Long before I became a life coach, long before I became a
psychotherapist, I was in the IT industry. I worked for a Fortune 500 company
as a software tester. I enjoyed being around my co-workers. The benefits were
excellent. And I was well paid. But the work was unfulfilling. I would come home at night and think, “Is
this all there is?” So one day I decided to do some research. I attended a
career exploration workshop and discovered that the career I picked wasn’t for
me. Though I am an introvert, I truly enjoy helping people.
So I did more research and decided to pursue a degree in
psychology. I completed my degree and obtained my license. During the process
of obtaining my license, I worked with a lot of mentally unhealthy people. I
also pursued the license to treat sex offenders. As you can imagine, I have
heard a lot of horror stories and have helped to heal a lot of broken lives.
During the process I learned several things. I learned that I don’t work well
with certain populations. And that’s okay. Any therapist or coach worth his
salt will tell you that you’re not a perfect fit for every client and not every
client is a perfect fit for you. I learned that I need balance. Dealing with
traumatic issues on a consistent basis will take a toll. I also learned that
not everyone who needs help has to be mentally unstable. There are plenty of
healthy people out there who need a push in the right direction. Perhaps to
gain a bit of clarity in their lives. So I decided to become a life coach. I
experience great joy when I see my clients make goals and achieve significant
breakthroughs. It’s a win-win situation. And who doesn’t love a win? So if you

I made some changes in my life. Isn’t it time you made some changes in yours?
