[Verse 1]
I showed up with PowerPoint and butterflies,
A trembling smile, a stack of hopeful slides.
Now I trade slides for punchlines and high-fives,
Coaching a circus where real change arrives.
Nervous at the start, stuttering hello,
Now I steer the room with a confident glow.
Logical levels set my compass and key,
A question bank for when the silence meets me.
[Pre‑Chorus]
“No suggestion after the question” — I hold that like truth,
A beat, a breath, let the brave speak their proof.
We set our ground rules, community maps and ways,
So every session gets sticky, safe, and stays.
[Chorus]
Sabai sabai — calm and steady, hear the choir say,
(Group: Sabai sabai!)
Sabai sabai — we laugh, we learn, we play,
(Group: Sabai sabai!)
What stands in the way? Say it, don’t delay! (Group: Say it!)
Accountability lights our path each day (Group: We move!)
Sabai sabai — calm and steady, hear the choir say,
(Group: Sabai sabai!)
[Verse 2]
Group coaching’s a potluck of hearts and aims,
Different maps, same campfire, we call our names.
Team coaching’s corporate lanes with assigned lanes,
But here folks arrive by choice, with their own flames.
We invite the rules: respect, share the floor,
“How do you want to move?” — then we aim for more.
I ask the golden line that flips stuck into stride:
“What stands in the way?” — and the answers won’t hide.
[Pre‑Chorus]
Emotions need motion — talk, write, dance, sprint or sway,
Quick steps, scribbles, or a breath on a rainy day.
Emotional intelligence tells you what’s shown,
Emotional maturity shows you how to own.
[Chorus]
Sabai sabai — calm and steady, hear the choir say,
(Group: Sabai sabai!)
Sabai sabai — we laugh, we learn, we play,
(Group: Sabai sabai!)
What stands in the way? Say it, don’t delay! (Group: Say it!)
We sketch a plan, then we take it out and slay (Group: We do!)
Sabai sabai — calm and steady, hear the choir say,
(Group: Sabai sabai!)
[Bridge]
“No suggestion after the question” — let it land, let it breathe,
Hold space, then watch the sparks of the honest weave.
My job is not to keep people in their comfort zone,
I prod gently toward edges where their true selves are grown.
Like a Muay Thai drill with a grin and a wink,
Sabai sabai keeps me calm when my confidence shrink.
Like a boxer who breathes slow in a clinch and then sways,
I rock with the punch, find the opening, set the pace.
[Bridge Tag — Coaching Call]
What stands in the way? Say it, don’t delay!
What stands in the way? Say it, don’t delay!
(Whispered echo) What stands in the way…?
[Chorus — Big Call & Response]
Sabai sabai — calm and steady, hear the choir say,
(Group: Sabai sabai!)
Sabai sabai — we laugh, we learn, we play,
(Group: Sabai sabai!)
What stands in the way? Say it, don’t delay! (Group: Say it!)
We name the block, we test the map, we find the way (Group: We move!)
Sabai sabai — calm and steady, hear the choir say,
(Group: Sabai sabai!)
[Outro]
I came with butterflies and a hopeful slide parade,
I leave with tools, a tribe, a
