Kei’s coaching journey
a blend of coaching and mentoring to explore her professional future
The objective
I was looking to explore my professional future - I was partway through the Animas coaching diploma and wanted to explore how coaching might fit into my work life. I also wanted to explore changing my 'day job' and what that could be.
the process
It was brilliant! I really appreciated the balance between self-led / structured exercises and free-flowing conversation within the sessions. I personally got a lot out of really defining my values, as well as energisers and drainers - and exploring all of these in the context of various work-based decisions I wanted to make. I also valued how you were able to both coach and mentor me when it came to exploring what my future possibilities as a coach could be.
The result
I have got to know myself so much better, and our conversations definitely helped me to finish and pass my Animas diploma and to secure a new secondment which I'm really looking forward to. And I will continue to keep revisiting whether I'd like coaching to be a bigger part of my work life!
My style
I really loved working with you - I always found you to be very warm and present, and I looked forward to our conversations. I also really appreciated your flexibility and understanding the whole time we worked together.
Your strengths: warm, personable, observant, present, curious and a good sense of humour!
