Hear what other's say about working with me! 🙂
Michelle Chae
Teacher/Artist (Los Angeles, CA)
“I had moved cities to pursue a big dream but felt too scared to actualize that dream. I was stuck in analysis paralysis and rather than acting, I would just dwell in thoughts and fears. I felt extremely lost in my passions, pursuits, and also was suffering from low self esteem and lack of confidence. After talking to Sharon, I always felt energized and clear headed. She helped me take big dreams and break them down into action plans. I tend to get overwhelmed by the bigger picture and give up before even starting because it all seems too daunting.. But Sharon helped me take bite sized pieces and was just a constant cheerleader and support system. The coaching sessions almost felt like therapy sessions, haha! Being able to talk to someone who is grounded and rooted in positivity was something I really needed since my inner dialogue was so critical and negative. I always feel like a burden is lifted when I was sharing with her. Through working with Sharon, I’ve realized the power of celebrating small victories. Sharon asked me to keep a power promise, a small promise I knew I could keep everyday, to build up my confidence and trust in myself. It was a small act that really helped reaffirm myself and put power into the things I tell myself. If you’re feeling aimless and unsure of what direction to take in life, or if you have big goals and pursuits but don’t know where to begin, I highly recommend starting with Sharon. She gives so much clarity and encouragement and really helps in honing in on your skills, abilities and how to practically plan thereafter.”

Eurie Choi
Payroll Tax Analyst (Orange County, CA)
“Sharon’s guidance and insights helped clarify why I’ve been feeling so stuck and what I can do to move towards my goals. Before my coaching sessions with Sharon, I had already started my personal growth journey and was trying to figure out what I really want to do with my life and how it aligns with my ultimate purpose. But I quickly got stuck in the never ending cycle of starting a new goal or habit, being really good for a couple weeks, abruptly stopping because life, and then feeling defeated and hopeless because of another unfinished goal/project. During our sessions, Sharon helped me better understand what my personal strengths are and how I can use them to achieve my long term goals. She tailored our sessions so that I can get the most out of them and she was always there brainstorming with me on how I can incorporate my passions into my goals and daily life. I always felt challenged but encouraged at the end of each session. Sharon was easy to talk to from the start and her coaching style made it easy to be honest not only with her but also with myself. If you need some guidance on incorporating your passions into your daily life, or if you already have a plan and are killing it but need someone to give you that extra push and accountability, I highly recommend working with Sharon! She will meet you where you’re at in your journey and walk with you in achieving your goals.”

Cody Lung
Dental Student (San Francisco, CA)
“I was a dental student that was questioning what I should be doing on this earth, and felt very unmotivated. But after working with Sharon, I felt extremely motivated and optimistic and ready to tackle my goals. Her coaching sessions were super good! I felt nervous at first talking about my goals and my personal career, but Sharon made me feel extremely comfortable and motivated me. She taught me the value of the goal pyramid and reminded me of my strengths and roadblocks that are going to be there in life. If you feel unmotivated or need some guidance to help find some meaning in your life, Sharon is really helpful! I was definitely on a dip in my life and she directed me back onto a proper path to a more fulfilling and goal-oriented life.”

Want to know what your first coaching session can look like?
Read below Q & A with Suji Lee from South Korea and her experience on what her first coaching session was like! (In both English translations and in Korean original).
Suji Lee
Office Worker (South Korea)
(English translated version).
Q: What was going on in your life before talking with Sharon?
Suji: Although the salary was not very high, I was at a job with a low level of workload, time for hobbies after work. It was a boring job, but it was stable and I was quite satisfied. However, I kept asking myself if I can be happy doing this for a lifetime. As my own personal growth started to disappear, I felt like I was watching myself become dumber and dumber, and I came to realize that I want to live a life of more personal growth. However, I didn’t even know what I like, what I want to do, and what I’m good at. I didn’t know where to even begin my journey of improving my life, and I started to feel increasingly frustrated and depressed. That’s when I met Sharon.
Q: How were you feeling BEFORE talking with Sharon?
Suji: Before I met Sharon, I was feeling rushed and was full of anxiety to build a new life without any plan. It seemed like I was the only one wandering around and falling behind in life compared to others. Also, in Korea, as you become older, jumping into a new field of career becomes increasingly harder, so I wanted to hurry up and make a decision sooner than later. Also the fear of failing after I try something new at an older age was so big. Out of frustration, I shared my concerns with those around me, but their response was, “Your current life isn’t bad. You don’t even know what you want to do, and it’s already too late for you to try something new. So just be satisfied with where you are at.” This made me feel like I’m an incompetent person who is supposed to be satisfied with life as it is, and I felt ashamed.
Q. How did you feel AFTER talking with Sharon?
Suji: After talking with Sharon, my anxiety and a sense of hurry disappeared, and I was at peace. I was able to have a positive mind and renewed strength that I can prepare well for a new life. Before I met Sharon, due to severe stress, I wasn’t able to eat well and was suffering from a stomach disorder. But after our conversation together, my mind was at peace and I was able to eat well again. 🙂
Q: What was your session experience like?
Suji: In addressing my concerns, Sharon gave rational and realistic advice based on her experience. She sincerely listened and elaborated on each of my worries one by one, and sympathized with my concerns. Also, by looking at the way she lives her life, I felt confident and grew to trust that I can create a life I most want by listening to Sharon and preparing step-by-step. The best part was when I shared my numerous worries, she helped me reflect on the meaning and purpose behind my worries. She clearly taught me what criteria I should be looking at when approaching my concerns and how I should think to find the answers.
Q: What did you learn from working with Sharon?
Suji: First, I learned that I need to focus on myself, on what I like, and on what I want to do. Second, I learned how to take actions on things strategically one by one and prepare for my future. I was in such a hurry that I had to do this and that, but now I am trying to give myself some space to think. Also I realized that in order to live a life that is different from my current reality, I need to manage my time well and that I need to study, research, and put in the hard work to make it happen.
Q: Would you recommend other people who are struggling with find the right path for their future to have a coaching session with Sharon?
Suji: 100% I recommend people to work with Sharon! Don’t stress out by yourself. When you receive Sharon’s coaching, you will be able to improve your mindset which will help you break through the areas you felt stuck in when preparing for your future.
Q: 샤론과 이야기하기 전에 인생에서 무슨 일이 있었나요?
Suji: 월급이 높진 않지만 업무강도도 낮고 퇴근 후 취미생활도 하는 등 그럭저럭 만족하며 살 수 있는, 지루하지만 안정적인 직장에 다니며 평온한 삶을 살고 있었다.
하지만 평생 이 일을 하며 행복하게 살 수 있을 것인가에 대한 계속된 의문과 개인의 발전이 없어 갈수록 바보가 되어가는 것 같은 내모습을 보며 내 인생 이대로 괜찮은걸까, 좀 더 발전하는 삶을 살고 싶다 라는 생각을 하게되었다.
하지만 나는 내가 좋아하는게 무엇인지, 내가 하고싶은게 무엇인지, 잘 할 수 있는게 무엇인지도 모르는 상태였고, 어디서부터 어떻게 다른 삶을 준비해야 할지 너무나도 막막하여 답답함과 우울함만 커지던 중, 샤론을 만나게 되었다.
Q: 샤론과 이야기하기 전에 기분이 어땠나요?
Suji: 빨리 다시 인생을 설계하여 전과 다른 인생을 살아야 한다는 생각에 마음은 급해지고, 준비는 되지않아 불안함이 극에 달했었다. 다른사람들은 자신의 길을 잘 찾아서 걸어나가는 것 같은데, 나만 방황하는 것 같고 그래서 뒤쳐지는 것 같고, 더구나 한국에서는 나이를 먹을 수록 다른 시도를 하는 것은 점점 어려워 지는게 현실이라 하루빨리 결정을 내리고 싶었다.
또한 늦은나이에 다른 시도를 했다가 실패했을때의 두려움이 너무 컸었다.
답답함에 주변사람들에게 고민을 털어놓기도 해봤지만, 주변인들의 반응은 “현재 너의 삶도 나쁘지 않아. 새로운 것을 시도하기에도 너무 늦었고 뭘 해야할지도 모르잖아. 그러니 그냥 만족하며 살아.”였다. 이러한 반응은 내가 정말 이만큼의 삶에 만족하고 살아야만 하는, 무능한 사람이라고 못박는 것만 같아서 나를 자괴감에 빠지게 했다.
Q: 샤론하고 대화한 후 기분이 어땠나요?
Suji: 불안함과 조급함이 사라지고 마음이 편해졌다. 그리고 다른 삶을 위한 준비를 잘 할 수 있을 것만 같은 긍정적인 마음과 기운이 생겼다.
대화를 하기 전까지 극심한 스트레스로 인해 밥을 잘 먹지 못하고 위장장애가 생겨서 고생중이었는데, 대화 이후 속이 한결 편해지며 밥도 잘 먹게 되었다. 🙂
Q: 당신의 셰션 경험은 어땠는가요?
Suji: 샤론은 나의 고민들에 대한 답변을 자신의 경험을 바탕으로 이성적이면서도 현실적으로 조언을 해주었다. 그리고 모든 고민과 질문에 대해 하나하나 답변을 정성들여 해주었다. 그리고 내 고민에 공감해주고 귀담아 들어줬다.
또한, 현재 그녀가 삶을 살아나가는 모습에서 신뢰감이 생겨 샤론의 조언대로 나에대해 더 알아보고 차근차근 준비해 나가다 보면 정말로 내가 원하는 삶을 살 수 있을 것 같은 확신이 들었다.
특히 좋았던 것은 수많은 고민을 내뱉었을 때, 고민의 의미와 목적을 짚어주며 내가 해야할 고민들을 어떠한 기준에서 생각을 해나가며 답을 찾아야할지 고민을 풀어나가는 방법을 명확하게 알려주었다.
Q: 샤론과 코칭받으면서 무엇을 배웠나요?
Suji: 첫번째로 나에게 집중하여 내가 무엇을 좋아하는지, 하고싶은지를 찾고 두번째로 그것을 하나 둘 씩 시작해보면서 체계적으로 준비해 나가는 방법을 배웠다.
너무나도 막연하게 이것도 해야하고 저것도 해야하고 마음만 급했었는데 이제는 여유를 가지고 생각하며 조급해하지 않으려 하고있다.
그리고 지금과 다른 나의 인생을 살기위해선 굉장히 부지런해야하고 공부, 관련 자료조사도 열심히 하며 노력을 많이 해야한다는 것을 배웠다.
Q: 미래를 위한 올바른 길을 찾는데 어려움을 겪고 있는 다른 사람들에게 샤론과 코칭 세션을 갖도록 권해 주시겠습니까?
Suji: 100%로 추천합니다! 혼자 고민하지 마시고 샤론에게 코칭을 받아보면 어떻게 미래를 준비해야할 지에 대해 막혔던 생각이 점점 발전 할 것입니다.

"After going to the army, I've been constantly thinking about what is it that I like and what is it that I'm good at for a whole year. But it wasn't easy to figure out who "I" am by myself. I struggled for a whole year trying to figure myself out, but Sharon was able to help me figure myself out in less than 2 hours. Even though spending time to think alone is good, but Sharon's systematic questions were such a huge help for me. Sharon met me at eye-level with empathy and understanding. After talking with Sharon, before I knew it, I discovered a me I didn't even know about. Anyone can feel lost in life. Anyone can experience times when they feel like they don't even know who they are. If you feel that way, why not give Sharon a call?" (Translated version. See below for Korean original.)
