Helping others help “themselves” is in my opinion, a prerequisite for living a life of service. We are born to inspire, empower, motivate and learn from each other. What better way to live a life of fulfillment than to be a personal advocate of positive well- being. The passion of helping others help themselves has always been a part of my journey. Only recently has it come to light that I can pursue this passion in more ways then one. Over a year ago I participated in a coaching seminar through SHRM, and have been using the techniques I learned every day in my role as an HR professional. I find excitement guiding people through questions and insights to allow them to come up with their own ideas and assist them in pursuit of accomplishment. This realization allowed me to strike a conversation with a dear friend who currently attends MUIH. It was her that suggested I look through the MUIH website to seek options. I stumbled upon the MA of Health and Wellness Coaching, and I thought to myself, this is the path I had been looking for.
As a working woman of almost 17 years, I have been in situations where giving up felt like the only way out. Living a balance of work and life is a daily struggle at times and with our current economic state is only twice as hard. Pursuit of a coaching degree will give me the tools I need to effectively, passionately and professionally provide services to employees who live with the same struggles I have. It’s not easy being knowledgeable, honest and human. Our minds wrap us in webs of lies and turmoil only to end in defeat of our own Being. Professionally I have a goal to offer support and resources to the working men and women who truly want to be a value to not only their work but also to themselves.
I’ve been known as the external processor. I tend to answer my own questions and find advocacy through my own struggles. We as humans tend to learn through experience rather than words. Our earth and society is ever changing and it’s a blessing to be in the midst of change as it teaches us new beginnings and allows us to lay rest to the past. I tend to be very coachable in all areas of life. I recently completed an 8-week Awakenings course through the Inspiration School of Consciousness. Through practice and praise was I able to find my voice, my purpose and to become awakened. Being open-minded is crucial to my existence and has offered me a life of many open doors. It’s my job to walk over the threshold.
In my Human Resources experience I feel as though I gain increased exposure and training everyday through my relations with the staff, my co-workers and the Executive team. In working in this field I have learned much about myself and my fellows with regard to communication and presence. While working with the human population and their day to day struggles and triumphs, I’ve learned that the world of coaching and well-being is ever growing. I myself have gone through several counseling sessions, both talk and breathing focused to increase my overall understanding of myself and the way I present to the world. It has been an amazing journey and I’ve grown very rich in awareness and understanding of the struggles we have and how to help myself as well as others overcome these hurdles.
It is through giving that we receive.
