When we first connected I was in a phase of my life where I was ready for a transition. I was not happy in my current job, my long-time relationship had just come to an end, and I was having a hard time dealing with the impact of the pandemic on my daily routine. I wanted to have a job that I looked forward to, I wanted to be surrounded by people who brought joy to my life, and I wanted to be in a physical space that made me feel more at peace. I knew very little about life coaching when I considered the opportunity, but I was in a space where I was open to trying anything that would help me improve my life. I started life coaching a couple months before my lease was up, which put a fixed timeline on how long I had to begin making significant life changes. That shrinking timeline was really the trigger for me. I was already thinking about moving & finding a new job, but I hadn’t taken the actions I needed to make these desires a reality. I also felt a sense of commitment to my current life, and I was fearful of making changes that could potentially lead to failure. I had not worked with a life coach before. I think that was to my advantage because I was open to everything I learned from my experience, and I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to incorporate a life coach into my life with all the things I had going on.I was a bit nervous going into the first coaching session because I was insecure about where I was in my life at the moment, and it was tough facing some of those insecurities. I also didn’t know what to expect, or if this was the best opportunity for me at that time.In the first session I was able to think through and document the goals that were most important to me at that time. This was the first time I had done this exercise since realizing that I needed to make changes in my life. I had attempted to do this on my own, but it always felt too overwhelming, and I never knew where to start. Having support and guidance made it so much easier to visualize my goals. Since I began coaching I have definitely gotten feedback from friends about changes they’ve seen in me. I have close girlfriends who have referred to me as more open and forgiving of things that I previously might have had an immediate negative response to. I get comments about my confidence improving. I also get complimented on how proactive I was in making decisions to improve my life in a short period of time with Adozie’s guidance & support.The biggest change I've seen in myself is definitely my confidence. I am less likely to doubt myself, my decisions, and my abilities. I am more open to being myself in all spaces of my life. I am more open to meeting new people and creating new experiences. I have been more nurturing of the important relationships in myself, as well as more nurturing to myself. I have a more positive outlook, and I am excited about my life in a way that I hadn’t been in a long time.I would 1000% recommend making Adozie your life coach! She is so kind, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable.
