Yesterday I had the second of my coaching sessions that are part of my involvement in the Striding Out program that is employing me at the moment. My coach is called Emma and she is so positive, its very refreshing! Basically the idea of coaching is to push my ambitions to the highest point by boosting my confidence in the work place, and making all my everyday tasks count towards my future career goals.
I am currently working as a Design and Marketing Assistant for a lovely ethical fashion designer called Eloise Grey (www.eloisegrey.com) and so my coach Emma is getting me to make the most of my time here, a limited 6 month period, to learn and contribute as much as possible to the business, to make my day to day life exciting and inspiring!
Emma has really got me thinking about my future career plans, and pushed my ideas to the exciting extremes of maybe one day having a leadership role within an influential ethical fashion charity or organisation, promoting the necessity for ethical fashion in the UK, and thus benefitting many small scale producers worldwide! I would love to one day be involved in creating trade and employment opportunities through fashion, hopefully in Africa as i feel i have a strong connection to the colourful continent! Plus it would be a real bonus to absolutely love my everyday work, feel like i was making a difference, and possibly get to travel and meet some truly inspirational people along the way!
Hopefully all that i am learning through my work in the ethical fashion world will be put to good use through my own ventures someday soon!
