Hearing this after the initial coaching session with a client was like music to my ears.

Especially since, in our discovery meeting, she wasn’t sure of what she wanted - quite in contrast to typical coaching, where we begin with a defined outcome.

She just knew something was off, and there was this unease in her stomach bothering her. Sometimes people aren’t clear on what exactly they need, and as a coach, my job is to listen - 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧 - not just to their words, but to their 𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧.

I am so glad that she reached out. Because, after some exploration, we were able to uncover the issue and identified the theme of our engagement as “SELF-ASSURANCE”.

𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 is the Recognition and Appreciation of Self, and clearing the cobwebs in our mind is a great start!

I have personally experienced the shift from seeking 𝒆𝒙𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 to becoming 𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇-𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒅 and know firsthand the power of this transformative journey. It is immensely fulfilling to help others walk a similar path 🌸
