Coaching

 

I help women of color build lives they are passionate about by breaking free from external pressures, embodying their true voices, & stepping into their power.

 

Why I coach
& for whom

I am an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) accredited by the International Coaching Federation.

My vision for a more beautiful and just world is intimately tied with collective liberation, and I believe that it starts with centering communities most impacted. I love partnering with women of color in this work, supporting them in identifying limiting beliefs, forming their purpose, and ultimately becoming a force for change.

If you are:

  • Hungry for a fulfilling and joyful career

  • Stagnant in a goal you’ve set for yourself

  • Craving grounding after going through a life change

  • Wanting more confidence to show up as your full self

  • Seeking support in finding a deeper purpose 

I’d be honored to work with you. Book your free discovery call!

 
 
 

How it started

The first time I worked with a coach, I wanted to get unstuck from how I felt about my career. As a creative worker, I felt like I was at a crossroads, and I presented my coach with the two options I had before me:

  1. continue climbing the ladder at my tech job, make a comfortable amount of money, then use that to fund my passion projects when I don’t feel exhausted outside of my 9-5.

  2. quit my job, find a career I care about, take a less than comfortable pay cut, love the work I do, but outside of that 9-5 sacrifice the financial goals I had & the quality of life I wanted.

I paused, defeated.

Then she asked: “What if there was a third option?”

It was a simple, powerful question—asked at exactly the right moment. Yet to that powerful question, I remember reacting, well, there’s no third option! Every example I’ve seen so far forces people to choose one or the other!

We went back and forth. My limiting beliefs clouded me. But eventually through our coaching process, I reconnected with my deep creativity. I saw the possibility of designing a third option, and hell, even a fourth, fifth, sixth option. I felt free.

That same freedom is what I want to bring forth in people.

 
 
 
 

FAQs

  • Coaching is the process of partnering with a client in a thought provoking, creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.

  • I am an ontological coach. Ontology is the study of being. Through ontology, our coaching focuses on your way of being as the foundational driver of your behavior, communication, and beliefs. It is a powerful framework for navigating the unpredictable nature of everyday life, because it transforms your way of being as the path to designing a purposeful life.

  • Coaching is active and focused on the present. Our sessions will center on the now. It is also driven by what you want to achieve. It is forward-looking, goal-oriented, and action-oriented. On the other hand, therapy looks into the past, where people understand how to cope or come to terms with something that happened before or is diagnosis related. There are commonalities, both can work beautifully in tandem, but they are different. I’ve done both extensively myself, and can share from my perspective if you’d like.

  • First, we’ll start with a discovery call where we can get to know each other and determine if we are a good fit. If you choose to commit, we recommend a minimum of 10 sessions. We’ll start with co-creating your coaching plan together, outlining the outcomes and actions you want to achieve. You, as the client, will choose the focus of every conversation, while I, as the coach, will create a safe and trusted space for you to explore.

  • I currently offer a sliding scale per session. The discovery call is free, so please reach out at my email kerripang@gmail.com to set up a 30 minute chat!
