"I gained more certainty that I am on the right path"

Quick summary

After losing her job and feeling hopeless, Alicia joined the coaching certification to help herself—and discovered her calling. The course gave her the structure, courage, and confidence to launch her freelance coaching career, and seven clients later, she knows she's on the right path.

Personal Development has been a big passion of mine for a long time. I did the Lifebook course from Mindvalley in 2022, which totally changed my life. After that in 2023, I was in Cape Town, lost my job after the company lost funding, and felt lost and hopeless about my professional future. I received an email about the coaching certification and decided to join in an effort to learn tools that would help me on my own journey. Doing the course gave me a lot more than what I asked for. I was not only able to organize my thoughts and bring the structure back to my life, defining and consistently moving towards my own goals, but I also got the courage and motivation I needed to have trust and put myself out there and try the freelance career I always wanted. I always knew I wanted to help people but wasn't sure if I had the required experience or how to do it. The course showed me that we all bring a lot of experience with us from everything that we have lived and that those tools can be invaluable to others in difficult situations. I have coached my first seven clients this month and with each positive feedback, I gained more certainty that I am on the right path. I cannot wait to help more people and to be the best coach I can.
