Ingy Monir Kansoh is one of the coaches that we found this month and we did a little interview with her. She impressed us with her honesty and goodness.
She is an educator turned life coach, whose journey illuminates the power of resilience and self discovery. With a career spanning over a decade in education, she found her calling in supporting teenagers through their daily battles. Yet, it was her own struggles with food and body image that ignited a deeper passion for addressing the root causes of such challenges.
She found solace and purpose in psychology courses, eventually transitioning into the realm of life coaching. But behind her professional facade lies a poignant tale of familial rupture. The unexpected departure of her father shattered the illusion of familial unity, leaving her grappling with profound questions of love and belonging. Yet, it is through this crucible of pain that she emerged, resilient and fortified, shaping her coaching approach with empathy and understanding.
Her distinctive approach lies in fostering independence, enabling her clients to emerge as their own architects of change, armed with newfound clarity and resilience. As she continues to illuminate paths to serenity and self discovery, she exemplifies the transformative power of coaching rooted in authenticity and compassion. Here is what she said.

First of all, how are you and your family doing after these Pandemic times?
The pandemic has been a mix of challenges and opportunities for me.
While it was tough not being able to see loved ones, especially those who were traveling, it helped me appreciate the moments we have together.
Additionally, it provided a chance to slow down and refocus on what truly matters in life.
How did the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?
The coronavirus pandemic had both positive and negative impacts on my clients.
On one hand, they developed better hygiene habits and gained awareness of how their actions affect others’ health.
However, it was a challenging time for me personally as I lost my mother in law to the coronavirus.
Her passing deeply affected me, and it took time to recover from the loss.
Despite the difficulties, I made bold decisions such as leaving my job to pursue my passion for helping others.
I believe she would be proud of the path I’ve chosen.
What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?
This experience taught me the invaluable lesson that nothing in life is permanent and that we should never take anything or anyone for granted.
It’s crucial to savor every moment with the people we love.
The Origin:
Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?
I’ve been an educator for 13 years, with a passion for supporting teenagers through their daily challenges.
My interest in nutrition stemmed from personal struggles with food and body image.
As I delved deeper, I realized my passion extended beyond dietary advice to addressing the root causes of eating issues.
This led me to pursue psychology courses and eventually transition into life coaching.
What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?
My biggest obstacle was my dad leaving my mom, which came as a huge shock as I always believed we were a close knit family.
His actions were incomprehensible to me, and it felt like he didn’t show love for me or my brother.
I’ve been working through this issue for a long time, and I’m grateful to be in a better place now.
The Coaching Style:
How do you innovate with coaching your clients?
My approach to innovation stems from learning as much from the client as they do from me.
By fully engaging with the client and guiding them to practice the skills they wish to develop, I assist them in gaining a clearer understanding of their capabilities.
What’s unique about your coaching approach?
My approach stands out because I empower my clients to become independent problem solvers.
I provide them with the necessary tools and guidance to tackle their own challenges.
What benefits do your clients get after working with you?
I assist my clients in cultivating a sense of calmness and serenity, enabling them to shift from a negative perspective on their struggles to a more positive outlook.
This transformation helps them perceive their challenges as more manageable and facilitates finding effective solutions.
Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?
I empower my clients with tools like identifying their life purpose, journaling, understanding emotions, changing negative thoughts to positive ones, recognizing the inner voice that hinders their growth, and practicing empathy to understand different perspectives during conflicts.
The Impact:
If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?
I firmly believe that no conflict is worth fighting over, and that achieving world peace is indeed possible.
What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?
We should fight for what we love and refuse to get trapped in cycles of pain.
Instead, we must strive to make the most of life’s opportunities.
Your final thoughts?
I’m enthusiastic about the chance to be part of a team that shares my vision of making a difference and contributing to the world.
It would be a privilege to join you.
