My story. Hmm. Writing my story caused a great deal for me and this was the last
section I completed on the website. Why? There are 2 reasons: I am reluctant to
talk about myself. I am an introvert and observing others while I complete my
internal thinking processes is the way I operate. I value honesty but I am also
very private. I generally want to support others and being vulnerable about my
own struggles is difficult for me as I don’t want to be a burden for others. Or
if I achieve great results, I also tend to stay modest as I don’t want to “show
off”. This behaviour is something I had to work on during my adult years,
however I still carry traits. I also do not like to talk a lot. I always just
say as much as necessary to give the information needed. I am very curious and
insightful, I typically strive to move past appearances and get to the heart of
things. I am reserved and quiet. But not shy. When I communicate, I do that with
warmth and sensitivity. Other times, I speak with passion and conviction. My
personality is reflected greatly during my coaching sessions as I possess
exceptional listening skills, I understand peoples’ true motivations, feelings,
and needs. I pick up key words and I observe my clients through all my senses. I
listened to many great speakers, coaches, mentors, leaders, writers sharing
their stories where they related to their audience and connected their purpose
to their own lives. I admired them and I understood that sharing my own story
can make a huge impact on how I express myself and how I introduce myself to my
audience. I really wanted to select a story that truly aligned with my values
rather than one that offered me status or material gain.
