Case Studies
Troubled Pediatrician
Working with Mary, a US based pediatrician was a valuable experience for me. Mary was struggling with various financial issues and had trouble with procrastination. Additionally, she faced responsibilities; both personal and professional that left her feeling overwhelmed and unable to manage her essential tasks.
During our coaching sessions we have developed great rapport that allowed her to share her struggles and vulnerabilities. Together, we explored the root causes of her financial problems and came up with effective strategies to improve her budgeting and financial planning skills.
We created an action plan and set small tasks. We also delved into various coping mechanisms to help Mary deal with her feelings of being overwhelmed.
Seeing Mary’s progress was incredibly fulfilling for me. Her determination was truly inspiring, and I felt privileged to have played even a small part in her journey towards a more fulfilling and enriched life.
