THE VALUE OF COACHING
"...To have
a coach who held me to what I deemed my highest, got me to think
about and make efforts towards behavioral shifts...sometimes the
quietest of gestures in this direction, with Yesenia's guidance,
helped me (re)align and/or reinforce my life. Yesenia's
extensive work with artists and the arts nonprofit sector also
reinforced her ability to keep creativity and generative action at
the heart of our work together, which was so important for me as an
artist." -S.C.
"At
first I was a bit doubtful of the coaching process, not exactly sure
how it differed from therapy or consulting, but as I began the
process it felt holistic and I began to see the tangible benefits of
mission-driven choice making. Coaching has helped me identify
personal and professional goals and develop a framework towards
achieving them. My long-term takeaway is to be more gentle with
myself and understand my personal development as a process."
-I.Z.
"Coaching
is the best way to step outside of yourself and really evaluate your
patterns, strengths, and weaknesses without feeling intimidated-I
felt so comfortable and was not afraid of any judgment. I think it is
really important to build a solid relationship with your coach. I
found making the commitment to myself, not just to the meeting time
or my coach, made it more exciting and a better learning experience.
It was also great that we were able to step away from my original
goals and we discovered new and more important goals the more we
worked together." -A.P.
