“I have spent all my 15 years+ career working in Energy Trading. I’m a strong, driven and independent woman, not afraid to compete with men in a male dominated environment. When I met Rebecca, I was stuck by some of my negative behaviours which were altering peoples’ perception of me, my career progression and my happiness! I constantly had frustrations and negative reactions which only fed more frustrations. It was a pattern and I knew I wanted to work on myself and become a better person and to become happier at work. With Rebecca, I looked at behaviours that were negative or limiting and in which contexts I was adopting them. This was very insightful. Then we looked at the future and how I could break these negative cycles, by using some of my strengths and making myself more approachable. I worked to include my soft skills during my day to day working life and not just rely on my technical knowledge and skills. We also explored what ‘success’ meant for me and what I would need to change in order not to repeat the same mistakes.
After my work with Rebecca, I am a lot more aware of my environment and my relationships at work have become more balanced. Overall, I’m more peaceful and can let go much more on things that used to bother me. I’m a softer, more approachable leader at work. I’m a better manager of people, use my softer skills more effectively, I’m very happy at work and don’t get into the negative cycles anymore. I regularly read my notes and refresh my self-awareness and keep Rebecca in the loop too because I think she has contributed very much to these improvements.”
