What Not To Leave Your Job For

I’m a certified Integral Master Coach™ working with caring, hard-working people struggling with career satisfaction and a sense of meaning in their jobs and vocations.
I work with:
Before I hired a coach, I wanted to be more assertive in my professional career. I was tired of getting in my own way: In my head I would create these imaginary scenarios of what might happen if I stood up for myself that kept me from actually standing up for myself. As I began to use the practices Michael created for me, I started being more assertive and creating my own path, I immediately started to see the positive effects at work. This ultimately lead to me getting a better role in a different organization. I feel empowered to take on my next challenge and certain that I can handle everything my new role will challenge me with.

At the start of our coaching program, I was feeling disengaged at work and in my personal relationships; with my husband and even with my kids. I was very caught up in my own negative thoughts and they held me back from being fully present in my daily life. I considered coaching because it felt like more of a way to actually DO something about my struggles rather than just talk about and discover them. I liked the idea of the practices and reflections to do a bit of a “deeper dive” into understanding myself.
Professionally, I have become more engaged at work. I was recently asked to assist a Geriatrician on our team at his weekly clinics for seniors. In the past, I would have felt somewhat incapable of doing a good job at this, but now I am in a more gentle space where I know I am capable and it’s okay if there is a bit of a learning curve. I’ve also noticed that I put less pressure on myself about being a certain way that a “good mom” or “good wife” would be. I do my best and I try to let that be enough. This creates space for me to more deeply enjoy experiences with my children and family and what I have to bring to them.

Working with Michael was not what I had expected, but was what I needed. Michael is lovely and I immediately felt relaxed with him as we chatted about what I was wanting to achieve, and the methods I could use to approach this. He took his time, was very generous with his information, and put me onto a few things that I know will be useful in the coming years. There was no shying away from the truth with Michael, and I respect him more for this, but his gentle manner and intuitive approach had a profound impact on me. I’m very much looking forward to working with Michael again.

I work with people looking to advance within their jobs, people looking to leave their jobs, and people who aren’t quite sure which would be the better path for them at this time.
