Before I started coaching, I used to work as an art director and project manager in a top multinational ad agency for more than 10 years. I helped innovate new business solutions and developed new products for Scandinavian countries. It may sound like a successful and financially rewarding career, but like so many driven young professionals, I got overwhelmed and suffered from chronic stress. I ended up neglecting my mental and physical health. I couldn’t keep up with the fast-paced work environment and saw myself spiralling down and drowning in constant anxiety and stress.
