Ingredients of a journey to true purpose
Part 1. Awareness
This article in no way is a “wannabe” itinerary to guaranteed professional freedom. I feel the urge of sharing my journey with you and my community on how I have arrived at an important milestone on my path and why I feel grateful.
I would like to celebrate the battle I just won, but who am I in war with?
CREATING AWARENESS
"ESZTER as a Service" (EaaS)
I recently became an ICF qualified business coach.
The celebration is not so much about the diploma, but rather about an inner battle won that helped me to unfold the possibility of selling myself as the service for the first time.
“What do you mean ‘Eszter as a Service’?” – you might ask rightfully.
Numerous times people around me (family members, friends, colleagues, business partners) popped this extremely uncomfortable question to me that I could not answer for a long time:
“Why are you so-to-speak hiding behind brand names, solutions, concepts, ideas, projects? Why don’t you just simply sell yourself? Listening to you, you are always representing those with such integrity, passion, and professionalism, taking us on board with your enthusiasm.
Surely, you can do that for yourself!”
Meanwhile, Me: “Aha! Easy tiger. OK, I might be an extrovert and naturally enjoy talking to others, but how should I look at this as a service offering? And what do I propose exactly?”-came all the obvious questions of self-doubt and fear to overcome.
MY STRENGTHS IN SERVICE OF OTHERS
For me, the key was not only to make a conscious effort to realize what my strengths are, but also to see them in a different light for better discovery and understanding.
People in my life and even complete strangers come to me and share their stories spontaneously, unexpectedly, willingly. They like to connect to my energy and feel safe to trust me with their topics. My best asset is how I establish and nourish connections. I feel blessed that I have the empathy, the openness, the will to discover their story.
The revelation is identifying your strengths and see how you can best explore them to: resolve an issue; find a solution to a situation; or even change career. Coaching as a methodology offers you the support through this journey.
When creating #awareness what are your strengths that you could reveal and even share with others?
