Are you inspired by the work that you do, excited to get up in the morning to do it? If so, stop reading and keep on keepin' on! wink emoticon If not, I urge you to continue.
5 years ago today I was the commencement speaker at my law school graduation. I was bound and determined to land a high paying, highly touted position at some prestigious law firm. I knew what I wanted and went after it.
I was excited about and thankful for the job I landed. But as time wore on, the job wore on me. More billable hours, more stress, more conflict, more bad habits, more, more, more. I had the job I wanted, lived where I wanted to live, belonged to a fancy gym, had nice things, and yet I was not happy. Why you ask? Because in reality, I had just built myself a 5 star prison.
I wanted out. I wanted to do something that inspired others, something that made me jump out of bed in the morning, something that made a difference in people's lives (mine and others)!
That's when I found coaching, or rather, it found me. Coaching helped me break free of the prison I had built for myself. Now I work in my PJs on my OWN schedule, travel for free, get paid to workout and read books, and engage with a team of people with the same mission: improve lives. I get to help people every single day. This is what coaching has done for me, what could it do for you?
