Life changing conversations. ✨Have you ever had one? One person saying one thing can make such a difference to our life trajectory.
My transformational story:
Eighteen year old me was working part time in clothes store. I started doing art classes in the evenings because I’d always been creative. And let’s face it, I wasn’t being inspired or challenged by my day job.
My tutor, who really seemed to take an interest in my work, asked me what I did one day. I shared my occupation. He promptly proclaimed, “give up your day job. You have a real talent. You can do an art foundation course here starting September (uk)”.
This was life changing in two ways. The first, he showed me another path. The second he believed in me and my unique bunch of talents.
His advice also gave me a fiery determination to succeed, almost no matter what. My inner perfectionist was born (😆). Happily I’ve learnt how to manage her.
I went on to do a 3dimension design degree in glass. I was then accepted to do a masters in Design and business management at the Royal college of art (prestigious in the uk).
I started my professional career in London. Agency side, creative problem solving and loving building client relations. After a decade or so I went client side and managed a team of creative folks including copywriters and graphic/digital designers.
That was where I realised my love for people development. Creative problem solving for others is now part of my everyday life as an executive, leadership and life coach. And my workshops.
If my tutor hadn’t said those words to me? Who knows where I’d have ended up.
Have you ever had a conversation that changed your life? Now I’m lucky enough to have them often - but I’ve never forgotten how it all began. And how humble that keeps me.
