Now that’s enough of talking about myself in third person.

 

Let me tell you a story …

​

Once upon a time I did something great, something that took every bit of courage that I had and then some. I followed my heart and intuition. The biggest decision of my life was to stop living other people’s expectations, or what I assumed were their expectations. I left my marriage, decided to win my long battle with depression and simply be myself - every day and in every situation. I took charge of my life and started to embrace myself just the way I am. Authentically and truly.

​

That was the moment when the doors and windows were opened to all my talents and skills that I was either born with or acquired along the way to shine center stage and I started to truly live my purpose, which is to help others. Ever since learning about coaching many years ago (the time that was called 'before the kids') I wanted to be a coach, mentor and a motivational speaker. I am grateful to truly serve my purpose and I get goose bumps every time a client has an insight, a breakthrough or shares how their transformation has caused people around them to transform. This happens several times per week and I feel blessed.

​

As a coach - a guide - I listen and ask questions. The process is amazingly simple. I draw energy and creativity from all big and small adventures that I have been blessed with so far. These adventures include leaving my home in Finland to hop over the Atlantic and attend a university in the United States, choosing to study fine arts next to a business degree, rafting down many wild rivers, climbing mountains and skiing down, learning Chinese and playing in the university soccer team during a semester in Hong Kong, building a credit control team at an outdoor company, completing a solo clowning project while pregnant with my first child, moving to Switzerland with three weeks’ notice, selling ice axes, dancing through the years and performing on various stages in many places, speaking in conferences and making people laugh.

​

Although many of my life and business adventures have been an immediate source of joy and fulfilment, there have been some where the lessons and meaning have taken some time to crystallize. Nevertheless, I have grown in resilience and learned to transform any experience - any adventure - into a source of energy and wisdom ... eventually even joy. Some of these 'not so obviously positive' adventures include burning out, breaking my leg 3 weeks before giving birth to my first child and the above mentioned deep depression which lasted seven years.

​

My coaching journey started in 2021 through creating the app called TIM This Is Me. It is a confidence app for pre-professional / young professional dancers and dance athletes. I was guiding individual dancers through the app programs when I realized that what I was doing was called coaching. Boom. I had landed my dream job.

 

I finally became a certified coach and consultant in August 2022, started my own business as an entrepreneur, serving from my heart and having the privilege of witnessing true transformation at so many levels and for so many groups of humans. Leaders, Athletes, Dancers, Performers, Artists ... simply: Humans.

​

There are many more adventures that are all combined in who I am, how I serve and show up today. I am grateful for each and every one so far and all the ones that are yet to come.

​

With Love,

Coach Paula
