Sunette
mindfulness-based coach
What inspired you to work in this field?
An opportunity presented itself where I'm able to broaden my field of coaching and counseling into the addiction recovery field, and I was thrilled to take the opportunity, as I'll be
able to learn as much as a coach in a bit of a different field.
What motivated you to join the team?
Apart from broadening my coaching and counseling experience, the Owners' / Founders' vision for helping people in recovery, aligns with my vision of helping people overall. Their passion for what they do is refreshing and sincere. In today's day and age, you don't often get to join a team with the same outlook in life, and this team does.
What unique qualities or experience do you bring to your role?
Apart from my experience in the coaching and counseling field, I find that people easily build rapport with me. Due to great communication and listening skills, I can connect and empathize with a person. With facilitation and training modules creating experience, I can create and facilitate group sessions, therefore reaching a bigger audience. Being fully bilingual and computer literate, I can easily create systems to fill gaps in the flow of a business or create training modules and presentations, and quickly learn a new system.
What aspects of your job do you find most rewarding?
Group sessions and one-on-one sessions with clients, as this enable me to connect with clients, identify the assistance they need, and assist them in overcoming/improving their lives. During these sessions, I also learn a lot from clients, and that is equally rewarding.
Memorable success story?
There is not one specific memorable story at the moment, but overall, getting to be part of how a client progresses and heals, is very memorable.
What do you find challenging working in this field?
Clients that are not 100% committed, as this delays the process of them recovering completely.
What values or principles guide your approach to supporting the clients?
Self-acceptance, realization of one's worth, ownership and responsibility, honesty, belief system, and a balanced lifestyle.
What is your personal mission statement?
We are all worthy! Strive for continuous personal and professional growth.
Writing, reading, hiking, exercising, swimming, and chilling with the family.
