Coaching in another perspective

Why coaching? People begin coaching sessions for a variety of reasons, depending on their career or personal objectives. Some of them could be to become more clear about your life’s purpose and direction, to overcome stress and obstacles at work, to remain responsible and driven to accomplish their goals, to handle challenging life transitions, such as divorce, losing your job, or moving, to develop closer ties and greater trust with other people, and for many other reasons. If I was listening to all these a year ago, I would be very scared of how I could deal with them as a coach. This project (21st Century) gave me a lot of inputs until now, and I’m still gaining more and more so as to feel confident in being in the position of the coach. 
It’s true that as you help others achieve their goals, you naturally build confidence in your ability to guide and inspire, and you also keep yourself interested in lifelong learning and development. As a coach, you enable people to reach their greatest potential, overcome challenges, and create and accomplish goals. These are a few of the benefits of being a coach. Being in this position and starting to practice being a coach, I have already felt some of the above, and I can say that they give me more motivation and passion to continue and be as skilled as I can.
My participation in the program so far has empowered me with several resources. I have received advanced coaching tools and practices for working towards social inclusion, particularly in the areas of career guidance and competency development. Moreover, I am now aware more about how to develop and offer training and coaching programs that are suited to the requirements of youth and motivate them to use coaching resources. My contact with different clients so far enhanced my active listening, problem-solving, and leadership abilities, which are a very strong supply in my life in general.

Having been on the other side as well, talking as a client (in a coaching session), I also experienced several advantages. This process promoted introspection and a better comprehension of my strengths and weaknesses, and the structure of the sessions helped me stay focused and motivated. I worked more on my critical thinking ability, and I became more confident in having the capacity to make better personal and professional decisions. So I feel double-benefitted since I had the opportunity to experience both roles, and I am so ready to delve into more as a coach. The only sure thing is that I have to learn more and practice as well. I’m excited to see how this coaching experience progresses.
