Tahseen – Salaried Professional, Mumbai.
My first interaction with Milind, in his exploratory session was that of unsurety and skepticism. I had been dealing with stress, anxiety, low self confidence and procrastination for the longest time. I kept moving forward looking for fulfillment from the things I was doing and hoping this constant lacklustre state would change. By the time I approached Milind, I was almost certainly convinced that mine is a case of depression and I need professional help in dealing with it.
Around the same time, I became aware of the concept of life coaching and that’s when I set up a session with Milind still unsure if this was the answer. This also meant I had plenty of questions for Milind during the exploratory session and after it – both of which Milind obliged without any hesitation or restraint.
My most important realization from coaching sessions with Milind was that I certainly wasn’t depressed. I just needed to look at the problems I was dealing with from outside and address them one at a time. I start seeing improvements from the first session itself.
If I had to put my experience in a nutshell, before I started sessions with Milind this is a list I had put up on at my work desk.
10 SKILLS That Are HARD to Learn, BUT Will Pay Off FOREVER!
1.Speaking up
2.Being honest about yourself
3.Having confidence
4.Listening
5.Managing your time
6.Stop whining
7.Staying present in the moment
8.Being consistent
9.Getting enough sleep
10.Having empathy
This list had just become one of those laundry lists that I wanted to do but I had no idea how.
After signing up for sessions with Milind, I have not only started on this list, but I’m not calling this a list any more. I’m calling it goals – goals which I have started working towards and will work on continuously.
If you’re looking for quick fixes, then you may want to go some place else. But if you’re committed toward making a significant improvement in your life and you’re willing to work towards achieving your goals then be proactive and take the leap of faith like I did. You will have nothing to lose and everything to gain.”
