STORIES OF PROGRESS

01
Angela, Product Market Analyst

Rewriting the internal narrative

“Through coaching, I've developed a deeper, richer, and more compassionate understanding of myself. Those learnings have changed how I approach challenges, how I show up and move through different emotions, and how I prioritize balance in my life. Ultimately, it's led me to rewrite the internal narrative I speak about myself. Growth is a choice, and it happens when I actively move into the uncharted, uncomfortable things. Coaching has shown me that I feel the most myself when I'm being brave. I'll continue to practice this as I move forward.”

Frank, School Principal

Embracing the power of clarity

“The most impactful part of coaching for me was discussing practical tools and ideas for showing up, rumbling with vulnerability, and embracing the suck. I have often avoided hard conversations, so the phrase "clear is kind and unclear is unkind" has been the golden thread throughout this work for me. It is hard to pick a specific piece, but I think this would be it.”

Making lasting progress on big issues

“A sincere and heartfelt thank you to you and the entire Earnest Journey team for engaging with us in collaborative design and for creating a memorable, productive virtual design session. None of us knew exactly what this would look like, but I think the sponsor team’s reflections of gratitude at the conclusion of the last meeting spoke volumes about our appreciation for the process. It was hard, but we got there and that is all attributable to your leadership.”
