From Stuck to Forward: Damien’s Story
I knew something was off. I just couldn’t name it — let alone shift it
Damien, an experienced IT professional, shares how coaching helped him unlock momentum, clarity, and courage.
Damien didn’t come to coaching looking for transformation.
He just knew he was circling — and tired of it.
After coaching with me he:
✅ Started a home project he’d been avoiding for 4 years (and finished)
✅ Felt more confident in his decisions — “less second-guessing”
✅ Found space to reflect without pressure or fixing
✅ Uncovered deeper patterns holding him back
✅ Left with more trust in himself — and more energy to act
... and now I am guiding him on becoming more productive at work through creative use of AI for problem solving
Before Coaching
“I felt low-key embarrassed. Not moving forward. Like I was falling behind in a quiet way.”
Damien thought he needed motivation, time management, or accountability.
What he actually needed was permission — to want what he wanted, and to act on it.
In the Sessions
“You weren’t trying to give me answers. You created a space where things surfaced.
Calm, focused sessions helped Damien slow down
He connected dots he hadn’t seen before
Coaching became something he looked forward to — even when it surprised him
What Changed
“It wasn’t dramatic. It was like… suddenly I could move.”
He made progress on the renovation
He stopped postponing decisions
He felt clearer, lighter — and more present in daily life
What He’d Say to Others
“I thought it might confirm that I was the problem. Instead, it helped me see I wasn’t broken — just stuck.”
“If you’re circling the same thing and can’t explain why — this kind of coaching might be exactly what you need.”
