From a Banker Becomes a Coach

Being a banker for about 16 years was a valuable and unforgettable experience. You know, many things I did and learned there. As a banker, I got many facilities. Not just healthy insurance but also other allowances such as car, house, outing together, free trainings and also career. But, I had to sacrifice the most valuable thing in my life. It was my family time. I had to go to the office early in the morning and back home at night. More than twelve hours each day, I was outside my home. It was hard for me and not in accordance with my passion.

As kids grow up, I realize that I should spare more time with them. Teenagers need their parents especially their mom. They need good friend to share with and to trust on. You will never let your kid choose another to replace yours, right? So, that is the point.

Before resigned, I came to my coach. I shared my problem with him and he guided me to find my passion calling. I want to be like him. Meet people and make them find the best solution for her/his life. A coach is forbidden to give solution. He/She just guides the coachee to find the best solution from himself or herself.

Can you imagine how it is totally different job for me? Many years I always did my work with figures, amounts and assets of others, with daily and monthly reports. But now I have to meet people, discuss a problem, guides him/her and at last I will see the happier smile appears from his/her face. I really like and enjoy it. I have many new friends now and I learn that so many problems are there outside of my life. A new job with new challenges. I love it!
