How it all started...

It all started with my first session of life coaching...

First time I heard anything about life coaching was actually from a good friend of mine who was studying to become a life coach.

I am a person open towards any type of self-development practice so I approached life coaching with an open mind and even a bit of interest, plus my friend who studied life coaching was very happy doing so and I wanted to see what is it.

I tried it out of curiosity, there was nothing I struggled with at that time . Honestly, I did not know what am I suppose to talk to a life coach about.

When my friend offered me the possibility to be her client I went to my first session with an awkward feeling ; yes, I think this life coaching thing might work for some people but I don’t have any big issues in my life, so I felt it might be a waste of time. I did not expect any miracle. ....let’s just say my expectations couldn’t be more wrong , as after my first life coaching session a miracle did happened.

From a person perceiving herself as mediocre, insecure about her career life and believing in limitations rather than achievements I emerged after just one hour, a self confident woman determined to make her dreams become reality. I realize my words might seem a bit fictional but they describe only part of the change that life coaching brought in my life.

You see, I was not a depressed person, living some kind of drama, by contrary, I was happily married living a financial secure everyday life. I managed somehow to live with my fears and insecurities as if they were part of me and I thought it’s something you learn how to peacefully live with, I simply got used to my limitations. The miracle happened when these insecurities were brought to life and by analyzing them closely, they suddenly seemed weak, and vulnerable to my own determination to make them disappear; ….and all this happened through a skillful set of questions asked by my coach in a way that made no sense at the beginning but in the end revealed to me a truth that I live by, ever since.

When I started life coaching I was unemployed and now I am running my own business doing what I love to do ;

And the best thing is that you are not being offered the tool that you need to use, but instead, my life coach is helping me find the right tool within myself….and strange enough it’s always there

This experience was the starting point in the development of the project "Donna Cafe" a project meant to bring positive changes in women lives and to help them live happily and purposefully........to be continued
