I Knew There Was More...

You’re on the hamster wheel. You’re keeping it spinning. Fast. You wonder “Am I making progress?… Am I making an impact?… Do I even deserve to be in this role?…”. You’ve worked your tail off for years. Sure – you’ve received accolades and awards, promotions and praise, but there’s also this feeling of “Is this it?” I’ve been there and I understand. I know that there’s more to your life and career because I’ve lived your story.

As a leader in one of the largest global organizations, I had everything I could have ever wanted professionally, or so I thought. Incredible growth opportunities. Trajectory. Mentorship. Compensation. A motivated and successful team. Yet, I knew I was made for something more. I knew a professional life existed where I could feel fulfilled and in complete alignment with my values, without sacrificing my two most important jobs as a mom and a wife. So I got coaching.

Through a journey of self-discovery, I found my real purpose, set goals, and took action. I focused on what I really wanted. I stepped outside of my comfort zone. I went back to school and got certified as an Executive and Leadership coach so I could help other parents in leadership roles navigate the daily pressures of work and family. Now, I can truly say I am living out a life-long dream that I never thought was possible. I am living proof that it is possible.

Your dreams may not look like mine but I know this: your dreams won’t become a reality by wishing on stars, waiting for “the right time”, or living in the stories you’re telling yourself about why you can’t. You know there has to be more to your life and career – and there is! Together, we will dream big. I will challenge you. You will discover your amazing strengths. You will take leaps. And you will sit in the driver’s seat of your life.

Let’s chat. I want to partner with you to uncover your true potential.

You can be a transformational leader, an outstanding performer and a trusted advisor while also being a kick-ass parent. It’s time to live the life of your dreams.

Put yourself first for a few minutes and let’s connect.
