Embracing Leather Fashion: My Journey with Deni_C as My Coach

Discovering the Power of Coaching

At the beginning of this year, I decided to work with Deni_C as my coach. I had some doubts. I had just completed my coaching training a few weeks earlier and became a certified business coach. So, why would I need a coach myself?

For me, it was mainly about leather fashion. I wanted to develop an inner attitude that freed me from the opinions of others regarding my appearance. Who better to explore this with than Deni_C? Her presence on the POL-Website and her book, “Power Of Leather”, had already encouraged me to embrace my passion. But what could I expect from our coaching sessions?

In her book, Deni_C defines four levels of people's attitudes toward wearing leather. My goal was to move from a low Level 2 up to Level 1. Would three sessions be enough? What kind of impulses would Deni_C give me? Would it just be simple advice like, “Just do it. Don’t care what others think or say!”? Or would she listen to my concerns and encourage me with constructive input? I wanted to know if she would make it clear that I alone am responsible for my development and that the key to success is already in my own hands.

One thing was crucial for me: if we were going to talk about leather fashion in the sessions, then I wanted to wear it during the coaching, too.

If I wasn’t willing to do so in front of the very person who embodies leather passion, how could I possibly manage in front of people who don’t share this passion? All sessions turned out to be a real source of encouragement. Why? Because Deni_C listened attentively.

She didn’t give advice but invited me to question my limiting beliefs and replace them with empowering perspectives. I realized then that this is about much more than clothing.

The Journey of Self-Discovery

It’s about self-awareness, self-reflection, self-efficacy, self-confidence, self-trust—and above all, self-responsibility. All of this can be strengthened, sharpened, and deepened through one magical force: the power of dialogue at eye level—between coach and coachee, carried out with genuine interest, seriousness, and commitment. Deni_C was always open and supportive. Yet, she was also clear and critical, but never judgmental.

The process was motivating, meaningful, and enjoyable, even though it was also challenging. Good coaching, however, is not only about good conversation. Body and mind interact. That is why, especially when it comes to moving confidently in one’s favorite clothes, it is vital to experience this in the coaching session itself. Sharing openly with the coach about the feelings that arise is essential. In these moments, Deni_C repeatedly proved how trustworthy she is.

The Transformation

Today, I feel relaxed and joyful whenever I choose to wear my leather outfits (and by now, I have quite a few), without worrying about how I might come across. I am convinced that this very attitude creates a positive presence—one that resonates with the people around me. Social relationships are important to me, and I believe that my newfound confidence enhances these connections.

Thank you, Deni_C, for accompanying me on this exciting journey toward what I consider a true dream goal: Level 1. I wholeheartedly recommend this coaching program to anyone encountering similar challenges.

Conclusion

In conclusion, working with Deni_C has been a transformative experience. The coaching sessions provided me with the tools to embrace my passion for leather fashion fully. I learned to challenge my limiting beliefs and replace them with empowering perspectives. This journey is about more than just clothing; it’s about self-discovery and personal growth.

If you are considering coaching, I encourage you to take the leap. The right coach can guide you through your challenges and help you achieve your goals. Embrace the journey, and you may find yourself transformed in ways you never imagined.
