Fast Growth Is Fragile. Real Growth Is Earned, One Step at a Time
Posted on August 28, 2025 by Jessica Manca, One of Thousands of Career Coaches on Noomii.
Breakthroughs aren’t luck. They’re built. This client’s shift started with honesty—and ended in impact.
FAST GROWTH IS FRAGILE. REAL GROWTH IS EARNED.
In a recent coaching session, one of my clients—a mid-career overthinker and perfectionist—reflected:
“I’ve increased my self-esteem this year.”
That’s not something you stumble into.
It’s not something that happens overnight.
It’s what happens when you:
- Stop tolerating what no longer fits
- Advocate for yourself, even through tears
- Get honest about what you want and what you deserve
She didn’t change by force.
She changed by showing up differently—one aligned step at a time.
Since then:
- She’s been promoted
- She’s happier
- She’s now carving out a role she once thought belonged to someone else
This is what it looks like when new beliefs become real—through action.
