My Journey
It's not always easy to figure it out
For years, I fully dedicated myself to an organization that I believed in. Then the bottom fell out.
Poor financial management led to office closures, department reorganizations and massive layoffs. I stayed the course and wore the brave face when I was assured “that was the last of the layoffs.” Soon, I found myself laid off and it hurt. Like the sudden end of a committed relationship with no reciprocity. I spent over a year trying to figure out what was next for me. Interviewing for new opportunities that I really did not want but was willing to take – just because.
None of those opportunities were working out. I either never heard back or received the dreaded, “Thanks for applying but…” email. Fortunately, one of the gifts I possess is tenacity. I refuse to give up and believe that anything is possible. You just have to stick with it.
That special gift along with my love for people put me on a new, unexpected path. I started connecting with friends, family and colleagues who were seeking guidance. We discussed, among other things, potential career opportunities, creative solutions to monetary problems and life challenges. I was the relatable person who would listen to concerns about their future without judgement. Someone who would provide sound advice. I enjoyed supporting them and I thrived. I was using my gifts and living my purpose. I was coaching.
Figuring out that my true calling is helping others has proven to be incredibly satisfying. It gives me peace and my life purpose. I feel accomplished when others succeed. As a result, I made the decision to devote more to ME and earn my coaching certification. That self-investment of my gifts and love for people is the genesis of Tenacious Coaching, where we are determined to help you figure it out too.
