“Where do I go from here?”
When Dora (name changed) began coaching with me, she was confused about some major life decisions she was facing. Should she:
- move back to her home country to be closer to her family? If so, when?
- seek further growth at her current job or explore other options?
- start a family? If so, now or later?
Dora was ripe for change and enthusiastically threw herself into the coaching relationship. After creating a beautiful collage of images representing what she wanted from life - an exercise I often recommend - she was surprised by what emerged from our exploration of the imagery she had chosen. We delved into their significance, and she happily gleaned new truths about her dreams and desires.
With new-found clarity, Dora decided to stay put and invest in her current life, job and new relationship. Without an impending move on the horizon, things felt much simpler and clearer and she was able to focus on improving her present situation.
As is often the case, new themes began to emerge through coaching. Dora decided to embrace caring for herself better both physically and financially. She had a habit of rushing, overbooking herself and being late. We worked on developing concrete tools that would help her to prioritize herself. She also found a creative way of restructuring her debt to manage the repayments better. In short, she boldly faced up to herself and as she did so, realized she could create a new, more positive reality!
The Outcome:
By the time we concluded our coaching relationship, Dora had resolved the majority of her dilemmas and felt much more positive and light-hearted about life. She was eager to see where all this would take her! I recently heard from her, and was delighted to learn that she and her partner plan to start a family in the near future, and that she is happy and stimulated in her job.
