PURPOSE AND FREEDOM
As a coach and a business owner, Yeo’s life continues to be emotionally and mentally challenging, although a lot of it comes through her own expectations, she said.
Physically, she is a lot freer than whenever she was a teacher.
In a recent post on her LinkedIn page, Yeo spoke about preferring to take the teach or the bus to her destinations. This allows room for walking – a meditative encounter for her.
It is a luxury not many enjoy, especially a teacher with fixed timetables and little personal time.
The mother of three said coaching has also renewed her sense of purpose and given the girl the freedom in order to chart her own path.
Training as a profession is not definitive, Yeo told CNA Women.
“An advisor, a mentor, a trainer, a coach, a teacher along with a consultant – they are all very similar. Right after talking to many people with time, I realised there is absolutely no one fixed definition (for a coach), ” she mentioned.
But right now there lies a fundamental belief among professional coaches.
