Stories from Our Community
Since 2020, Connecting Stories has been my go-to space for growth and reflection. A session on impostor syndrome pushed me to confront self-doubt and take bold action. That conversation reignited my passion and led me back to complete my Family Medicine residency. Looking back, I’m proud I chose to do it afraid and succeeded.
In 2021, I joined the Masterclass with one clear goal: break into HR. Today, I’m on that path, growing steadily and purposefully. I’m not yet a Director, but I’m far from where I started. Thank you for being the life coach who helped set this journey in motion.
“Connecting Stories has been incredible to be a part of and experience the events/programmes over the years. In particular, the two weekend retreats I have attended have been special and significant for me, especially with regards to harnessing the power of vulnerability.
Also, taking part in the mentorship programme as a mentor to a young woman in her 20s has been a privilege to see her growth.
“I have attended online sessions since 2020 and the sessions about goal setting help me connect the dots between my education, experiences and aspirations. I was able to get useful tips that have helped me set up a sustainability education organisation in Nigeria. I am also guided by Ify’s approach of doing things afraid and I am happier for it. I also enjoy the avenues for giving and connecting with others who need support.
“Connecting Stories has been a game-changer for my personal growth. Every event offers powerful insights, but the most impactful was learning to be intentional about financial freedom. I left one session inspired to create a personalised financial plan and today, I’m more confident and secure in protecting what matters most. This platform keeps giving, and I keep growing.
