12. The ‘why’ behind my identity:
Examples from my journey
From time to time, I take a step out of my comfort
zone to explore different ways of learning, of
expressing, of being... ⭐ At this small madrasa
inside the old medina in Fes, Morocco, I was so
blessed with a cheerful, enthusiastic welcome by
the little children and their teacher! 🎈It was so
inspiring to experience their openness - as an
outsider, as someone who doesn’t speak Arabic,
as a non-Muslim. ☮ Witnessing the joy of sharing,
of learning playfully, of expressing pure love as
humans and of speaking no other common
language but that of the heart - priceless! 🙏❤

13. How to recognize our own voice
u YOUR VOICE = YOUR MESSAGE
u What’s your message to the world?
What’s the message of your story?
u Have you heard yourself ‘sing’?
u Which conversations do you usually find yourself
passionate about? Which topics ‘light your fire’ and
make you want to DO something?
u A universe of sound…
13

14. Embrace your voice
u What led you to be a Coach? Why do you do it? What’s your story?
u What meaning do you draw from your coaching practice? From your
projects? How does it make you feel? Communicate that!
u Have the confidence to be your authentic self - and show it! Show up.
YOUR VOICE = YOUR MESSAGE = YOUR IMPACT

16. Authenticity: our greatest ally
u Be open. Be transparent. The world only has only 1 of YOU!
u Celebrate who you are & share that with the world!
u What is the world missing out on if you are not yourself?
What’s the price you are paying if you are not yourself?
What’s the price the people around you are paying if you
don’t do what you want to do?
u Resilience – never mind the obstacles. It’s all part of your
journey… of your SERVICE to yourself & to the world.
