WHEN I WAS A KID, I DIDN'T WANT TO BE A COACH. ⁠ WHEN I WAS A KID, I DIDN'T WANT TO BE A COACH. ⁠ ⁠ I wanted to be all sorts of things including a cooking host, lawyer, radio personality, travel agent, salesperson, and many other things that I’ve since forgotten!⁠ ⁠ Still, looking back, I can now see that there were 3 life choices (some major, some small) that led me to being the coach I am today.⁠ ⁠ Here they are:⁠ ⁠ 1. Taking piano lessons - This started out as my choice (although it didn’t always stay that way), but developing the discipline of working on something, getting corrections from my teacher, making changes, and improving across time really ingrained in me the benefit of partnering with someone who could give me feedback to help me to grow.⁠ ⁠ 2. Taking my first psychology course in high school. It was the beginning of having a way to really understand and make sense of my fascination with human behavior.⁠ ⁠ 3. Deciding to take the leap to start my own business. It was a scary step, and I knew it would challenge me, push me way outside of my comfort zone, and force me to grow in some areas I had been shying away from. But, having gone through the process gave me a lot more empathy and understanding for people facing big transitions. Plus, although we are all different, having gone through it myself, I can definitely communicate from experience!⁠ ⁠ I share this with you because today, as your coach, I feel like I'm living my purpose. I know how to help my clients achieve the transformations they desire. If you've been thinking of working with me, send me a DM today and let's see if we're a fit.

By now, most professionals acknowledge the importa By now, most professionals acknowledge the importance of EQ for workplace success.⁠ ⁠ Research suggests that emotional intelligence is linked to more effective leadership, better relationships, enhanced ability to manage stress, and greater overall life satisfaction and self-esteem.⁠ ⁠ But in a lot of cases, the challenge is how to convince someone that emotional intelligence is important.⁠ ⁠ Click the link in my bio to read my full article on how to convince someone that emotional intelligence is important!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #business #goals #entrepreneurlife #smallbusiness #businessowner #mindset⁠ #inspiration #leadership #highperformance #executivecoaching #success #motivation #entrepreneur #coaching #productivity #mindfulness #career #stressmanagement #mompreneur #success #leader #emotionalintelligence #EQ #softskills⁠

WHAT'S IN A WORD? ⁠ ⁠ Recently, I asked my cur WHAT'S IN A WORD? ⁠ ⁠ Recently, I asked my current and past clients to describe me and my services in one word. ⁠ ⁠ Here are the top 5 most common words I got back: ⁠ ⁠ Insightful, supportive, knowledgable, down-to-earth, and of course - helpful.⁠ ⁠ If these words describe the kind of service provider you'd like to work with, don't hesitate to send me a DM to learn more!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #letsworktogether #business #goals #entrepreneurlife #smallbusiness #businessowner #mindset⁠ #inspiration #leadership #highperformance #executivecoaching #success #motivation #entrepreneur #coaching #productivity #mindfulness #career #stressmanagement #mompreneur #success #leader #emotionalintelligence #EQ #softskills⁠
TIMING IS EVERYTHING, THEY SAY. ⁠ But how do you TIMING IS EVERYTHING, THEY SAY. ⁠ But how do you know when is the right time to hire a coach like myself? ⁠ ⁠ When I look back on my most successful clients, I see a few key patterns that helped them reach their goals with me. ⁠ ⁠ When they hired me, they had reached the point at which they were tired of feeling as though they were perpetually in groundhog day, feeling under-appreciated and stagnant in their careers. They had finally made the Decision (note the capital “D”) that they were ready to make a change - regardless of what it took. They were ready to uncover their blocks and blind spots, and committed to following through and taking action. They didn’t just want insight - they wanted to take practical action so that they could accomplish their goals.⁠ ⁠ If you're reading this thinking, "yes, Yes, YES - that’s exactly where I’m at!“… then you could be ready to take that next step! I’d love to help you to achieve your dreams.⁠ ⁠ Click the link in my bio to learn more about my coaching services!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #executivecoach #careercoach #business #goals #entrepreneurlife #smallbusiness #businessowner #mindset⁠ #inspiration #leadership #highperformance #executivecoaching #success #motivation #entrepreneur #coaching #productivity #mindfulness #career #stressmanagement #mompreneur #success #leader #emotionalintelligence #EQ #softskills⁠
