Describe your biggest, coolest result for your work.

During a two-hour group session, I was able to articulate what exactly prevents me from feeling confident during interviews.

What difficulty did you come to coaching with?

I came with the question of why I behave unpredictably in interviews and cannot always control my actions and words because of nervousness.

How did the work go?

We worked in one session and discussed issues related to self-perception during interviews. We used metaphorical cards to understand the nature of my state. It was helpful for me to articulate that (a) I perceive the interview situation as unsafe and (b) I already have strategies that I could use to cope.

What did you leave coaching with?

I left with the understanding that I already have tools to solve my problem; I just need to learn to practice them. I also continue to reflect on how to distinguish real danger from anxiety about the result.

What did you enjoy most about the session?

I enjoyed working with Evgeniya; it was comfortable to talk about myself and my feelings. The session helped me understand the problem and outline ways to solve it.
