I first encountered the concept of coaching in 2008.
At the time, I was working as an HR manager, and across industries there was a growing conversation: leaders needed to move beyond traditional management approaches and develop coaching skills.
There used to be a lifestyle that was very trendy for a while; “Hygge.” Its books have been translated into Turkish, articles have been written about it, and it has become the recipe for answering the question “How to be happy?” I have greatly enjoyed making many elements of this philosophy a part of my life (even if I haven’t defined them under this title) and wanted to incorporate some of them into my life even more.
For a long time, the word polarity meant opposition to me.
A sense of conflict.
A forced choice between two sides.
And often, the tension of feeling that whatever I chose, I would be denying the other.
In my mid-thirties, as I began reflecting more deeply on myself, I started to see something different.
