“For me the coaching sessions felt therapeutic. It helped me offload some things and gave me the opportunity to tell things to someone from the outside who didn’t know me. It was easier to open up.
My coach would ask me questions to probe me and to have conversations that I needed to get off my chest. I was holding it in for so long. Coaching felt good, much better. My head had been all over the place and I wanted to get my head right. I had so much stress going on and I didn’t talk to anyone about it.
During coaching we spoke about family, how to be there for my little ones, what I want to do when I get out and more. We also spoke about opening a business as I want to be a barber. The Hero’s Journey™ has helped me to focus more on my goals and to make my goals clearer. So, I now know what I want. I now think more about things before making decisions.
Where I feel coaching helps because you’re not being given the answers but asked questions to find the answers yourself. The Hero’s Journey™ has made me more determined to go for my goals. It has changed my thought process as before it was irrational and now it is a more well thought out process.”
