I was able to commit to the certification full-time because of my specific circumstances, and I can honestly say that it has pivoted my career in a direction I had been intending for several months, but had not yet known exactly how to direct. I have always wanted to be in a position where I could share wisdom, knowledge, advice, and support people through transitions or moments where they need more clarity in different aspects of their lives. My deeper intention has always been to help people become the best version of themselves.
The certification gave me a contained environment — almost like a playground — where I could practise this with many different people who were open, interested, and receptive. That experience empowered me to see the qualities and capabilities I have to support others in this way, while also giving me specific tools to begin implementing it professionally.
Around halfway through the certification, or slightly after that, I realised that I wanted to fully focus on coaching. I was receiving very positive feedback from coachees, and I had already started getting paid clients before finishing the certification. That was a key moment for me because it showed me that this was not only meaningful, but also something I could realistically build into a business. It is important to note, nevertheless, that I have an extensive background in personal-development practices, and a business major.
I also want to express how much I appreciate Mindvalley as a platform. I think the community being built is incredible. I have followed Vishen for several years, listened to many of his meditations, read some of his books, and had even paid for a Mindvalley subscription before. However, I had not been able to fully appreciate the impact that Mindvalley could have in my life until I fully committed to the certification and the platform.
Since then, I genuinely feel that my life has changed radically in ways that I had intended, but did not expect to be accelerated so much. One of my core life purposes has been to contribute to creating a new culture: one focused on developing more empathetic, intuitive, and compassionate human beings operating in a system based on abundance. I had been thinking about this for many years, and when I immersed myself deeply in Mindvalley, I realised that this is something the Mindvalley team is already creating.
That resonated enormously with my life vision, and it has been very inspiring to feel part of that movement as a Mindvalley Certified Life Coach. I intend to continue supporting the Mindvalley culture as much as I can, through events, continued learning, and by staying connected to the teachers and community that are part of Mindvalley. Deep down, I would genuinely love to be part of the Mindvalley team at some point in life.
