Coaching is a journey, Not a destination... I've just begun my journey to become a professional coach!

Reflect on the initial 4-day classroom training in early April, it was a very demanding 4 days over my mental and physical state.

For the new knowledge and skills I learnt, my very logical thinking mode is being challenged. There are many things need to be un-learnt and re-learnt. Need to consciously aware of my thinking process at the back of the my mind if I want to be a good coach to help my client by active listening and making powerful enquiry.

For my own sense of being and confidence level, I also felt challenged during that 4 days training. Most of my fellow cohort they are average at least 5 to 10 years more experienced than me in their corporate life or they are entrepreneur who own their own companies. I feel I am a bit too junior compare to their experience and worried I could not bring as much as insights they could contribute in the training.

Apart from the sense of seniority, I also felt physically challenged on my presence in the class, as I am quite small in size, I didn't wear heels, I looked very small physically compare to most of my fellow cohort who are at least one head taller than me.

I felt uneasy during the second and third day of training, but on the last day, my confidence level and self-esteem restored. It was a valuable experience to go through such internal struggles to make myself a stronger person for tomorrow.
