About Us Business Coach

The founder's story of how she developed a coaching business around her Calling:

Like a lot of folks, I thought that if I did all the right things, I'd be happy. I was lucky enough to attend some world-class private schools for my primary and secondary education; I fell in love with the field of Psychology when I was sixteen and went on to college where I received a bachelor's degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. I then proceeded to get a Master's degree in Counseling specializing in Career Development

I landed my dream job as a Counselor for the local public schools and was on my way to making a difference in the world. I felt called to help people at an early age and I had done everything I needed to do to fulfill that calling. To the rest of the world, it probably looked like I was in the perfect place to live out my passion, purpose, and values. I could sit back for the next 25 years in the security of a job with a public institution and then collect my retirement.

There was just one problem, I was bored and increasingly miserable. I tried everything to rekindle the passion I felt when I first starting working. I joined committees, volunteered, bought a house and car under the assumption that more was better. After a couple of years of trying to do more to gain a sense of fulfillment, I was left with a feeling of exhaustion.

No matter how I rearranged my life, there was still something missing. I then decided I needed to change careers. Clearly, I had made a mistake somewhere in this process and not entered a field where I could genuinely make a difference in the world. So, I enrolled in another master's degree program at the local University. That lasted about a week as I didn't feel any excitement at all for the coursework.

Now I was really lost. After praying and asking for guidance daily, finally the answer came. A friend of mine read an article in New Age magazine about a new profession called, Coaching. I was intrigued by the concept and had also been looking around for technology to help my private practice clients. Seemed I wasn't the only one who was unhappy. In my private practice, I worked with adults to help them make career changes. Sometimes, they would make radical job shifts after our work together.

I would hear from clients months later that despite moving into the "dream" job, they still weren't happy. Two things seemed to account for this. First, the rest of their lives weren't in good shape; they had no balance in their relationships, fun, personal growth etc. Something I could totally relate to and secondly, the new job also failed to give them a sense of fulfillment. Once they settled in, they saw that they had traded one set of shortcomings for another. I began to realize that there is more to life than just work (yes, I 'm a recovering workaholic) and that human beings don't fit neatly into job descriptions. We are multi-faceted, complex creatures seeking greater and greater levels of self-expression.

I started a coaching training program with Coaches Training Institute (CTI) and within two hours, I knew this was exactly what I wanted to do with my life. Over the next two years, I built my coaching business to the point where I could leave my "safe" job. I've been completely self-employed since 1999 and aside from the occasional fear that comes up, I've loved every minute of it. I get to live my values of Love, purpose, growth, collaboration, and harmony. I'm also blessed to be on the faculty of CTI as a Certification Program Leader.

I really see how my gifts inspire others to live their purpose and follow a their Calling which honors the true Self and makes a positive impact in the world. By working specifically with this niche, I get to multiple my purpose to create a world that works for everyone. I can't do it alone. So, not only do I have great collaborations with other coaches, I have great collaborations with my clients. As together we can make a difference in the world, one step at a time.

I have been on a spiritual journey for many years. Learning to meditate at the age of ten, I've always had a deep faith in God. I honor all paths to God and mine has been primarily through the study of New Thought and metaphysics. Two years ago, I accomplished a major goal in my life; I became a Master Certified Coach. The marriage of my deep spiritual understanding with my practical coaching self compels me to put my Calling out into the world. Lately, I've noticed how all my life Spirit has been using me to help make other people's dreams come true. You can do it too. Namaste!
