Life Coach
Please tell our readers about your background and life growing up?
Where do I even begin?...
Hi, I’m Rose…
First of all, I’m a kindred spirit. A lover of people, peace and harmony.
I’m a wife to my amazing husband of 38 years, and mother to three amazing young men, Jason 34, Julian, 33 and Shannon 26. I’m also a glam-mother to our one and only 9-year-old granddaughter, who brings delight to our life. By heritage, I’m Hungarian, born in the small European country, Former Yugoslavia. I was born to great parents. Parents who worked very hard, who were loving, caring and provided as well as they could to my brother and me. My name was lovingly chosen by my father.
My life started in a lovely city, near the Hungarian border. I have fond memories of my life there. Everything seemed honky-dory. Kindergarten… Piano lessons… Tennis lessons… Performing in school… Walks in the park… White Christmas… Friends… Fun Etc. Then… my parents got an idea that it would be good to move our family down south to a small village where they come from originally. A very small village where there was virtually nothing. That’s when everything changed for me. Literally, slowly, everything went ‘south’.
My time at school… Friends… Confidence… Self-belief… School grades.… Somehow, I got through… In hindsight, I realise that people (kids at school) in the village couldn’t handle me ‘being different. I remember, as a young girl, I loved people. Children younger than me, used to flock around me, as I was talking to them (Probably giving them ‘life principles’, or motivating them?).
Looks like LIFE had a different plan for me than just remaining in that place.
Adversity forced us to leave our country, seeking a better life, a brighter future… Australia was picked as the destination. The country of milk and honey. I was barely 15 when we arrived in Australia, a suitcase each in our hands. Equipped with few words of English, but very hopeful that this is the country that’ll give us that ‘better life’ we’ve been wanting. This country is where I’ve spent most my life. This is my forever home. This is where I set up the life I live now, together with my family.
There is so much more I could share, but I know there’s no room or time for that.
Is there any moment or memory that stands out for you?
I remember, when I was about 13, living a very simple life, I must have noticed the lack around me, the no friends. Noticing that life was so bland and bleak, I made a ‘declaration’ to myself; Some day, I will live a beautiful life; a life of plenty.
As a young teenager, (17,18,19) I made some incredible decisions which ended up being one of those ‘sliding doors’, life-changing decisions. My life wouldn’t be what it is today if I were to stay in those situations.
The day when I attended an Information Night on Life Coaching. That’s when I fell in love with Life Coaching, and that’s when I found my ‘vocation’.
You are a successful Life Coach what are the most valuable lessons you have learned in your professional journey?
I chose Life Coaching on the premise of passion. Passion for people. I always wanted to work with people. I had a deep desire to ‘make a difference in people’s lives. This has been my motto for years.
My most valuable lessons have come from gleaning and learning from other coach colleagues, who have ‘sparked’ strength and confidence in me, that helped me become the Life Coach I am today.
My most valuable lesson or breakthrough, if you like, has been the ‘practice of complete self-expression’. As I go about life, I express who I truly am. To coach from the deepest and most authentic part of me–coach from the heart. I teach and pass on these principles to my clients. Giving myself the FREEDOM to be FREE to be ME.
Is there any useful advice you would like to offer anyone else who may be interested in pursuing the same path?
From my point of view, if someone is considering pursuing the path of Life Coaching, do your research on which organization you’re going to do your course with.
Check-in on how much you really like to work with people. Set yourself up (business system-wise) right from the get-go.
Get an excellent mentor. Engage a Life Coach at least at the start of your journey.
What are three aspects that you learned about yourself along the way?
I’ve learned that I am tougher than I thought I was.
I’ve learned that whatever I set my mind on, and am passionate about, and is important to me, I CAN DO, and will achieve.
Setting a VISION for my life was a catalyst for the life I live now.
I’ve learned that my personality and qualities are my uniqueness, therefore, I am freely and confidently applying them in my coaching and everyday life.
Unfortunately, the world has changed drastically overnight due to the global pandemic COVID-19 and has played havoc on the world economy and mental health. What’s a goal you have for yourself that you want to accomplish in the next year or two?
My goal is to impact as many people’s lives as I can. One person at a time.
With the help of social media, I am able to reach people around the world in larger numbers, like the UK, US, Hungary, Serbia, Germany, Austria of course here in Australia.
One of my main goals is to help minimise ‘SELF DOUBT’ amongst women.
(My niche is Women-Solo Mumpreneurs—I love to empower and inspire women from all backgrounds, really.)
As a professional in media, I am more and more aware that this is the time for growth and change in the way we as individuals/organisations think, operate and face challenges in a changing era. Up-skilling is vital for survival—what are some other ways we can grow and learn to overthrow stagnation?
That’s an interesting question?
Yes, upskilling is important and valuable in this forever changing world.
My personal view on this is that, if we get connected with ‘groups’ that we will feel supported in, where we can learn from others, and thrive as individuals, stagnation can fade away.
Mastermind groups are fabulous too.
Engaging a mentor or a Life Coach has tremendous value if one wants to grow and learn.
Finding ‘new purpose’, new goals for ourselves can also help overthrow stagnation. Collaborating with someone as a ‘confidence buddy’ can help tremendously with growing and learning.
Who is someone you admire, and why?
There are a few people I admire, but one that stands out to me is Oprah Winfrey.
(I am yet to read her Biography.)
I admire her for her inner fight, tenacity, for her determination and hard work of eventually achieving what she has achieved— affecting millions of people’s lives.
What do you consider to be some of your greatest achievements?
1. My marriage to my husband. We are an awesome team!
2. My boys, they are my treasures!
3. Becoming who I am today
4. My life as it is now
5. Becoming a Life Coach
6. Becoming a leader of a women’s Networking group Mums in Business International in my region (MIB Int.)
Tell me three pet peeves.
This is a hard one! Would you believe it, I can’t think of anything at the moment? Admittedly, I don’t focus on these things.
Do you have any other skills or talents that most people don’t know about?
No, not really. I’m an open book. Maybe deep down I am a famous piano player or a Fashion Designer?
What are some things on your bucket list?
I want to live in Budapest for 6 months with my hubby. Travel around Australia, especially going across the Nullarbor.
Live in Noosa for 6 months with my hubby.
What are some causes you care about, support or play a role?
I care about single mothers who are having it tough-raising children and are suffering from mental illness and don’t have a good support network. I know of one such person that I have been supporting for 13 years.
