One of the courses I took during my Master’s program in Business Psychology was Coaching Psychology. The course gave me a clearer career path and niche because I realized how much coaching could improve people’s lives.
When I graduated, I worked as an Organization Coach and also organized Individual coaching sessions; my coaching sessions were centred around:
– Team management. – Goal setting.- Personal leadership. – Skill development. – Talent management. – Self-improvement.
Before starting my coaching business, I was amazed at how the coaching course I took in school improved my overall well-being; you can’t give what you don’t have. As I gradually worked on myself, I was better at coaching my clients. Personally, I was able to:
1. Control my thoughts.
2. Understand the consequences of negative emotions.
3. Compartmentalize my priorities.
4. Manage my emotions.
5. Replace negative thoughts with positive ones.
6. Aware of what I can and can’t control.
7. Appreciate each day as it comes.
8. Practice mindfulness.
9. Sleep better by meditating on good things.
10. Know I can’t control what people think about me; I can only control how I react to their thoughts.
11. Allow only positivity in my life in what I see, read, hear and feel.
In summary, I benefited a lot from my degree- careerwise and in my personal life.
Over to you, how has your degree(s) improved your mental health?
