My coaching journey in a nutshell

My coaching journey in a nutshell

In May 2020, on the first day of an executive coaching course, I was put into a breakout room with three other people and we had to coach each other.The act of giving my full attention to the other person without letting my thoughts get in the way was really hard, and totally out of my comfort zone.I found it almost impossible to have a non-intentional conversation without a particular goal (from my side) with a stranger, just to serve them.Right after the class I called the teacher and told her I was not empathetic enough, and that I thought I was a terrible coach. I really doubted coaching was something for me.She said: "Yes, you are not a good coach. . . yet!!!"So I continued and the following months I had the hardest time learning coaching techniques from different schools and practicing with my peers.The day I finished the course and presented my coaching model was magical. I felt I had something to which I would love to dedicate all my time and energy, and decided to drop everything and go for it.I kept on gaining experience, first with practice clients and then with paid clients. They all seemed happy. I created strong relationships and became very good at spotting the beliefs that my clients had but that didn't serve them!Today, I´m still learning and investing in my self-awareness. Even though I feel happier and more fulfilled, I sometimes lose balance and have to work hard to gain it back. This is a demanding profession. 😅And that´s my coaching journey in a nutshell.If you are craving coaching, contact me. Turns out I love helping strangers achieve their goals! 😎
