Life Coaching!

Probably all of us have heard the term "life coaching" and have a basic understanding of what it is. I had been interested in life coaching for years, but never got a chance to pursue it, or maybe I just didn’t yet have the will.

While living in Kenya, I went through some self-discoveries, self-thinking, and worked through what I wanted to do with my life next. I found myself searching for life coach training. I was so surprised at the number of resources out there-- blogs, companies, interest groups, different types of training, certifications, etc.

After some research I have decided to get my life coach training from Coach U, a U.S.-based company on the market for over 20 years. Coach U provides live training for students all over the world who come from many different backgrounds.

At some point in our lives, I believe we all need a mentor to help us see the big picture. We are so busy with the challenges of daily life-- working, raising kids in today’s digital world, socializing, feeling the pressure of being active on social media, trying to be fit, eating and living healthy... and so much more.

All these expectations create so much pressure for us. I sometimes feel like we have to carry a couple of identities to be accepted. And at some point, we feel restless, fatigued, lost, and don’t know where to look. Sometimes these feelings are too hard to confess to ourselves, let alone to our friends and family. This is where life coaching plays a great role. The best thing about it is that you’re not alone and don’t have to feel and live that way.

I heard a saying, "You can only be successful in the things you are passionate about." Isn't that a powerful thought? This is how the journey started for me. How about you?
