My journey of becoming a Coach !!

(1/3)

Today, It seems a load has been lifted off my chest and a different fire burns within my body!

I have decided to rest my efforts in trying to secure a job in the Employee experience, engagement, organisational development, building purpose driven teams.

Quitting my job in the engineering sector and getting into HR was always going to be tough. I knew that - yet the rebel inside me had decided that a company that does not value me and my contributions in reality is not a company to work for.

I quit! There is so much power in those words. Enough is enough - I have had my share of waiting, parking possibilities that I can start on my own!

I have tried everything within my reach and beyond and yet the job remains elusive.

I have always been passionate about People, enabling them, empowering them, building a culture that is safe, inspiring and allows them to bring all of their self to the table. Building teams around a common purpose, scaling them with zero budgets yet maximising the human connection and energy. To Impact and inspire a big change - an organisation is a huge potential gold mine and I wanted that seat of influence.

In reality, it was always a game that I was set to lose. I have learnt the lessons the hard way.

I park that rebel outside, that mentality of hope around impossible/improbable happening to me. That bubble is gone.

Coaching has found me. And I am now a fully ready Coach!

No more resumes, no more working for shitty bosses, no more trying to change things within my reach and capacity.

Only coaching, just that - putting my head down and working for my own self instead of changing the landscape for me and others!

Yet still making Impact, still making a difference and still bringing Joy!

I am proud of myself ! I quit this struggle.
I embrace the challenge of building a coaching empire!

Thank you for everyone who has helped me get here.
Thank you for everyone who gave me hope and then left me stranded.
Thank you for all those that did not bother to help - you helped me the most.
Thank you for those that sabotaged my journey so far - Your efforts shall always be remembered!

It's not been easy!
Hell no!

I have had to wade through emotional juggernauts, waterfalls, rapids and what not!

As a coach myself, I was completely aware of the diarheoa of thoughts, feelings, memories that was coursing through my body, mind and soul!

There were tribes of these emotions doing a hartal -
Tiredness,
Anger,
Sadness,
Hurt,
Betrayal,
Frustration,
Irritation,
Hopelessness,
Reality truth bombs and more.

I had to acknowledge all these emotions, give seat to all and just let them share their story!

Employee experience, Engagement was a big chunk of my last three years of contribution beyond the software realm. A, place that I felt that I truly belonged.
I was a natural. I was good at it. I wanted an opportunity, and to be paid for it...

But the forces of the universe had other ideas...

I was so confident that I will get a job, that eight months of hearing only silence was a punch in the stomach!!!

Had coaching not come my way - I don't think I would have had the guts to give this idea it's Mercy Killing!

But coaching found me, I used some of the tools, the coaching mindset to find space to let it go.
Lift that load off my chest and put my legs in just one boat instead of two!

To find it in me to let go was not a one day affair, it took me time.. I had to send the tribes back home. Let the emotions down the Ganga and perform it's last rites.

The more I moved, the lighter the load got. Stronger was the light towards the coaching space.

A space that gave me joy, confidence, conviction and passion that helps me sustian my self, grow and thrive!!!

was I Scared? Apprehensive?
Yeah to some extent. But the power in the idea just got bigger with each day...

That self belief just got stronger!! And like this picture suggests - It was a roar of emotions... Letting go, Embracing the life ahead with a purpose. with an intensity like no other!!!

That's my story !
