What’s up, fam?! Welcome back 🙂
I briefly mentioned this in my last post, but in case you missed it, I’m currently in training for Mindvalley‘s Certified Life Coach! With that said, I’d like to introduce myself as your new Life Coach!! 😀
What is a Life Coach?
Simply put, a life coach is a trained professional who helps individuals reach their goals and overcome challenges. We help clients develop action plans to achieve their desired outcomes and provide support to keep them on track and accountable. (Don’t worry, I’ll answer this question in more detail in a future post!)
I’ve always been a natural Life Coach. Growing up, my friends always came to me with their problems. Acquaintances appreciated whatever insights I gave. Even now, complete strangers will open up to me and share their stories, while I sit back and actually listen to them, with genuine care and curiosity.
It’s no surprise, though! Based on the Enneagram, a personality typing system, I’m a 2, also known as The Helper. This means I like to help people! (If you couldn’t guess that from the name lol.)
Here’s a brief description from The Enneagram Institute:
Twos are empathetic, sincere, and warm-hearted. They are friendly, generous, and self-sacrificing, but can also be sentimental, flattering, and people-pleasing. They are well-meaning and driven to be close to others, but can slip into doing things for others in order to be needed. They typically have problems with possessiveness and with acknowledging their own needs. At their Best: unselfish and altruistic, they have unconditional love for others.
So I’m not without my flaws! That said, I do possess certain key traits that are well-suited for life coaching. I’m empathetic and sincere. I’m generous with my time and attention. I enjoy meeting people and making friends. And perhaps most importantly, I see the very best in others. This is absolutely critical. Coaches must have the core belief that each individual is already whole, capable, resourceful, creative, and unique. Our role is to simply help you wake up to this truth and unleash your true power!
Passions Assemble!
Honestly, I feel so aligned with this decision to be a life coach! Much of my background and many of my existing passions go hand-in-hand with coaching. Personal Development. Psychology. Spirituality. Relationships. Content Creation. Being authentic. Living life on YOUR terms. I’ve been reading, listening, and studying this stuff for a veeery long time lol. And I’ve actually considered this career path for a while now, but due to certain limiting beliefs, I put this dream on the shelf. I thought I couldn’t pursue coaching until much later in life. Now it seems it’s all coming together. Now it feels like I’m embarking on a new adventure. And I’m so freakin’ excited! I just have a really good feeling about this 🙂
I’ll continue to share my progress with y’all as the months roll by. I have very specific goals in mind, but I’ll keep those to myself for now. If you have any questions, please ask! If you have any words of encouragement, please send ’em my way!
And if you’re in the market for a life coach, please consider me! I’m confident that we’ll have some fun learning and growing together <3
Your Coach,
Christian Quiwa <3
P.S. I’m still going to make music, write blogs, share vlogs, and everything else a budding content creator does. Now we’re just throwing in some coaching content to spice things up!
