I am a Life and Career Coach. It's the most wonderful job and life in the world!
Why you ask? Because I LOVE what I do and i get to do what comes naturally to me - work with people to find greater meaning and happiness in their life.
It took me years of working in both the profit and non-profit setting as well as many jobs and bosses to finally realize where I belonged in the world. I am a Social Worker by degree and profession and worked for years in the mental health field helping people find emotional well-being. From there, I was fortunate to be able to use my skills and knoweldge and move into the corporate setting to help individuals and companies on an individual contributor level as well as organizational level with health and wellness, leadership, communication and overall human resource contribution efforts. It was fun and envigorating!
I like many others have experienced both voluntary and involuntary severance. Either way, it's a change that affects all parts of your life. Change, either initiatied or foist upon you, I believe, has to be reckoned with to move on and be truly happy.
Making the move to be self-employed, build a business, network, and live the life I love is important to me. I want others to find the work they love, live the life they love and be happy!
