Linh's Roadmap

---

When I first came across Richard on LinkedIn, I was at a crossroads in my life. I honestly don’t remember exactly how he appeared on my feed, but in hindsight, I believe it was the moment I needed him most. I was struggling with multiple facets of my life, feeling lost in a sea of uncertainty, overwhelmed by a lack of clear direction. I knew something needed to change, but I wasn’t sure how to begin.

Working with Richard over the past two months has been transformative. More than just providing guidance, he helped me recognize that the answers I was searching for were already within me—I just needed the right tools to access them. The most valuable skill I’ve gained is the ability to guide myself back to my own innate wisdom. That shift in perspective has been life-changing.

This journey wasn’t easy. It required deep introspection, a willingness to ask myself difficult questions, and the commitment to do the work. Through structured exercises and reflection, I delved into my thought patterns and behaviors in ways I never had before. The result? A 19-page document that encapsulates my insights, my breakthroughs, and a roadmap for my future. I never anticipated how challenging it would be to confront certain truths, but now, on the other side of that effort, I feel a seismic shift in the way I see my life.

For the first time in a long time, I feel a sense of clarity and empowerment. What once seemed impossible for my well-being and future now feels not just achievable, but inevitable. Working with Richard has been one of the most profound experiences of my personal growth journey, and I’m incredibly grateful for his guidance.

Before working with Richard, I never realized how much my physical environment affected my mindset. My home office felt uninspired and unintentional, which mirrored how I felt when working there. The “before” space made me feel disorganized, even when I was actually on top of my to do list and projects at work.

Beginning coaching sessions with Richard allowed me to notice and name what was not working and importantly, chart a clear path for how to improve it. Richard pairs a systematic approach with an empathetic style that allows for exploration, iteration, and ultimately action. I could not and would not have made some meaningful changes without him. Due to our work together, my home office is now a sanctuary for me which feels energizing and authentic to my energy. I look forward to going to work each day in a space that was crafted with such intentionality. Because the room feels more cohesive, my mindset about my work has improved. Because my room feels “put together,” so do I.

The best part was that after our sessions, I have retained a new skillset and have prioritized improving the physical space around me. Not only did working with Richard help me realize how my surroundings have a significant impact on how I feel, but Richard helped me recognize my ability to set a creative vision and validated my ability to execute on it. I didn't expect our work together to have such a lasting impact. In the end I became aware of how important it is to continually connect with how I'm feeling in a particular situation or environment and to invest in my comfort and happiness, even if some "little things" seem trivial or low priority.

What started as a simple space refresh became a powerful shift in how I approach my surroundings. Thanks to Richard, I now see my environment as a key part of my well-being and productivity.
