𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝: 𝐌𝐲 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧 𝐈𝐂𝐅 𝐏𝐂𝐂 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡
A few years ago, I found myself at a crossroads in life—a place where many of us land at some point. For over two decades, I was deeply immersed in the education industry, shaping young minds, creating lesson plans, and pouring my heart into teaching. But somewhere along the way, 𝐈 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥... 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 The spark that once fueled my passion had dimmed.
𝐈 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐲 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 Was this where I truly wanted to be? Was this the impact I wanted to leave behind?
One thing I knew for sure—𝐈 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞. That part of me hadn’t changed. But maybe, just maybe, I was ready for something new.
As I reflected on 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠, I realized it was the 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬.
𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙞𝙩 𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙙: What if I shifted my focus from teaching children to empowering adults? Could this be the bridge between my past and the future I yearned for?
The idea of coaching felt like a natural progression—𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐈 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞, 𝐮𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥. It wasn’t just about a career change; it was about 𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐲 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞.
𝐅𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲: I am humbled and proud to share that 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐲 𝐈𝐂𝐅 𝐏𝐂𝐂 (𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡) 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. This journey hasn’t been easy—it’s been full of late nights, self-doubt, and moments of learning that stretched me in ways I didn’t think possible. But every challenge has been worth it.
Coaching has given me a renewed sense of passion, a deeper connection to the people I work with, and a profound appreciation for the power of transformation—theirs and mine.
𝐓𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐜𝐤, 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡, 𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐟 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫—𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭. Change is scary, yes. But it’s also where growth happens.
Here’s to rediscovering passion, embracing change, and the beautiful mess of transformation. 💫
