 After
an early stint as a teacher and some time out to raise a
couple of children, I found myself back in the work market
in the optical field. I worked in this field for twenty
years, most of them as a nationally certified optician and
manager of either an optical shop or ophthalmologist's office.
During this time I discovered that many of the patients
just liked to sit and talk to me about their "vision." These
talks often involved the direction of their lives. I was
often asked for feedback about their problems, dreams, etc.,
and they continually told me that I truly helped them to
"see clearly."
I decided to relocate from the East Coast to the West and
hired a coach to help me figure out what I would do when
I grew up. (I was then in my early fifties.) In the meantime,
I again took a job in the optical field, knowing it was
not what I truly wanted to do, but fearful of having no
income. Shortly after I started working with my coach, I
lost my optical job and was not able to get another one
in that field, despite having a very impressive resume as
well as great references. My coach congratulated me and
explained that I had said I no longer wanted to continue
in that field, and the Universe was supporting me in that
wish.
After working with my coach for a while and changing many
of the negatives in my life to positives, my coach fired
me as a client and asked me to work with her as a coach.
She identified, even before I did, what I was and how my
past experiences contributed to my abilities as a coach.
Needless to say my "vision" of my life has cleared.
