Simone Soares Coaching - Louis Raemaekerslaan

I work in my community as a Community Leader and social articulator and coordinate the NGO "Sim! Eu Sou de Meio". At the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, I was fortunate to find someone as generous as Simone. She was visiting Brazil. We met because she was also very touched to see the reality that Rio de Janeiro was facing from the total omission of the government. She had already delivered 100 basic food baskets to people at social risk. In early April, before returned to her home in the Netherlands, Simone donated 35 basic baskets and cleaning items to our NGO to the families suffering from the social and economic effects of Covid-19. I thought I would never have contact with her again. But Simone is the kind of person who cares about the other. I saw that I would not be just a donation of items. I realised there that I would have someone to count on even to let off steam. But how? I had never even stopped to talk to her. But think of a soul connection. Think of a synergy that came from heaven. I felt that Simone had to enter my life and me in hers. Seems crazy? But it happened; every conversation, outburst, tears, hope, smile and joy, made me believe that great things were to come. And in one of these conversations, we agreed that she would be my Coach. She guided me through my self-Knowlewgde journey, helping me unlock the limiting thoughts and believes I had about myself. One of her phrases have changed my perceptions about myself almost instantly: – "Debora, you are a cathedral, don't accept being a small church!" I had always given my attention, time, encouragement to others. This time Simone was there, in one of the most challenging moments of my life, curing my fears and traumas of the past, being light amid so much darkness that I found myself in. Making me see that the change was from the inside out, and if I couldn't walk on the ground, I could also "fly". She touched me to see that the sky is the limit for those who never stop dreaming and believing. What incredible energy she passed on to me in every encounter, and I was always looking for the next meeting to boost my energy levels and love. At the meetings, I realised that I needed to be a better leader and needed management in my organisation. Simone guided me on resolving conflicts with the team and presented us with one of his lectures for the whole group. It was a wonderful afternoon, where we learn to have constancy, persistence and discipline, and never judge others or measure with our ruler. We learnt that each of us is precious to the organization and need to be respected. What a fabulous day! I saw my team of 20 volunteers super excited and full of dreams for the future and how these impacted all of us collectively. Everything I experienced in training was very profound. We make life processes more complex and painful than they are. I started the training with many tears and ended the cycle with a lot of expectation and success. We couldn't believe our eyes. In just a couple of months, we saw our organization jumping from anonymity to grant several interviews to newspapers and TV broadcaster of great relevance in Brazil. I got several partnerships with various big institutions, particularly one, with a Lider considered by Forbs magazine as one of the 15 personalities that can change the world. I know that this is just the beginning of outstanding achievements or "goals", as she says. When we realise who we truly are, nothing or one can take us away from our victories except ourselves. I am forever grateful for Simone's loving care and her contribution to women like me, who often don't feel the ground due to inner limitations. She touched me how to fly, and I never want to go down, ever again!

Simone is an extraordinary professional, with an incredible sensitivity as a human being and with such an honourable character. She is very committed to what she does and precisely knows how to deal with people and their needs, respect their difficulties, and have patience in finding ways to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. Concerning the process, I confess that I was surprised; it is a re-education that makes us see the paths and correct the difficulties that prevent us from developing into a better person; to live a happier life. She helped me to realize that we have an infinite number of tools already existent in our lives to use in our search for satisfaction. I was able to develop myself and learn how to improve all corners of my life. I recommend this process to everyone who wants to improve their skills and to create the life of their dreams.

“Today, I want to talk about Simone, an extraordinary, caring and loving coach who helped me realize my potential. Who helped me understand that we can do everything we want when we are willing to reconstruct our history. I thank her immensely for entering into my life, for helping, motivating and, above all, guiding me in every step I needed. Achieving success was inevitable without her by my side. My eternal gratitude for having met you, Simone! I have never spoken so frankly to anyone about so many things. I have now a huge desire to make things happen. For me, it was an awakening to new ideas and new understandings of things. Changing can be tricky, and identifying what has to change and understanding how to do it was something that I missed a lot in life. And thanks to you, Simone, now I have the ownership of my future. Now I can be and do whatever I want!"
