Do you ever feel that things are a little out of order, messy or tangled up?

 

As a project & programme manager, colleagues told me I create order out of chaos. 

 

I find this rewarding: identifying the different threads; collecting thoughts, perspectives and visions; untangling them and making a plan that happens.

 

Coaching can be like this too. A client arrives with overwhelm, or is not sure where to start, or doesn’t realise what their strengths are. We gently challenge to unpick their thinking and help them establish what resources they have, where they want to get to, and how they can do it.

 

It all aligns well with crochet: the ultimate form of creating order out of chaos.

 

It leaves me wondering, though… is it sometimes good to just leave things messy?
