hange can be both exciting and terrifying. I discovered the transformational power of coaching when I was on the verge of big changes. At that moment in my life I was stuck, both personally and professionally unsatisfied. I wanted to take a leap into a new adventure but did not want to go it alone. I hired a coach to help me through the transition. I was captivated, and in 2011, I began training to become a coach myself. When I was stuck, I lacked clarity and direction. I was not accustomed to reflecting on my experience to gain new awareness and learn about myself both as a human being and as a professional. Coaching was an effective dive into exploring how I was functioning and gaining new perspectives. These insights started driving new behaviours, and eventually new results. Now, as a coach, I help people have similar experiences of discovery and progress.
