A veces, el camino hacia la plenitud es incierto; un gigantesco y aterrador "y si..." que nos aleja de caminos conocidos, pero que también puede conducirnos a nuevas y apasionantes carreras. Para Carly (apellido omitido por motivos de privacidad de sus clientes), dejar su trabajo corporativo no fue sólo un cambio de lugar de trabajo, sino una transformación en su forma de vivir y en lo que valora. Tras graduarse en Coaching Out of the Box, Carly cambió a una gratificante carrera de coaching que ha tenido un gran impacto en su vida. Su experiencia es una inspiración para todos los que alguna vez se han preguntado si vale la pena dar el salto.

Discovering Her Passion

Carly’s corporate success was undeniable, yet deep down, she felt a profound misalignment with her true passion: helping others. Despite her career achievements, Carly grappled with stress and a growing inner sense of unfulfillment. When a friend recommended the Fast Track to ICF Credential program, everything shifted.
Reflecting on her journey, Carly remarks, “Coaching was unfamiliar territory for me, but as I researched its impact, I realized it was exactly what I had been searching for.” The Fast Track program wasn’t merely a gateway to coaching skills; it presented an entirely new professional perspective that piqued Carly’s interest.

Embracing Coaching

After successfully receiving her ICF certification through the program, Carly eagerly began her coaching career. Transitioning from the complex corporate world into a role that allowed her to help others grow personally and professionally on a more intimate and focused level was a breath of fresh air. Coaching offers Carly flexibility to work how, when, and with whom she wants. Ultimately, the agency over her own life that coaching has provided, along with the difference she’s making in her clients’ lives, gives Carly a newfound sense of fulfillment and joy.

The Power of Empathy in Coaching

Thanks to her previous experience in the corporate world, Carly brings helpful insight to her current coaching practice to guide her clients within that sector. Her empathetic approach creates a safe and supportive environment in which her clients feel seen and understood to gain the tools they need to succeed in their goals.
Carly also incorporates personal satisfaction and growth into her clients’ coaching; the very same things that sparked her own career change. From young people just entering the workforce to experienced business owners and even retirees looking to reshape their lives with purpose, Carly’s mix of personal and professional insights create an appealing method that works across disciplines and age groups—an inspiring takeaway for anyone thinking about a career in coaching: Everyone’s journey is unique and has the potential to support others in theirs!

Carly’s Vision for the Future

For Carly, coaching is more than a job—it’s a calling that brings her personal growth and satisfaction, especially as she sees her clients succeed. She looks forward to deepening her skills and helping even more people.
