Michelle, an involved parent and an ambitious woman on the move to become a CFO found herself facing many new challenges at home and at work. In the office, she found her boss to be toxic and discovered her work unpredictable and challenging. Due to the immense stress at work, she began to let out her frustration at home on her children.
Feeling guilty for the change in her behavior towards her children, she sought Innermined for help. With emotional intelligence coaching, she was able to identify her roles and values. Over the first month, she grew self-aware of her needs, the needs of the office, and her children. She understood that she was overworked and was able to understand why negative emotions stemmed.
Over the second month, she successfully adapted self-regulation strategies to overcome her problems of a difficult and challenging workspace by managing effective communication with the boss and team building/ trust building with her team. and was also able to have a fulfilling and pleasant time with her children by actively managing her emotions and perspective taking exercises.
