Chapter 1: The Revelation of Need
In a pivotal moment of my life, I encountered a word that I had previously dismissed as trivial. To my surprise, this word became a profound source of motivation and direction.

Section 1.1: A Shift in Perspective
It was astonishing to realize that a term I once viewed with disdain could hold transformative power. While I have experienced few moments akin to a fairy tale where an ordinary kitchen maid becomes a princess, this particular word underwent a remarkable transformation in my understanding. It wasn't just the context but rather the way I engaged with the word that sparked this change.

The moment of clarity came when I found myself in a challenging situation, having resigned from my job without a clear plan to replace my income. Many may label this decision as foolish, and I would not argue against that assessment. Nonetheless, this predicament ignited a powerful urgency within me to seek solutions for my financial stability.
Section 1.2: Embracing Need
For a long time, I perceived the feeling of being "needy" as a sign of weakness, something I had always avoided. I prided myself on my independence and introverted nature, but the pressing need to improve my circumstances became undeniable. This realization led me to see that my sense of need was not a hindrance but a driving force pushing me to leverage my skills and confront my challenges.
Chapter 2: The Question That Changed Everything

As I reflected on my situation, I posed a simple yet profound question to myself: “What was lacking in my previous job that could have made a difference?” The answers were straightforward—more financial reward, better work conditions, opportunities for self-expression, and, most crucially, a sense of support and respect.
Section 2.1: The Quest for Support
It struck me as peculiar that someone who identifies as independent would yearn for more support. Upon deep reflection, I realized that what I truly craved was to be supported in a manner that resonated with me. This insight became the foundation for my future career path, as I sought ways to provide the kind of support I had missed.
Section 2.2: Finding My Niche
I desired to excel in my work to feel fulfilled and successful. This meant not only mastering the technical aspects of my job but also discovering a unique approach to lead and inspire others. The more I contemplated my experiences and the frustrations of my former colleagues, the clearer it became that many managers shared my sentiments. Perhaps I could fill this gap and provide the support I had longed for?

Coaching is Not Rocket Science
I began my coaching journey by inviting individuals to share their challenges with me. I quickly learned that the best solutions often came from the clients themselves. My role was not to dictate answers but to guide them in uncovering their inner resources, enabling them to move forward.
I am not an omniscient advisor with all the answers; instead, I act as a facilitator, posing insightful questions that encourage exploration and self-discovery. The essence of coaching lies in recognizing our uniqueness, prompting each individual to find their distinct path forward.
So I pose this question to you: “What urgent need is driving you, urging you to uncover your true purpose in life?”
