Nada acontece por acaso…

um pequeno enquadramento

Hoje sou Advanced Transformative Coach certificada pela Supercoach Academy nos Estados Unidos. E trabalho como Coach e Consultora de Recursos Humanos.

Mas, por incrível que pareça, venho de uma carreira de mais de 23 anos na Banca!

Nasci e cresci na maravilhosa Ilha da Madeira, bem no meio do Oceano Atlântico. Uma sortuda! Um sítio lindo, um tempo fantástico, pessoas simpáticas… Mas não suficientemente grande para os meus sonhos.

Por isso, quando chegou a altura, fui para Lisboa para a universidade onde tirei o curso de Economia e comecei a trabalhar na Banca. Por causa do meu trabalho, vivi muitos anos em Lisboa, mudei-me para a Holanda e mais tarde para Moçambique. Todas experiências maravilhosas e incríveis oportunidades de aprendizagem. Adorei! Excepto que, pela minha carreira, acabei por pagar um alto custo pessoal. Quase me perdi pelo caminho…

Felizmente, a vida tem a sua própria maneira de nos oferecer segundas oportunidades e, como que por magia, quando tudo me parecia escuridão, tocou o meu despertador!

E, de repente, tudo começou a fazer sentido. As circunstâncias à minha volta eram exactamente as mesmas que me tinham levado a um estado de depressão, mas eu comecei a olhar para o meu copo meio cheio e não vazio como antes. Encontrei o meu propósito na vida, a minha missão, a minha paixão, a minha alegria. E assim desenterrei-me a mim.

Afinal, bastou-me apenas um olhar profundo para dentro de mim mesma, porque tudo o que eu tanto precisava (verdade, felicidade, paz) já lá estava, só tinha que o encontrar, agarrar e transformar em AMOR.

.

porquê o coaching?

Quando se passa por uma experiência de mudança de vida tão profunda como foi a minha, é impossível guardá-la só para si. Tem que se passar palavra.

Sente-se que se pode mudar o mundo!

Tudo fez perfeito sentido quando me apercebi da interligação entre os meus maiores valores, as minhas motivações e as minhas capacidades. E como se não bastasse… surgiu-me a oportunidade de aprender com os melhores dos melhores no mundo do Coaching! O deleite foi inconfundível quando percebi a magia de tudo isto e quando experimentei ser efectivamente dona da minha vida.

E porque acredito realmente que tudo está já dentro de cada um, quero estar lá, para todos os que quiserem empreender esta viagem maravilhosa de auto-descoberta e que eu possa de alguma forma ajudar.

Esta é, acredito, a minha missão.

o que as pessoas dizem de mim

Dear Alex!

Whatever you perceive to be good and of use in others is within you! You are strong and loving, courageous and kind beyond measure! Keep nurturing all that is good and wonderful!

You are loved absolutely and unconditionally!

With all my love and gratitude for your presence in my life!

Namaste!
