I wasn't sure what to expect going into my first coaching experience, but before working with Ife, I was feeling close to burnout. I have a lot of passion and drive for my work in my current organization, but it's a small team and I was finding it difficult to manage the workload. I didn't know how to say no or how to advocate for myself. I thought I was constantly drowning in tasks and didn't believe in the experience or knowledge I have. Working with Ife changed everything. Each session shifted part of the way I approach my work, career, and relationships, as well as how I view myself. We assessed my saboteur traits, talked about my strengths, and debriefed my TKI results. Ife consistently asked challenging questions, followed up with useful frameworks, and gave me the tools to develop a vision for myself as a leader. I came away from three months of coaching with a full toolkit, leadership vision, development and accountability plan, and a promotion after I successfully advocated for myself! My confidence and faith in myself will only bring more opportunities, and I cannot recommend Ife enough as a coach, especially for other early and mid-career professionals and emerging leaders.
