What life experience did you go through that made you want to become a coach?

Who could’ve expected a moment in time, an unseen pandemic like COVID, to change the country’s operations and lifestyle, from the top to the bottom and from the inside out?
Because of that moment, on March 8 2020 I lost my primary job at the studio. My secondary work teaching and coaching, immediately became my focus. Personal and financial Survival Mode kicked in.
Retraining research writing are all powerful tools and necessary to restart my life at 67 years old.
So I said ‘self’ how many life start ups do you need to help others rebuild?
I’m in outreach ministries. Moving forward now in the seed stage, I’m setting up ‘———-lifestyle Coach’ as my motivation and work. I know I’m on the right track because this is where I serve God first. Amen 🙏

The residuals after the fact... are the hardest- experiencing a tragedy hits the solar plexus and lingers in the mind .
I took a wrong turn on Ventura Blvd last Sunday. The BLM and Antifa highjacked a peaceful pro Trump rally. They bombed/covered my car with eggs and green stuff while I was at a stop light. Yes my window was down and I got hit with slime. The two cars in both sides of me got it too...

I have a Master's degree in counseling. I worked in community mental health before transitioning into teaching. I facilitated an IOP group throughout the pandemic and this made me want to return to the counseling field but I never got my LPC and I would prefer to do a private practice. After a little research, I decided to do a life coaching certification. I am currently starting private practice part time as a certified life coach. I hope to work with people around relationship issues and addiction recovery

Motivation is key when it comes to bettering yourself, your team and your brand. Without self-motivation, you'll be less likely to inspire your team to work together to better your business. Like a muscle, self-motivation becomes stronger the more you use it. Mastering the art of self-motivation will take some time to become a habit. However, with daily practice, you'll not only better yourself and your business, you'll inspire your team to lead more meaningful personal and professional lives.
