Where do I start?
Maggie, Maggie, Maggie, she brings her energy and passion to everything she is doing in her business.
She’s strong and resilient woman.
She is calming, warm, gentle, loving and empathetic too.
She is an inspirational women and her story is very similar to my own journey.
We spent all day together, half day shooting an authentic, natural looking, storytelling brand portrait images in central London for her brand new website and Instagram account. Second half of the day we spent sharing our personal and professional stories to connect deeper.
Maggie Edwards is passionate accredited Life Coach, NLP Master Practitioner and Hypnotherapist.
She always loved working with people and supporting them in their life Journey. Her path was never easy, nor straight (But who said it is going to be easy?).
No matter the circumstances, seatbacks, she always picked herself up, fixed her problems and with determination followed her own destiny.
“ Once you have awareness, you have a choice”
Maggie journey started when she was 17 years old, she read The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and she became obsessed with “finding her purpose.”
She made a decision to leave Poland.
And follow her heart, her purpose in life no matter what!
She has always questioned many times in her life what my true purpose was. At times she knew that things were wrong and not good for her, but others she would go with the flow, and when she was ready to make up her mind, she ran with the decision she had made.
She moved to Austria when she was 20 years old to study International Business at Vienna University. When she arrived she could not speak German, she did not have any finances to cover university fees.
She studied International Business and Psychology, however, due to the work commitments in Vienna, she had to choose one.
Her reliable logical brain helped her to chose Finance because it was easier to study Maths rather than a hundred pages of biology books. Just before graduation, she moved to London, where she gained my first significant financial position.
She quickly learnt the English culture, and a few years later in 2015, she graduated as a Chartered Certified Accountant (ACCA) like me.
She speak three languages English, German and Polish.
For 15 years she knew that finance and accountancy are not truly HER.
She made herself to believe that this is right for her.
However, in 2017 she has hit the rock bottom.
Back then everything from the outside looked sooooo ”perfect”, amazing job, great performance, big plans for the future, exclusive holidays, new house, selection of diplomas on the wall, yet there was a big gap.
The gap was a disconnection from her true self and from her purpose.
She always strived for more, and she always would set herself big goals, which made her happy, but at that point, it was different, because having all that she still felt lost.
Maggie writes: “Overload of information is usually creating confusion, disconnection, lack of focus and unnecessary stress. It is one of the main reasons for unhappiness and lack of purpose. “
She really needed help and asking for help was a big deal to her.
Nevertheless, she made a decision and she hired a life coach.
She remembers very well her first coaching session. It was weird and totally out of her comfort zone. She needed it so much, yet it took her good 3 intensive sessions to realize that this is super urgent and necessary. (Ouch, that was a big slap on her Ego).
Her Life Coach helped her to connect with her true self, she became more aware of her actions, decisions and started noticing all opportunities and that this was her rebirth of finding her true purpose in life. In fact, it was like a quest, she was back on track!
She was wondering for a very long time why and how coaching works?
In short, current coaching methods are transformative and you will only understand it, once you try it!
It’s like having the most amazing beautiful relationship with another person, which you’ll remember forever, or maybe that first magical kiss!
Those special moments you always remember because these moments were transformative to you. Methods which I teach are backed up by neuroscience, you can't argue with the science, right?
Since 2018 her life have changed.
With passion and heart, she has created her coaching online business.
With passion and heart, she has created my coaching online business to assist others to get the best of what they can get for themselves and their lives.
Overload of information creates confusion, disconnection, lack of focus and stress. We need to manage our lives better, adapt, become stronger and make better choices for ourselves.
Technology requires from us to be quicker and work requirements are becoming more demanding.
As a life coach, she is on a mission to help her clients unleash their potential, reach goals faster and more effectively, avoid traditional mistakes (who has got time for this?) and by using the power of the mind create excellence!!!
She believe that everyone was born with potential, and it is our job to find and use it.
