Empowered to Empower: My ICF ACC Journey

This past weekend, while driving back from a getaway, I found myself on a serene stretch of road — flanked by green fields and trees, the kind that felt like a “Road Less Travelled.”

That moment mirrored my own journey — through unknown days and nights, flowing with life, until one path led me to Coaching. What once felt like a distant dream has now become a lived reality. 

🌟 I’m grateful, humbled, and proud to share a defining moment: receiving my Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential from the International Coaching Federation

This milestone is not just a certification — it’s the beginning of a new chapter. A journey of transformation, for myself and for every individual I meet… one conversation at a time. A journey inward through 'meime', and outward toward meaningful change.

This wouldn’t have been possible without the rock-solid foundation of seven months of intensive training, practice, mentoring, and real-time evaluation! That experience has strengthened my belief that coaching is not just about change, but about helping humans truly see themselves, realize themselves, and empower themselves to live fully.

Here’s to many more meaningful conversations, connections, and transformations ahead. 💫
