3. Action Planning:

   • Focused on setting realistic, measurable goals tied to Jacqueline’s strengths and values.

   • Identified potential obstacles and strategies for accountability and motivation.

Key Results:

• Renewed Confidence: Jacqueline overcame self-doubt and learned to trust her inner voice, enabling her to pursue her true purpose with intention.

• Resilience in Action: She navigated setbacks without quitting, using tools and strategies from coaching to maintain focus on her goals.

• Empowered Leadership: Jacqueline recognized her unique strengths and invested in herself, becoming a stronger advocate for others.
