Some of my favorite people have spent years, even decades in careers that don’t work for them. Introverts working in non-stop energy outpouring roles, parents working 12 hours a day desperately wanting greater flexibility and time to be with their kids, and highly collaborative people working alone, behind a computer all day.  

I know these people, and I have been one of these people. I’ve been the person cringing every time I shared my career choice, as I knew it didn’t align with my values. I’ve been the person who felt trapped in a role because I felt like I “needed” the money, but really my scarcity mindset was who needed the money. Or those years when I worked as a leader, but wasn’t actually leading with my voice, instead, I was using the voice I thought I was supposed to use.

I became a career coach to change these cycles. To support my client’s careers being effectively integrated into their lives, for my client’s careers to complement who they are, and for my clients to be authentic and courageous when leading teams, and companies.
