This is how I provide service, and it energizes me in huge and profound ways. As a life coach, I welcome what my clients want to expose to the light, and together we explore the learning that comes out of it. I feel most alive when I’m in the place of deeply witnessing another person.

Here's the definition from wikipedia: A gift economy is a social theory in which goods and services are given without any explicit agreement for immediate or future expectations. Sometimes there is an implicit expectation of the return of comparable goods or services, political support, or the gift being later passed on to a third party.

What is challenging for me is to be understanding with the friend who is always down and complaining, the client who stalls my work by not replying to emails, or the customer service representative who reads from a script of answers in response to my complaint. I lose my patience, and sometimes I get angry.
