Coach of the Month September 2004

MONIKA PARKER – Life Coach, Career Coach, Stress Resiliency Coach

Becoming a Life Coach is a DREAM COME TRUE.

I came to HK in my mid 20s and entered a wonderful world of sunshine, friends, junks, parties and work, of course. It was truly a different world from the one my husband and I had left behind in the UK. We started a family, established an import /retail business. We worked hard, the business flourished and the sun shone on us.

Yet, underneath all that my internal stage was not congruent with the life I was being offered. I had brought with me my many limiting beliefs learned and honed so carefully from childhood. I realized something had to change. As is so often the case, when we have a deep realization, somehow the magic button is pressed, doors open and a hand of help is extended to us.
Thank goodness I had the sense to take it.

I was invited to the Raja Yoga Meditation Centre in Tin Hau and the journey began for the somewhat skeptical, vulnerable and scared Monika to resurrecting the real me.

It became my experience that, whenever I allowed myself to be deeply honest about the origins of my emotions and willing to change my focus, imagined difficulties simply melted away. Most of my insecurity and pain was anchored in the past and had nothing whatsoever to do with the present.

As I began to heal it became more and more pressing for me to pass this wisdom on to others – but how?

The rest is history: Terry Phillips, CoachU and the HK Coaching Community, my Clients - all have helped to make my dream come true of being a Life Coach.

I try to live and coach by these two mottos which experience has taught me:
A problem cannot be changed with the same mind that created it – therefore, a change of mind / focus is called for. It really is no more complicated than that.

Love is the foundation to long-term happiness - that which I carry in my heart always finds a match outside. A heart full of pain will search for proof of that pain. A heart full of love only sees love.

It is the simplicity of these messages that makes me so excited about being a Coach. I want to shout it from the roof tops: YOU TOO CAN HAVE THE LIFE YOU WANT - when you let go of the limitations that stop you.
