I’m often asked, “Have you used a Life Coach?, Why?”
My answer, a resounding “Yes”. I first sought a life coach when I was 21 years old. At the time, fresh out of University, I was struggling to decide the direction of my career. I had three choices and they all had pros and cons. I was totally confused. I was the first in my family to go to University so I didn’t have anyone in my inner circle to bounce ideas with.
One day, whilst watching The Oprah Winfrey show, I learned what a Life Coach is and does. I realised I could do with a Life Coach. I went to my local library where I found a business card for a Life Coach. Before I knew it, I was introduced to a Japanese concept, Ikigai, to help figure out my purpose and essentially identify my career option.
The strategy session lasted 90 minutes and by the end of it I had clarity and a plan of my next five steps. What I loved the most were the powerful questions from the coach. On my own, I would never be able to challenge my insights and stretch my perspective. It gave me the guidance and momentum I needed; I was no longer stuck in indecision. It was empowering and a real confidence boost. I learned how to become more decisive which is my superpower today, some 23 years later. You won’t see me spending more than 2 minutes deciding what to eat at a restaurant!
