Growing from ‘the enthusiastic motivator’ to ‘Coach’

 

Changing jobs, careers and countries shaped me in so many ways…

A Career Coach helped me see that I had the talent for Coaching and Mentoring.

I wrote it down and put the idea in the freezer for my future career.

Less than a year later, while I was unemployed looking for a Digital Marketing job I wanted to start sharing my knowledge and expertise with the world.

I thought to myself: “Hey, I can totally write about career development and improve my marketing skills at the same time.”

That’s how I realized that I always loved to help family, friends, colleagues with their career development.

I have been sharing and posting career tips and quotes on social media since 2010…

It was so obvious and I couldn’t see back then.

I created an Instagram Account with the name @maria.careercoaching !

Even though I was not yet a coach but I had to give myself a name for that type of content. I was also considering at that point to get a coaching certification…

Guess what happened after manifesting my idea ?

A Coach and Director of Coach Masters Academy (CMA) contacted me via private message to have a coaching coffee chat.

As soon as I got my job in 2020, I paid for ACC Coaching Course. I made this investment for my future career coaching career.

Wowww what a feeling ! I fell in love with Transformative Coaching <3

After that I continued with my PCC Training at CMA and I became an ICF Member.

I coached peers and clients on career & business topics and I combined my support with digital content marketing consulting & mentoring.

This is how I pivoted from Career Coaching to Business Coaching.

I enjoy so much guiding my friends, clients, peers to start and grow their coaching business, freelancing or startups.
