Who Am I?
I'm Fenia Bozionelou, the founder of La Route Coaching.
I came into this world with the passion to make a difference in people's lives by bringing them closer to their magic and making them see all their possibilities.
My story
At the age of 28, my partner and I decided to leave our families, homes, friends, and comfort zones behind, starting an exciting adventure in London. I was on a personal quest to uncover my true passions and define my life's direction, as I was struggling with feelings of being lost, insecurity, and disappointment.
By the time I turned 29, I graduated from Kingston University in London with an MSc in Occupational & Business Psychology. In addition, I obtained a certification from the British Psychological Society as a psychometrician. I was beyond proud and happy!
At 30 years old, just before the onset of the Covid pandemic, I secured my first full-time job in London and with it came dreams of establishing
my very own company. Finally, the pieces of my puzzle were falling into place, bringing my aspirations to reality.
By the time I reached 31, La Route Coaching came to life. It began as a passion project and a side hustle while I continued to work a full-time job. During that year, I also ventured into podcasting with the Career Mindset Podcast. Each day brought something new and exciting; there was no room for boredom.
However, when I turned 32, I encountered the initial symptoms of extreme stress and panic attacks. These challenges led me to the hospital, facing severe burnout. Suddenly, my world was turned upside down. How did this happen? I had everything under control! I didn’t expect that! This led me questioning myself: Was I a failure? Was this path truly meant for me? How could I guide others when I couldn't even help myself? The self-doubt and insecurity were overwhelming.
Upon reaching the age of 33, a pivotal decision had to be made. I summoned my courage and took a leap of faith. I left my full-time job to embark on a journey of personal healing and growth. During this period, I directed my focus inward, utilising my personality assessments to reconnect with my authentic self. I embraced my unique qualities and skills with love and acceptance. This transformation allowed me to become the leader in both my career and personal life. Since then, I support my clients with powerful tools to understand who they are, believe in themselves, find their centre through their authenticity, and make the impossible, possible!
If you resonate with my journey, I'd love to invite you to connect with me over a virtual coffee.
I'm curious to hear your unique experiences and explore how we can work together to bring out a new fresh perspective of yourself and start leading with inspiration!
Because true success starts within!
Besides helping everyday leaders as a professional coach, I also do volunteering, I am a guest speaker, I provide talks and workshops about leadership, women empowerment, growth career mindset, culture, entrepreneurship and DEI.
