“We ended up uncovering much more than I'd expected."

​

I've been working in data for fast-paced start-ups over the last few years, and I'm currently taking a break to work out what I want to do next. My career has been taking up a lot of my headspace in the past few years, and I was feeling stagnated and unsure how or where to grow.

​

The sessions started very self-directed, but with really useful questions and exercises to get to the root of the problem. We ended up uncovering much more than I'd expected. While I went in with more specific career-related things I was struggling with, through the process, I realised that investing all my energy and focus into my career wasn’t giving me the fulfilment I'd hoped for or expected. Moving forward, I've realised that putting all my focus on my career actually doesn’t help me achieve the success or happiness I’m looking for. I feel like I'm coming away from the sessions with much more clarity, rather than being stuck in the weeds.

My advice for other women going into coaching with Emma would be to be open and honest, trust the process, and let the sessions go where they need to go.
