Having many coaching clients, what does it really mean?

Having many coaching clients is something any coach working independently aspires to.

I practice Linguistic Empathy and I expect you to do the same. Please bear with me if my English is not perfect.

I have recently had a considerable increase in requests of individual coaching programmes. New clients, former participants in my online course to build a portable career, or returning clients who want to continue the programme.

Four years ago, when I started to work as a coach, I could not know what would happen in my life. One thing I was certain about, though, was that getting in touch with human beings and collect their life stories is something I will never get tired of.

At the beginning of my career, any new client that knocked at my door caused an uncontrollable wave of excitement, because he would allow me to practice, to test myself, and to grow as a coach. He put me in the position to do what I most love and in a remunerated and professionally fulfilling framework.

I won’t hide – and I believe this is the norm for everyone – that even though I will surely not become rich with coaching, being able to see a bit of money landing on my personal bank account, after years of financial dependency on my husband, was for long a strong motivator.

Today, though, I am in a new phase of my career. One in which I find myself with more clients than I had ever dreamed of while I was moving my first steps. And I asked myself again why does this really make me so happy. The answer has been a sort of discovery that opened up new scenarios.

Having many coaching clients in this moment means that the intuition I had when I built a new career from scratch was right. They confirm that I have been able to find the way to match passions and work.. They also confirm that I know myself very well, that my values are today clearer than ever and I know how to translate them in my everyday life, work included.

Because the more I live, the more I realize that a full professional happiness can only be achieved eliminating the line that divides our personal and professional identity. Ideally our work should allow us to do what we love the most. And being remunerated for it. I know that when coaching, giving my courses and training people in intercultural dynamics, I do what I would do even if I were not to receive a penny, because this is what motivates me and fills me with passion. Having many coaching clients confirms that I have found the right direction to eliminate that line, which is for many a cause of frustration and unhappiness. Honestly, what more could I ask?
