Welcome to the Professional Podcast Network, where brilliance meets business, elevate your brand, and supercharge your revenue with inspiring insights and innovation. Either everyone, and welcome back to the show. This is your host, Phil, and our next guest here today is Minda Myloaf, who's based out of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, for a business called Coach Minda. How you doing today? I'm doing very well. Thank you. All right, I'm glad to hear it. So Minda, tell us a little bit more here about yourself and what services you offer to people. Okay, so I work as a professional coach in Montreal, and I see most of my clients on Zoom, but some I still see in person. And I work with, I would say, clients between the ages of 25 and 55. And primarily, it's one-on-one coaching. Sometimes I work with teams, but mostly I'm working with individuals. And usually people come to see me because they're feeling stuck, they're at an impasse, and they're not really having exactly the life that they want. So I work to help people sort of navigate certain transitions in their life and to develop certain strategies to create a life that's sort of more interesting and meaningful. Sounds good. So how long have you been doing this for? So I've probably been doing this about 13 years, I think of about 13 years. And I've worked over the years with different cohorts of clients. So there's been times when I'm working with a lot of teachers and principals, or I've been working with physicians, or I'm working with people who were sort of trying to get through their PhD, or young professionals, trying to figure out how to manage in the workplace and some of their career challenges. All right, and what was it that kind of led you to this career path to help out people this way? What was your inspiration? Well, that's a good question, I mean it was a very unplanned profession. I had been working previously as a training consultant for over 20 years, and I've always had a passion for helping people learn and shift and adapt to change. And I'd also been working as a project manager for continuing medical education programs and healthcare. And both of my parents got very sick at the same time, and I wasn't really able to manage my business than I had three kids at home. So I gave up a year to basically take care of two dying parents, who in fact died within a year. And when they passed away, I was of course, you know, exhausted and engrieved, and I had no idea what I was going to do next. I just did not have the heart to go back to my old business. So someone had suggested to me that maybe I would be interested in working as a professional coach, and I thought, "Okay, I will try doing this while I kind of figure out my life." And so that's what I did. I registered for a one year program, and before the program was over, I set myself up. And offered three months of pro bono coaching. And I absolutely just fell in love with this work, and I feel grateful every day that this is what I'm doing. All right, I'm glad to hear that.
