Welcome!

Welcome Everyone!

I'm Embrya deShango, the Coffeehouse Coach. We'll get into that later. First, I'd just like to tell you that this is our space; I'm just a facilitator of conversations. There's no me, without you, etc., etc.

So back to this concept of Coffeehouse Coaching. Let me say, I love coffeehouses. I love cafes, little restaurants, and if I ever get to travel to Europe, I'm sure I'll love tavernas as well. There is something magic that happens in these places. They not only provide good food and drink, but they also feed the soul. It's trite, but true. The small tables invite confidences shared between small groups; the comfortable seats the perfect setting for a book group or impromptu political debate. These are the perfect places to meet; an old friend, a blind date, a potential client, or just that next person to catch your eye across a crowded room.

There is enough noise to feel comforted, and enough privacy to finish that article before deadline. The air is full of potential- who will walk through the door? What will be new and exciting in the neighborhood? The coffee flows, or the tea, for me- hot or cold. In winter, the coffeehouse invites like a cocoon, steamed windows and warm people ensconced within. In summer, doors wide open to encourage a breeze, it serves a s a refreshing alternative to four stuffy walls, a place to bask in sunshine and dawdle, stock up on sustenance before a hike or bike ride.

I love coffeehouses...don't you? Tell me why!
