and just getting by
I love what I do, and I just want to fly!
Chorus:
Freedom from worry, freedom from fear,
Making a difference, showing that I care
Freedom from the past, freedom for today
Making a great living, not fading away
Freedom from struggle, freedom from me
Making big changes, that last eternally
Bridge:
I'm ready for freedom, I'm ready to soar,
I'm ready for easy and worry no more
My future is certain, my future is bright
I know it will happen, it all starts with me tonight
Verse 2:
I live in a place where everything's hard work
I just left my job because my boss is a jerk
I'm making my life about helping others to soar
But I'm tied to the ground by an invisible force
I've put myself out there, but I'm alone in the cold
The constant trial and error is getting so old
Chorus:
Freedom from worry, freedom from fear,
Making a difference, showing I care
Freedom from the past, freedom for today
Making a great living, not fading away
Freedom from struggle, freedom from me
Making big changes, that last for eternity
Bridge:
I'm ready for freedom, I'm ready to soar,
I'm ready for easy and worry no more
My future is certain, my future is bright
I know it will happen, it all starts tonight
Freedom Starts With Me Tonight!

Christian,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this song - you have captured what too many coaches are going through in order to get their value out to the world. And I have to agree with you - I'm all about freedom. Thanks for all you give to the coaching world and this wonderful creativity.
