If you’ve landed here, it’s probably because you are looking to make a change – and I know all about change. You see, I’ve done the high flying corporate job… and I’ve also lived through some dramatic changes myself…
I really do. I love everything about life. I enjoy the thrill I get from riding my motorbike through the country lanes on a weekend. Every chance I get, I’ll try something new and exciting (scuba diving was definitely one to remember!). I also know how important it is to slow down, and I enjoy walking, cycling, swimming, and gardening. I didn’t always have the time for the life I wanted though.
Working a corporate job and living in the city gets old fast, and being Superwoman can’t last forever. When I struggled to conceive with my husband, it made me reconsider a lot of things about my life. When our first cycle of IVF was successful, I was elated and promptly fell in love with my unborn daughter.
The thing about pregnancy and motherhood, is that nobody tells you how much your identity changes when you are responsible for someone other than yourself, and you have this tiny being that relies entirely upon you for nourishment, care, advocacy and more. She needed me, and the shift from Tracey to Mum was initially a tough one. I sought counselling to help me through. After my counselling, I began to rebuild. As a family, switched lanes, got out of the city and my husband, daughter and I moved out into the countryside, where we now have a 20 acre farm, with a herd of beautiful Wiltshire Horn sheep. It doesn’t get much better than lambing season, bottle feeding all the babies, and we are also cultivating our own orchard which I’m really enjoying.
It was the support and clarity I got from my counsellor that made me understand the value of having someone on your side to help you when things are hard. This is when I became interested in the value of coaching, and decided to train as a transformational life coach. Given that I’ve experienced change, I knew I was able to help others through their changes, and my mind was set – this is who I wanted to be. Mother, wife, lover of life, and a transformational life coach.
Transformational coaching is similar to life coaching. It involves supporting people through making necessary changes. Where life coaching tends to focus on encouraging change in the way a person acts, transformational life coaching involves a deeper level of coaching, encouraging clients to reflect on themselves and then changing the way they see themselves in the context of their lives.
One of Many™ are the fastest growing women’s leadership community in the UK, a community which is growing rapidly across the world to meet the need for women in leadership roles. The main focus of One of Many™ is women and encouraging growth using their three pillars of Community, Education and Coaching.
I chose to do my coaching certification with them because their message resonates – we cannot be Superwoman, but by embracing each of the 5 PowerTypes™, we can unleash a power from inside us that has been untapped thus far.
If you answered yes to any of these questions, coaching is for you.
Everyone is different, which is what makes us all beautiful and uniquely valuable. We are at a point in history where paradigms are shifting – and we need to be ready for what comes next. It is our responsibility to create the world we want for ourselves, for our children, and for every woman in years to come.
