I went through a period when everything at work became too much for me. After 33 years of permanent service in the same workplace, I turned to a temp agency, where I was fortunately advised to consider career coaching instead. Through Google, I found “Sterk op je werk,” got in touch with a coach, and started a program that pushed me outside my comfort zone. It gave me space to be myself but also challenged me to look at things differently. I was confronted with myself — sometimes uncomfortably so — but couldn’t avoid those moments of truth.
Thank you for giving me a new perspective, for helping me understand my strengths and weaknesses, and for clarifying so much — both work-related and personal!
To anyone who’s doubting or no longer feels good at work: don’t hesitate. It’s truly valuable, whether you decide to stay in your current job or take on a new challenge.
Thank you, Ann — the journey isn’t over yet, but I’ve found confirmation, peace, and clarity!
