What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
What I really love about being in the coaching industry or, at a higher level, mental health, is that it truly feels like what I do contributes to society, my community, and myself. I'm building the community I want to live in.
This community consists of people who have the emotional intelligence and tools to navigate life. I recognized for myself, and for many of my clients, that there are many tools they didn't receive growing up.
Often, this wasn't because they didn't want them. They simply didn't know about these tools or have access to them. Their parents, not having learned these skills themselves, couldn't teach them.
We didn't learn this in school or university. So, I work with many 20- and 30-somethings who have made it this far, but struggle emotionally. Being a difference-maker in that space brings me a lot of joy, knowing I can enact change.
