Makeover Your Career

“Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed on an equal or greater benefit.”

“Do you like what you do, or love what you do?”

My coaching practice centers around a passion for helping women create success by living authentically and working with passion. I help my clients define, pursue and excel in their chosen professional passion. My starting question is always whether you like what you do or love what you do. If you are in a place of only liking what you do, and you’ve decided to stop tolerating work that doesn’t connect to your passion, I’ll coach you through one of four scenarios:

If I attempt something and fail, at least I have the satisfaction of knowing that I tried. If I let the fear of succeeding hold me back from even trying – I’m creating a box or more like a prison for myself. I believe that its often a fear of success not a fear of failure that keeps us from moving outside of our comfort zone. Success requires that hat we step out of what we know to go into the unknown, that we give up unhealthy relationships and habits that keep us from moving forward. Success demands that we give up the excuses that we use as crutches. And success also asks that we are daring enough to be who we are regardless of how others respond to us, facing the haters who want to see us fail.

I’ve always been able to get pretty good jobs: I interview well, I have a strong work ethic, take initiative and am a pretty good problem solver. Despite the hard work I put in, I still found myself in a job that failed to provide the challenge and opportunity I wanted. Don’t get me wrong, [...]

When’s the last time you gave your resume a makeover? More than likely you’ve nailed the obvious requirements: no spelling errors, you are using bullets, your name and contact information are prominently displayed, you’re using the right size font, and you’re keeping it to 2-3 pages, etc… While format is important, it’s the content of [...]

Share information – there is value in people who know how to access information. If you don’t know anything that can help your department or boss – your value goes down. Say something different: If everyone else has something negative to say – you be the one to change the vibe and say something positive. [...]
