"Who am I?"

When was the last time you asked yourself this question, if ever? I didn't - until recently. I wish I did, and I wish I did when I was much younger because without knowing who I was, I allowed others to define my identity for me, especially in the earlier years of my career - I wanted to fit in even when I knew that what I was doing was misaligned with my values. In fact, I wasn't even sure what my values were. I was enamoured by the glamour that success seemed to offer the people around me. I wanted to be like them, and so I pretended to be like them. It didn’t last, of course. But I still didn't ask the question of who I was; who I really was. Instead, I continued to look outside of myself for direction and validation, often feeling restless and wondering if there was more to life than the one I was living, but not doing anything about it, until I experienced the transformative power of coaching.

 

My journey to become a professional coach has not only given me greater clarity about who I am but also led me to the realisation that whether we have aspirations to enjoy more fulfilling lives, build healthier relationships, or become better leaders, we can achieve all of that by reconnecting with our authentic, higher self - the core of our well-being and potential. 

 

And so, I started Authentic You, a training and coaching practice committed to the mission of 'Real You. Real Purpose. Real Impact', and I invite you join me on this journey towards achieving your personal and professional aspirations by asking yourself this same question - who am I?

 

Authentically yours, 

Annie
