Becoming a Life Coach: How I Turn Life Experience into Coaching - Lifehack
open to learning and growing, you will gain something from every experience.This is the mindset I had way back then, even though I didn’t realize it. It wasn’t until I looked back at the various life experiences that I saw how each played a role in my success as a coach. One of my favorite quotes is from the late, great Steve Jobs. “You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.” This quote embodies what I have learned along my journey to get to where I am today. It wasn’t always easy, but it was always educational. There were plenty of ups, downs, successes, and most significantly, failures because this is where the majority of my growth came from.Failure is the greatest teacher we have in life, so when it teaches us something, we owe it to our future selves to pay attention and learn. This life journey is also where I acquired numerous stories, lessons, and wisdom that would benefit myself and every other individual I have coached over the years.
