Michele Alexander had to coach clients while deaf.
Every day brings new challenges. Most can be expected – maybe you’re tired from work bogging you down, or stressed about a deadline.
But of course, life can throw you some challenges, too. Michele Alexander had quite a big, abnormal challenge thrown at her one morning: she woke up deaf.
She woke up in a panic because she could hear nothing but a ringing in her ears. And what’s worse – her day was jam-packed with client coaching sessions.
However she overcame that teeny, tiny, minute challenge, and her story inspired several people. Australian Women Online even did a feature on Michele because, well, it’s not every day someone goes deaf…and then continues to work and pull through both in business and personally. She managed to overcome this challenge – and since this happened, several others – by thinking positively. She told Deborah Robinson, “At least I didn’t go blind. I think losing your eyesight would be much worse and I was also fortunate in that there was treatment available.”
Her story just goes to show that not only do coaches provide insight and help businesses succeed every day, but it’s even more amazing when they have to overcome their own challenges to help clients reach their goals.
