At the start of our coaching partnership, Victoria identified herself as a Revolutionary — a balance-seeking professional.
Like many driven individuals I've had the pleasure of working with, Victoria was facing uncertainty about her next career move, struggling to find work-life balance, and feeling a lack of fulfillment in her day-to-day work.
These challenges can weigh heavily on anyone's mind, but for Victoria, the desire for change and balance was strong.
Victoria Before Coaching: "I wondered if I really needed the help."
Victoria’s main hesitation about hiring me as her coach wasn’t uncommon: “Just the investment,” she shared.
She, like many others, questioned whether she could work through her struggles on her own. “I wondered if I really needed the help,” she said.
It’s easy to feel like you should figure everything out on your own, but often, the real growth begins when we invest in the right kind of support.
Victoria During & After Coaching: "I have the tools to get me through."
Looking back, Victoria knows exactly where she’d be if she hadn’t made that leap of faith. “I would be in the same position I’m in. Just a lot less fulfilled, confident, and willing to take on a new challenge.”
Without the guidance and tools she gained from our coaching sessions, she wouldn’t have the confidence she now feels in facing new challenges head-on.
While our work together focused on resolving her career-related problems, Victoria acknowledged that not everything is “set in stone” just yet. But what’s different now?
“I know I have the tools (and Ali’s number!) to get me through whatever my future holds."
One of the most exciting results Victoria experienced was seeing measurable growth.
“A lot of my fulfillment scores went up by 2+ points, and I was really happy with that,” she said, referring to the progress we tracked throughout her journey. Even the areas that didn’t see an increase stayed steady, despite the hurdles she encountered over our year-long partnership.
So for those wondering if career coaching is worth the investment, Victoria’s words hold significant weight:
“I recommend Ali to anyone who is struggling with work or life, or the balance of both. She’s helped me through all these challenges, and I’ve learned how to handle them. It’s so rewarding to go back, look at my progress, and see the growth.”
Victoria’s journey is a testament to the power of investing in yourself and embracing the support you need. Whether you’re stuck in a career rut, looking for a better work-life balance, or just trying to gain clarity, career coaching can provide the tools and insights to move forward with confidence.
