How coaching changed my life

The first time I contacted a coach, I really didn't know what to expect, or even if coaching could help me.

By then, I had been working for more than 15 years for the same company. I had held several positions, as an engineer, a manager, a project manager... etc. However, for the last 3 to 4 years, I hadn't been feeling like I belonged there. I told myself that the position didn't suit me anymore, but even after changing position, I could not get motivated anymore, like I had been in the past for years to push forward , to excel at my job, and to get up in the morning...

As part of a redundancy plan, my company was offering the possibility to leave voluntarily. That was not the first time this happened, but I had never even thought about leaving, it had never crossed my mind.

But this time, it was different. I started thinking "what if I left?"...

I was suddenly overwhelmed by a lot of different emotions: curiosity, doubt, hope, panic fear, confusion... After a few days, I was completely lost and exhausted... and I still didn't have any answer to my question !!!

One of my friends had become a coach after she left her job, and one day as we were talking she offered to coach me. I was a bit puzzled as, after all, how could coaching help me get rid of this terrible fear which seized me every time I considered leaving my job?? This fear which led me to believe that I couldn't do anything else, that it would be totally unreasonable to leave a stable and well paid job, even though I didn't fit in anymore. This fear to fail in finding a new activity in which I would fit...

But I took the plunge (nothing to lose, right?!) and coaching helped me realise that I had more strength and talents in me than the ones I used in my job, and that the skills I had acquired in my professional career could be transposed to another activity. Thanks to coaching, I have found my new mission, an activity with which I am aligned and which helped me get motivated again. All this helped me overtake the fear which was holding me back from stepping towards freedom, and personal and professional fulfilment.
