Following a corporate restructure during COVID, I embarked on a career shifting journey with Sjeanne who made a difficult crossroad in my career both exciting and impactful. As a junior member in a new team, I depended on a number of team members. Through the restructure, all the seniors that I directly worked with ended up resigning in a very short space of time. These were team members who gave me guidance and support and their departure left me feeling exposed and vulnerable and thus I kept reverting to playing a smaller and safer role, risking regression or stagnation. I felt I had to start the coaching journey to fast track my growth and get out of my safe bubble.
I’m amazed by how well she helped me find my Aha moments where I could gain confidence and assurance that I possessed a bigger purpose and capability. She used tools that helped me think out the box, show up with a strong presence and confidently take quantum leap decisions and I started to make a more meaningful impact in my role. Taking control of my career convinced those around me to entrust me with more responsibilities as they visibly saw results of my work and the way internal and external stakeholders were responding positively to my new found confidence.
Since working with Sjeanne, I’ve been appointed into a lead role, surpassing more experienced team members and I’ve had the courage to boldly lead myself and a number of teams successfully. I will forever be grateful for the coaching Sjeanne provided and her dedication to pushing me to surpass my goals. – Investment banking Senior Deal Maker, C. Aluniewa
