What Did 2025 Mean to Me?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2025 was the year I began to fully stand on my own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was also the year of new challenges and another step of growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is because 2025 was the first year I worked 100% as a freelancer, without belonging to any organization.
More importantly, it was a time when I stopped seeking recognition from others and started recognizing myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past, I worked as a full-time employee in a company. Later, I worked in a training and education company as a semi-freelancer. I also worked as an adjunct professor at a graduate school, again in a semi-freelance role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, 2025 was different. Although I collaborated with various agencies and partners, this was the first year I worked completely independently, without belonging anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The journey was honestly scary, difficult, and exhausting.\nBut by taking one step at a time, I was able to finish the year feeling truly proud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Book Writing \u2013 99% Complete (Publication Confirmed)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My goal for 2024 was to publish a book.\nSo throughout 2025, I dedicated myself to writing.\nWriting a book while teaching, coaching, and raising a child\nwas far more challenging than I expected.\nStill, I did not give up, and the book is now officially scheduled to be published in late January 2026 through a publishing company.\nThis book started with a common concern I heard many times:\n\u201cCompanies tell leaders to do one-on-one meetings,\nbut leaders often don\u2019t know what to say or how to say it.\u201d\nSo I wrote a book that explains,\nbased on real workplace situations,\nhow leaders can have effective conversations and what points truly matter.\nI look forward to introducing the book in more detail soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Coaching APAC Executives and Team Leaders<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For several years, I have been coaching corporate executives and leaders across the APAC region,\nincluding Korea, Australia, Singapore, China, Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam.\nThis year, the work felt especially meaningful.\nThat was because of the heartfelt reviews from my clients.\nDuring coaching sessions, we laughed together and cried together.\nThrough these moments, I deeply realized what an honor it is\nto support someone\u2019s life and leadership journey.\nI have often thought about becoming a warmer person.\nWhen many clients described me as \u201cwarm\u201d in their feedback,\nI found myself moved to tears.\nIt felt like, just as I truly saw them,\nthey truly saw me as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Role as an APAC Coaching Supervisor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I currently work as a Coaching Supervisor at CTI (Co-Active Training Institute).\nIn 2025, I provided supervision to coaches from Korea, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, and China.\nI supported them by reviewing their strengths, areas for growth, and blind spots in their coaching.\nThis experience was not only about helping other coaches grow,\nbut also about continuously reflecting on and improving my own coaching practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Teaching \u2013 Supporting Leaders\u2019 Growth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2025, I delivered training sessions on various topics, including\nself-awareness and self-understanding for leaders,\nleadership communication,\ncoaching skills such as questioning, listening, and action support,\npsychological safety,\nfeedback skills,\nlife purpose workshops, and team leadership.\nMy main goal in all training sessions was simple:\nto help leaders practice, feel, and truly change.\nOne major milestone this year was facilitating coaching skills programs in English\nfor leaders from European and African companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Learning \u2013 Growing as a Team (Systemic) Coach<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To grow as a team coach,\nI completed about six levels of professional training this year.\nI also worked with startup teams, providing real team coaching experiences\nthat allowed me to integrate theory with practice.\nLearning is still challenging,\nbut it remains the most powerful way for me to expand myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. My Role as a Mother<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before anything else, I am a mother.\nEvery day, I tell my child \u201cI love you\u201d more than five times.\nI hug, kiss, and encourage my child.\nI walk them to school in the morning, eat dinner together in the evening,\nand help with homework.\nRecently, I have also been encouraging my child to sleep independently,\nhelping them build confidence.\nI am not a perfect mother,\nbut I am doing my best with sincerity and love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Closing 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2025 was the year I confirmed my potential\nand truly accepted myself.\nIt was also a year when I consistently practiced living with joy and presence.\nEven in fear, I did not stop.\nI learned that I can stand firmly as myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Goals for 2026<\/strong>    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022\tPublish my book and achieve bestseller status<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Build the \u201cCoach Anna\u201d brand: Write one Korean and one English blog post each week<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Enjoy running a YouTube channel (one video per week)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Obtain a team coaching certification<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Achieve your desired salary<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2026, the\u00a0Be clearer, have more fun, be yourself<\/strong>\u00a0I'll live.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
