Kvelling About Clients
Posted by maiaberenscoach on January 18, 2008
I don’t know what the right word is to explain this feeling but I feel proud of the accomplishments of my clients. When one feels proud of their children, takes pleasure in their accomplishments, there is the perfect Yiddish word – kvell. Just found a good definition on a website called bubbygram.com. Kvell = to burst with pride from the achievements of your loved ones.
That’s how I feel about Anita’s accomplishments. She worked in the academic world for 49 years. She retired a bit over a month ago and she already has two coaching clients! Of course, she’s
also going through all the feelings of the huge change in her life, but courageously moving into her new tomorrow.
This is another way I know the coaching relationship is working. She’s moving forward and I am kvelling!

Maia has been my coach for over a year and a half, and I have seen our relationship evolve as my needs have changed – Maia remains to me a valuable resource as a coach. Since I am now coaching others, I will bend her ear from time to time, as I watch it unfold. And, yes, there is that sense of kvell even in the little “ah ha” moments I see in my clients! Maia is my training wheels – sometimes the training wheels come off and we just cruise together (that’s the best!). Thanks, Maia.
