during the morning check-in, a coach you donât often work with pulls you aside for a private conversation. this particular coach has a reputation for their serious demeanor and for a moment, you might wonder if youâre getting in trouble for something. however, any thoughts of accepting your reprimanding are quickly squashed when they speak.
âas your trainers, itâs our responsibility to bring out your full potential as a performer,â he speaks in a clear, almost monotonous tone; maybe heâs too serious after all. âand part of that responsibility is challenging you to do things out of the ordinary. weâre trying to find where you might fit into the companyâs future plans.â
âfor the next week, please attend solo workshop classes for your afternoon special lessons. youâve already been signed up by the staff and weâll be expecting to see you in class on monday.â
the coach fixes you with a rather stern look, as if you were in trouble rather than being directed to a specific path on your training journey, at least for the next week. âthis is not necessarily a reflection of what the company has planned for you, to be clear,â he warns, âbut a way to help grow your skills and repertoire so that you can be prepared for whatever the future may hold. please attend the next week of lessons diligently.â
with no more to say, the stern coach dismisses you back into the crowd of trainees. you see him stop and speak to a few other trainees as well, supposedly recruiting others to this week-long solo performance course.
