N I Consultant
After over a year off due to burnout, I reached out to Wafa because I felt stuck in post-burnout limbo and felt completely lost in my career. Coaching would help me change the beliefs and patterns that had led me down a path of burnout for so long in my career.
Wafa took burnout very seriously and had a very realistic vision of it, meaning that she didn’t put pressure on me to get a job asap like everyone around me did. I felt safe talking about my doubts, I felt validated and reassured that everything was ok and I was doing things right. Wafa knew how to be reassuring and encouraging but also knew when to challenge me out of my comfort zone. During our sessions, she identified the problems more effectively than I could, even with all my introspection.
Our work together allowed me to unlock two main points: 1/ Identify the main drivers that had led me to burnout and 2/ Update my value system and perception of myself so I can make life and career choices that are in line with what I want, not what others think is best for me.
Also, I really appreciated the conversations between the sessions which allowed me to ask questions in between sessions and feel supported in between them. Wafa is super attentive which is important to me. I found it really easy to talk to her. I always felt understood and never judged because she had gone through similar things in her past.
At the end of this coaching, I have a clear understanding of the direction I want to give to my career. At the beginning of our program, I thought I wanted to keep being a consultant or get a job in CSR but then I realised it wasn’t for me. Now, I am confident about my decision to build my own company and keep exploring my creative projects aside. No matter what’s next for me, I feel confident about the future because I now guide myself and make my decisions based on what makes sense for me instead of pleasing others. Also Wafa gave me a lot of super practical tools and tips that I will keep using in the future to help me structure the next steps of my career. Thank you so much Wafa, I definitely recommend your coaching program!
