Hello, I am KELLY

People may argue about issues based on the known norms, such as policies or even the existing model of operation, their work, their supervisors, colleagues, and family members, and even the decision they made for themselves.

 

Sometimes the "challenging" could help us to grow, however, sometimes it won't. And when it does not help us to find the direction, it turns out to be chaotic and start to harm our own inner peace and affecting our mental health.

 

We do ignore minor stuffs, but we can't really postpone certain things, especially those are important and urgent.

When we review, we may regret on those time wasted, we wasted time and cost on things we shall figure out as early as possible! After all, we need to manage the situation no matter what.

​

Maybe it’s because I studied economics in university, I’m the kind of person who pursues efficiency all the time.

 

Before I graduated from school, I already got onboard in one tech MNC in Taiwan, I mean before I got my diploma.

 

When switching jobs, my last day could be Friday and join the new company on the next Monday.

I always fill up my schedule every day, to ensure I am always learning, with productivity and that gives me a sense of being alive.

 

My daily life was like this for about 10 years. I changed several jobs, I got promoted, I got good salary too.

 

Just when I thought I was about to be able to take a break, I got fired.  

The business that I built from scratch was taken over by someone else. I got informed that I can't enter the workspace. I was notified by a lawyer to discuss on the remuneration to leave the company.

​

It is so unfair.

​

This was the first time I discovered that

I am nothing but my job.

​

I spent quite some time to take a break.

And when I went back to the job market and got an offer, and I found it is so important to establish my position in the company, to ensure the "irreplaceability", thinking that this way I would not make the same mistakes again.

​

I know, you may have similar experience.

 

Then, I still encountered lots of challenges and I started to convince myself, it's gonna be fine after married.

I will have my own new life after married.

 

And, life went on, and things still happened. 

And I really doubted my own capabilities.

​

I started to question:

Am I really not capable to do that?

Am I not competitive enough?

Am I too naive in the business space?

Am I not trying hard enough?

In short, there are 1.08 million question marks in my head.

 

What is happening to this world?

what happened to me?

​

Then I went through various challenges, MNCs have politics and hierarchy, and almost do reorganisation every year; after moved to startups, who may lack of funding, pivot to different directions, even changing its vision and mission, and many many others.

Each experience gave me new skins and new weapons, those enabled me to deal with different difficulties without fear and solve problems with ease.

 

Finally, in the process of constant self-exploration and debugging, I discovered my own uniqueness, so you can see kellychen.co now.

​

Now I advocate "virtuous cycle" and enable people who have confusions or trying to make changes in their career or life. 

​

With those conversation and coaching sessions, I discovered a commonality:

No matter how others define you or evaluate you,

the most important is

Do you believe in yourself?!

 

We may feel disappointed with ourselves when we are stuck in it.

The longer it drags, the more painful it may trigger.

​

In fact, as long as someone can give us a little help, it can actually reduce the time cost for us to explore the goals and meaning of our lives.

​

If you have encountered different setbacks and difficulties in your life journey or career development.

I totally understand your situation.

It is hard to describe the feeling and situation of stuck or stagnant.

​

I have gone through the whole process for years, and you do not need to spent that long time. You can actually enjoy you work and life better and earlier.

,

You build your own life, not be defined by "people say"

​

​This journey is not easy at all,  and I made it.

"If you think you can, you can!"
