Discovering Your Niche'

How does one know when they've discovered their niche'? Recently I've had the opportunity to coach a middle school teacher. We are working on lesson plans for the fall, and how to use "reading and writing workshop" as the vehicle to disseminate the curriculum. Along with my coachee, I've again discovered the love of teaching and learning! We laugh and share and it's through those warm moments - a genuine connection is formed - a wonderful bond. Trust is enabled and suddenly the boundaries are limitless. Time passes by so quickly during a session - it's almost as if we slipped into a time capsule and we're oblivious to everything around us. Training is awesome, but there's nothing like that warm personal contact with another human being - nothing like the feeling of making a difference in someone's life. To find your niche' is sort of like finding a new sense of freedom; a new lease on life. Somehow I think I've discovered my niche'. How about you - what's yours?
