Incongruent : out of keeping; unexpected, not what you thought you were getting.
In a recent visit to Cape Town, we enjoyed some amazing food at the Waterside Restaurant at the V and A waterfront. Looking down at the menu we were intrigued by the course named catus garden.
It was a narrow trough of assorted catus plants. But nestled in amongst them masquerading as a catus was our palate cleanser (middle of the photo).
It could best be described as a solid Margarita sorbet – all tequila, chilli and lime, the spikes were flower stamens.
Creative and quirky- yes.
Delicious- utterly
Incongruent – most definitely
And what has this to do with coaching?
There are times when working with my clients, they start to see and appreciate some aspect of their work from a different perspective, a different lens, something unexpected and incongruent.
