REFLECTION - STORYTELLING 

 Challenge and Selection : 

 I am a Life Coach and certified in Relationship coaching . I started coaching since the days no one had a   clue about what Coaching was , apart from the students ’ coaching classes for studies or sports . It used to   be very difficult to make people understand what it actually is . In order to make them not just know   what it is but also in some way what Coaching could do to and for them , I started using Storytelling tool   of Design Thinking . 

 My target audience , in the initial day , were women who have been away from home for various reasons   and have their own challenges to work around . They were women who were no more sure of their   capabilities and were lacking confidence and self - esteem . In order to help them in any way , they had to   be ‘ opened up ’ and given assurance that this is a safe container and they can trust this process . 

 Fortunately I had my own story to share , to begin with , which was starting from B.Sc Maths to Masters   in Computer Science to now being a certified Life Coach . I had so much to share in terms of what I   became and how I transformed with every change in my life . 

 The women I was working with were skeptical to any change in their life , even if for their good . They had   not seen life in any other way than just the way how it was moving forward . 

 During my certification I had done some sessions as a part of the course and there I saw some amazing   results . Those stories were shared to make people know about coaching and also motivate them to see   it in a different light for them to take the 1st step towards their bright future . 

 When shared those stories , with full anonymity , one related to them and started sharing some bit of   theirs and also gained confidence in the process . 

 Application : 

 I was mostly inclined towards women during the start of my Coaching career as they were my reflection   too . I was coming out of my 5 years of sabbatical and exactly knew the fears I went through when I got   back . 

 I used my story and another very favourite transition story to tell people how one can explore their   fullest potential by just having some honest conversations with a coach . The Coach does not make you   change anything or does not tell you what to do but only helps you to introspect and get to know   yourself and needs better . 

 I shared my story from being in the peak of my Digitial Marketing career when I became a mom and how   I took a back seat to take care of my child and then did not loose hope to get back to work . I explored   my need better by going through a Coaching session and realized Coaching was my calling . I studied to   be more authentic in this field and got a certificate to carry my practice . It has been 4 years since I   changed my career and not one day I have regretted . Doing what I like doing has helped me improve the   quality of my family interactions and bond too . 

 Insight & Approach : 

 My story did comfort the women around that I am not only coaching them but I have also walked the   talk in my own life too . 

 With this I witnessed women opening to me easily and they had less apprehensions of being judged or   ending up wasting their time . 

 Some wanted to know more about my life and how I got the confidence at such an age to start from   scratch and also pursue it with passion as a career . I attracted women going through the same situation ;   taken sabbatical and want to do something more meaningful this time when they go back to work . 

 I had another brilliant story to share which was such an eye - opener for me too . 

 One Coachee had come to me for coaching because of a break - up . She was not in a good emotional   state . We had a few sessions where she expressed a lot and we moved from one goal to the other in the   process of Coaching for 6 months . 

 The transitions we went through from our 1st sessions to the end were just brilliant . 

 Break - up to wanting to do something else than the Content writer she was , to make - artist to hair - stylist   to free lancer fashion consultant to now a certified and successful Yoga instructor ! 

 This story had made a great impression on people , of how Coaching can be used to explore your highest   potential . 

 I realized that my story and this favourite one of mine has impacted a lot of coaches of mine in the right   way ; made them open up , have confidence in themselves and also strive to reach different heights . 

 This   tool surely is my favourite has it has helped me in educating people about Coaching in a more   authentic and trustful way . 

 I am so grateful to it and make a point to use this tool to touch people genuinely and deeply 

 -A Coach ’s attempt always !
