Personal Narrative: Mindset Mentor

Improved Essays
I’m a Transformational Coach, but you also might call me a Mindset Mentor, Holistic Wellbeing Expert, Mind-Body-Spirit Mentor. I received my Master’s degree in Human Resource Management and had a successful career in demanding HR positions. Coaching and mentoring others has always been my strong passion, already in those days.

I loved my job and wanted always to deliver the best. Being responsible and driven, I ended up giving too much for my job, I “worked in my head” even when I was out of work and work did not feel fun anymore. I was gradually wearing myself out. I used to think that striving, being able to handle pressure and learning how to handle chronic stress were something you just need to live with in order to be successful, and

And then it happened. Not a burnout, but a deep personal crisis. I believe that life has its ways to stop us when we are going too fast or to a wrong direction and do not see things clearly. Life calls us to change in a form of any crisis, disease, or lost.

I needed to crash and burn in order to find out what life is all about. I know now that not everyone must go through it the hard way. It’s not necessary to live in a constant feeling of pressure and stress and let the work rule your life. I want to help you to wake up to a new life before you hit the wall! You can do life completely differently, without compromising anything in your life and still be successful. And this is not to say that life will not continue having its ups and downs. It will, that’s the nature of it, but your experience of your life events will change when your relationship to your own thinking changes. That makes all the difference!

I’ve always been a fun-loving person and now more than ever. I want to help you to enjoy life again every day, not just during weekends or holidays, by understanding how our experience of life comes from within, not from circumstances. The missing link that we don’t see is THOUGHT, causing our feelings and experiences.

    Everyone can say that they always imagined or wanted to look up to someone whether if the person was famous or related to them.

    For the majority of my professional life I worked primarily in the private sector; consequently, I have very minimal professional experience in the public sector. While rummaging through various documents, searching for material required for the completion of this analysis, I recognized that there are overlapping and recurring themes which clearly point to who I am as a professional and, thus, the direction in which my professional life should proceed, public service. Therefore, my professional mission statement is, “To vigorously perform my responsibilities as a public administrator and to enhance the quality of public service by providing my clients with dedication, honesty and a commitment to make the best interest of all, my first priority.”…

    An experience that displayed my ability to mentor was during my time helping out at Columbus Elementary School. There was one boy named Presley and he had trouble focusing, so I often ended up at his table trying to draw his attention away from his peers and towards his work. He was struggling with math, subtraction specifically and heavily relied on finger counting to do any problem. After about two weeks doing number lines and tally marks, he greatly improved and no longer needed any help for simpler subtraction.…

    There is a mindset you need to have when you're tagging up on third during a fly ball. You know, when the games tied and coach is telling you to get home. You watch until the ball is caught and you take off. You have to keep your head towards home plate. If you look back for one second, if you doubt that you're going to make it home for one second, that outfielder is going to throw you down and you will be out.…

    When I began Energy Express, I thought my role would be improving children's reading skills and helping them cultivate a passion for reading. However, throughout my summer of service I learned that the role of an Energy Express mentor is much greater. To mentor a child is to shape their personality and future, it is to help them grow to love learning and also to love themselves, it is to offer them hope and love since many children in this area struggle within untraditional family structures, and it is to teach them their potential is endless. Therefore, my three goals would be: cultivate a love for readnig through hands-on activities, provide a support, fun, and active enviroment that welcomes and comforts all children, and to build lasting, stable friendships among the children I mentor.…

    After reading “Work” by Denis Johnson I was confused on what the story was talking about until I noticed the story was telling us that in our life we are going to have good days and bad days. When we notice that something in our life is not going as the plan we have to evaluate our lives in order to fix it. My mother always told me how in life if I want something I should work hard for it because no one is going to give me anything if I don't work hard for it. I loved how she told me at a young age how to be successful you have to fight for what you believe in. That's why I am enrolled in college today because I believe that in order be successful I need to get my education.…
