Q work with someone, and that they were trained well, and they were able to help you do it. So I'm curious, I mean, I have a lot of questions now, basically, based on this. Uh, my, my first question is, do you think having gone through the coaching years before made it easier for you to process the, the, the events that happened and the loss that ensued? Or no?
A A hundred percent. A hundred percent. Because I had already separated my identity from the company, right? Like my clients, sometimes by accident, they would say Aldo Partners instead of Clado Partners, which was the company name, right? And I felt the same way sometimes, right? I felt the goals of the company are my goals and, and, and vice versa. So having Having done that, having that, that, that one pager that I still today send to people, I said, this is how you get to know me, these are my values, my skills, my purpose in life, really helped me a lot, because I just need to find a new home, um, for that practice. Um, what it also helped me, it helped me prepare, um, it helped me be ready for somebody to, to help me, right? Because after working with Kim Sumner, I actually, um, engaged a executive coach as well. Her name is Sandra Ruiz, and so I had with her bi-weekly sessions, uh, to talk through things, and she would reflect on what I was, we were just together, reflect on what was happening with the company and the different relationships that were important to, um, to manage that company, um, So I think I, I had become a lot more open in talking about my thoughts, my feelings, what was deepest inside me. So for sure, all that coaching helped me to, to be much more prepared for the counseling.
