My conversations with these women, made me really question my objectives and mission statement as a transformational strategist. These conversations were powerful and instrumental in supporting my clarification of my aims, objectives and outcomes.
I understand the fact that many women in transition might go to a business coach, as was suggested. However, my rebuttal and disclaimer, was that although transition and transformation in the life of a 30-50 something female professional might mean a transition into running her own business, hence the need for a business coach. This was not an imperative, the 30s-50s is one of the busy times of a woman's life, hence I feel that a woman may go through innumerable changes during this timeframe. Any of these major shifts in our lifestyles could become a focal point of transition such as parenthood, loss of a child, purchasing a home, becoming more heart centred, returning to education, redundancy and empty nest syndrome.
Moreover, if any of these factors meant that a woman let's call her "Naomi" was in transition and knew that she was no longer happy with the life she was living, she knew she needed to enact some major shifts in her life and do something different, to become who she felt she really was. Would she turn to a business coach or a transformational strategist , what do you think?
Do you ever wonder when you fell out of love with your career? Well, I help women who have fallen out of love with their career? Or do you ever wonder when your life or educational achievements failed to reflect yours aspirations? Well I help women create the life they aspire to.
When I decided to leave the teaching profession after a decade of being a teacher, I used a life coach and she supported me in reconnecting with who I really was again, as within education one can sometimes experience a sense of loss of self and identity, as your self-concept becomes embedded in the role of a teacher, the same can also be said for working in the NHS or the public sector.
My life coach assisted me in assessing and clarifying what my next steps were. It was phenomenal, she changed my life, the fact that I had trained as a life coached three years previously and had read various self-development books, was also useful a useful bonus. Had a transformational strategist existed back then, I am sure I would have used one. The same can be applied to my transition from private tuition to a transformational strategist I used a creative coach to assist me in my transition.
When we embark on a new journey, we may need support as we transition and transform, this may take the role of a strategist, consultant or accountability partner and a transformational strategist includes all these roles, it is about supporting you, encouraging and assisting you on your journey of transformation because you are phenomenal and deserve to live your best life and is just waiting for you to start your journey.
Be blessed to be a blessing!
