Before I enrolled in the coaching program, I found myself at a low point in my life. However, by the end of the period, I was once again beaming with confidence.

Driven by a desire for sustained personal growth, the coaching experience was a period of self- discovery for me. Each session provided a platform for me to assess my strengths and weaknesses, opportunities for growth, and threats to my personal development. With the help of my coach, I found practical ways to maximize my strengths and minimize my weaknesses.

My coach was extremely resourceful and offered thoughtful interventions to put me on a path of sustained personal growth.

In summary, my experience was stimulating and thrilling. I strongly recommend the African Coaching Scholarship to any individual who seeks personal growth.

Over the course of 12 weeks, we had talked about various topics which I felt were necessary for my personal development. During the course of each session, there was always something new that I discovered about myself and the filling of the reflection form always gave me the opportunity to re-visualize the conversations and think about the new awareness that was created and how I can develop myself.

Coach’s interventions and thoughts were always insightful and resourceful. I was always relaxed during the conversations. I would like to say that one can never expect how questions can make him/her realize things he/she should think about carefully. The person who starts the conversation is not the same person who leaves the conversation.

These are a few things I would like to share from my sessions: Reflection always gives us an idea of how things are and what next the plan entails. It also gives us the chance to note down weakness and strengths. Communication is complex because we are diverse. It is a form that defines who we are as a person but it could also prevent or block us from understanding others. Development does not just come from within, it also comes from outside.

In summary, the time invested in this program was worth-while. To anyone willing to participate in the program, I would say that you need to be a co-creator with the coach in order to have a flow and experience the DRIVE process. I am very grateful to Miss Lee for this opportunity.

I’ve had the opportunity to experience two forms of coaching (Individual Coaching and the Team Coaching) programs offered by ACBC with Mrs. Jaugh Ah Lee as the Coach.

During all of these periods of self and team discovery journey in the capacity as a student leader and servant, one thing became very clear and sound, and that is the fact that, building a healthy and an effective relationship is key in our respective daily and cooperate lives, and it mostly begins with oneself.

Also the program helped me to become much more conscious of the hidden reality that, there is a natural and a fundamental gap that do exist between persons in the ways and perspectives that each sees and view things. With this re-awaken consciousness, I learnt that, every person will need to make a conscious effort in trying to close that gap for achieving mutual understanding and shared responsibility.

In all, I think the program and its content is a well-thought packaged program, it is very great and it presents an overall opportunity for anyone who will like to take some time off their daily and routine schedules to reflect on their personal self. The time invested during this is period is definitely a worth-while.

Coach Jaung Ah Lee is an amazing coach with a genuine interest in the success of her coachees. Many inflection points throughout the team's tenure could be traced back to specific sessions that the team held.

She always asked insightful questions that enabled the team to reflect and come up with and implement multiple new initiatives by the end of our tenure. The coaching sessions also helped the team to be more honest with each other and improved the team's cohesion.

Prior to joining your coaching session, I had never participated in one before, and even though I had never participated in such a program, I had a skeptic mindset on what coaching sessions were about in general.

However, having experienced your coaching session, I have gained a positive world view of what it is all about. It was very well structured and this helped me appreciate your dedication.

Your competence in navigating my thought processes has till date helped me to understand the importance of priority, how to compromise in a team without feeling cheated or belittled and most importantly, how to multi-task based on my identified strengths.

The coaching sessions have helped me identify and improve on myself both academically and socially in ways I could not have done on my own, and I am very grateful for the opportunity.

The act of coaching has revealed certain fundamental truths about my understanding of our capacities as individuals and synergistically as a team; and the need for co-creation to champion the same. My team and I have been able to build bridges that connect our stakeholders to our intended actions towards community building via thought-provoking coaching sessions with Ms. Lee, Jaung Ah of ACBC. We have been able to upscale our trust for our community and team, rediscovered ourselves towards relationship building, time management, attention to detail, and ultimately enhanced our professional prowess for effective communication, teamwork, and organizational skills. Our next plans are to walk the paved way while nurturing the next generation of leaders. In a nutshell, the coaching sessions revealed one fundamental truth: We have all the answers we are looking for. What we need is a coach to help us look the right way to get them.

I joined the coaching from November 2021 to October 2022. Each coaching session was interactive and intuitive, and throughout till the end, I built better qualities in myself and as a leader, which helped me during my term in office and has become part of me for my future endeavors. With the guidance of my coach, I learned a few things, which include making the right decisions for myself and the association I was leading. She helped me to sharpen my thoughts on how to prepare for an activity. One important factor to consider is the impression, experience, and impart I want to leave behind. This was possible through brainstorming sessions and self-assessment till a clear and concrete action was made. Other qualities include co-creation, accountability, and building trust as a group and individual through delegating responsibilities, celebrating successes, and effective planning through reflection and corrections. The coaching contributed greatly to my success as the Ghanaian Student in Korea and Associates(GHASKA) leader. I am grateful for the knowledge gained, and I hope it goes a long way in helping me. I recommend this coaching to everyone interested in self-discovery and looking forward to becoming a good team player.

My perspective on coaching changed significantly when I began my coaching sessions with Ms. Jaung Ah Lee. She provided me with the confidence to trust the process, and today, I am celebrating my personal growth in various aspects of my life. I am truly thankful for the guidance and mentorship of my coach, which has transformed my understanding of leadership and made me more open-minded. Through this coaching experience, I not only enhanced my leadership skills but also developed a strong sense of self-belief. I want to express my gratitude to the coach for shaping my leadership journey and motivating me to carry these valuable lessons into the future. I believe that coaching sessions like this are essential, especially for the youth, as we are the leaders of tomorrow.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have been a part of the Africa Capacity Building Community coaching program with Coach Lee over the past few months. Throughout the program, my coach posed some truly thought-provoking questions that led me to gain new insights about myself. This further resulted in a continuous trail of self-reflection that has changed my attitude toward life.

I have developed numerous new behaviors throughout the ACBC program. One is a change in the method of my conversations with all types of relationship engagements. It required me to reflect deeply and overcome constant negatively inclined thoughts that may have hindered my progress. I learned that trust is essential in building social relationships; I experimented with a new understanding of the different possibilities of offending and not offending others while being true to myself and my values. By changing my conversational patterns, I obtained new positions, certificates and created new networks I wouldn't have pursued otherwise. A few of the new networks created for my development were even further attained directly through the ACBC itself. Additionally, I have started journaling my immediate plans in smaller steps, which has helped me stay focused and motivated toward my goals. I had been ignorant of how much having clear and visual thoughts would boost my discipline and motivation toward achieving my goals. I was continually surprised, and sometimes even bewildered, at how this coaching platform of deep conversations and brainstorming challenged me to take different perspectives on things that I previously thought were trivial in my life or even about myself.

When I signed up for the coaching program, I was at a stage of feeling unsure and scattered in mind about my sense of direction and plans in life. After completing it, however, I feel much more confident and self-aware. In addition to the self-capacity building coaching sessions, I also had the privilege of receiving some much-needed spiritual guidance.

I am convinced that the flexibility and structure of the ACBC coaching program, alongside the safe and encouraging atmosphere provided by Coach Lee, is an experience that anyone looking for clarity about themselves, their life direction or plans, for finding that extra source of confidence, or a platform to learn to build new habits and perspectives about their life should consider.

The ACBC coaching experience in 2023 was transformative for both my personal development and our team's growth at GHASKA. The coaching sessions provided by ACBC equipped us with essential skills to navigate and embrace changes confidently. Personally, I developed a stronger leadership approach, while our team became more cohesive and adaptive to evolving challenges. The coaching not only enhanced our strategic planning and execution but also aligned us more closely with our goals. Thanks to ACBC, we are now better prepared to meet future demands with resilience and innovation. I highly recommend the ACBC coaching program for both individuals and teams.

My name is Alyn. I had the privilege of attending three transformative coaching sessions with ACBC Coaching under the guidance of Coach Jaung Ah Lee. These sessions focused on managing stress, strategic thinking, and effective teamwork. The improvement I've experienced has been remarkable, both personally and professionally.

Managing Stress:
Before the coaching sessions, stress was a constant companion. Coach Lee introduced practical techniques to handle stress and mindfulness exercises. She helped me realize that my stress stemmed from constantly worrying about the future, which disrupted my ability to enjoy the present. From that moment, I decided to start living in the moment and stop worrying about the future. Since then, I have seen a significant reduction in my stress levels. Even when I do face stress, I manage it differently. For instance, when I encounter a challenging situation, instead of being trapped in the "why," I focus on finding solutions and asking, "what can I do to improve?"

Strategic Thinking:
Coach Lee's insights on strategic thinking have been invaluable. She provided clear frameworks that helped me approach problems more systematically and make better decisions. My ability to think strategically has improved, leading to more effective planning and execution in my projects. A good example is how her techniques helped me refine a project proposal I was drafting. I was able to bring different partners on board and add various innovations and creative elements in the project proposal.

Effective Teamwork:
One of the most impactful areas was teamwork. Coach Lee supported me to realize the importance of clear communication, active listening, and collaboration. Since then, I have seen my team's cohesion and efficiency improve. We started working together more effectively, dividing responsibilities while considering each colleague's expertise, strengths, and weaknesses. My take was that "The leader's role is not to bring weaker colleagues down or expose them but to help them grow".

Coach Lee is not only knowledgeable but also an exceptionally skilled communicator. Her ability to listen, her supportive approach that pushes the coachee to think outside the box, coupled with her ability to explain complex concepts in simple terms, made all three sessions enjoyable. What I love most about her is her simplicity, which makes everyone feel safe and confident to express themselves. She doesn't rely on old slogans or generic mentorship; instead, she supports you in thinking through your ideas and then refining them together.

I highly recommend ACBC Coaching and Coach Lee to anyone looking to improve their professional skills and overall well-being. Thank you, Coach Lee, for your dedication and expertise!
