After being on maternity leave with my first child for almost a year, I asked Ian to assist me with overcoming some anxiety I had about returning to work. Specifically, I had concerns about how to merge my new role as a mom with my already established career. I realized I had some insecurities and mental blocks that were preventing me from looking ahead and setting goals for the future. Ian asked the right questions to help me take a deeper look at the things that were holding me back and helped me make a plan to address each one of my challenges. He took the time to ensure each challenge was addressed. I learned from Ian that I already had many of the answers myself and he helped me realize that I was more self aware than I thought I was. I found him to be talented at listening and synthesizing my scattered thoughts, then repeating them back to me in a way that gave me clarity. I was surprised to hear him make sense of the chatter in my head. He reassured me that the thoughts and concerns I had were normal. Ian provided me with some valuable tools to help look at how I react or make decisions in order to become a better leader. He also helped me visualize my success and look deeper at my behaviour to become more self-aware. I am looking forward to implementing these tools in my day-to-day work. I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked with Ian and am confident that he has set me up to take on the challenges ahead while working towards my newfound goals.
