Tala Ocampo is an Associate Certified Coach from the International Coach Federation. She has a registered coaching practice based in Singapore and she is also my best friend since 5th grade. I am writing about her because I was able to sample her coaching during a difficult time in my life. I know what you are thinking…Why ask her to coach me when she is my best friend and I can ask her for advice any time?
Tala Ocampo’s work as a Human Research Consultant, Certified Coach and Career Researcher has been featured on Philippine Daily Inquirer (Newspaper) , Leading Philippine Organizations (Book), Workplace Wisdom (Book), Good Housekeeping Philippines, Make It Blissful among others.
As friends, Tala and I talk about anything and everything in life. Since Tala is an amazing introspective person, who always makes well-thought out decisions that is right for herself and her family, she gives amazing advice. I am so lucky to have her as my best friend. But as a coach, it was like having Tala . She focused all her knowledge and training in our sessions. She was friendly yet very professional, and I didn’t feel judged or pressured. I was depressed, I was lost and I was super frustrated. I cannot tell you the details of the situation I was in because I would like to keep it private, but I will tell you that we came to a very unexpected conclusion. I committed to doing something that seemed quite minor at that point in time, but what I came to realise then is what led me to living my own truth.
Though this solution or act did not solve my entire problem, it said “I take ownership of my life” and “I can do something to create a change within me.” And the best thing was that the action I committed to at the end of our session was something tangible and measurable. This little act, led me to a series of other empowered actions that helped me get out of the rut I was in and heading towards the right direction.
After our sessions, she sent me a summary with the timelines I committed to, with some bonus resources to boot. These resources were so on point and helped me make changes in my life.
