Help is here

It took me a while to get here, went through 3 different careers, studied for each, practiced but never found the fulfilment I sought. I struggled to find my purpose because I knew I had more to give.

And then I discovered that the one thing I did so effortlessly was a ‘gift’. I am a good listener, and everywhere I go, I find people find it easy to talk to me and I do listen, not only to hear, but to understand the spoken and unspoken message in every conversation. And so back to school I went and with a lot of studying, learning, and coaching, I could not only listen to people but as a professional I can now listen, understand the pain, the confusion, the worries. I can also share the burden because my life experiences have taught me the value of empathy. More importantly I have found purpose; I am now privileged to walk alongside the most courageous people each day, as we seek answers to life’s challenges.
