    502. Learning how to stop feeling behind transformed my career

    I’m running a free training soon called How to Stop Feeling Behind. (Register here: https://forms.gle/fFDKBMHo8YzV6x94A) And it got me thinking about my own journey around these topics. I hired my very first one-one-coach in order to stop feeling behind and be more productive. And what I learned in that coaching engagement didn’t just make me more efficient and productive and on top of things. It also completely transformed my career. It showed me how I was holding myself back in ways I didn’t even realize… It unlocked the next step and next level of my career… And led to me walking away from a stable corporate career and launching my coaching practice with 100% confidence. How? I tell you the whole story in this week's podcast episode :) So listen in, and make sure to register for my free training, How to Stop Feeling Behind! https://forms.gle/fFDKBMHo8YzV6x94A

There's such a wide range of things that I struggled with over the course of our coaching, from tough pregnancy symptoms to complicated family dynamics to complicated work dynamics. There were moments where I brought things up to her thinking ‘Pooja's probably going to tell me to go call a family therapist or whatever.’ But her process worked for all of these different situations and totally applied every single time.  There was never something I brought to her where I felt like the guidance she was giving me didn't apply or wasn't effective.” —Client | Head of Business Development at MedTech Company Read client testimonials: https://poojavcoaching.com/testimonials-page
