Coaching Client, June – November 2008

I went for coaching as I had a strong belief that I was meant to be doing something more vital with my life than what I was doing at the time. At the time, I had a very successful career but was unfulfilled. The problem was that I didn't know what that "something" was.

I had no previous experience of coaching and didn't know what to expect. I now realise that coaching enables you to open up your mind and thoughts to someone who has no preconceived ideas about you nor any "vested interest" in the future direction of your life. To be clear, the sessions though are not a talking shop. The purpose is to achieve a result.

The result for me was a change of profession to become a school teacher. I am clear that being a teacher is what my vocation in life was meant to be. I'm equally clear that the remainder of my working life (another 20-30 years) will be so much more fulfilled.

It will not come as a surprise that I believe that provided you are serious about changing an aspect of your life coaching is definitely worthwhile.
