Confidence in Professional Women
After 20+ years in corporate marketing I discovered a passion for coaching and decided it was time for a change. Now I help other professionals overcome the daily challenges of work and life. What I have observed while coaching both men and women, is that most challenges stem from a lack of confidence in some area or a lack of boundaries, potentially both. My mission is for every client to leave their coaching engagement feeling more empowered in their professional and personal lives.
During my years in corporate America, I observed a tendency for organizations to miss out on how their human resources can best be used according to their strengths. There’s often a corporate expectation for everyone to conform to one personality type, which in reality, if this were to occur, the clashes between all of the clones would inhibit progress. It is the diversity of our unique gifts and perspectives that allow organizations to thrive. I believe this should be nurtured.
Looking back, I see how valuable a coach or long-term mentor would have been. Now I’d like to offer that to others so they can flourish in their careers and live their best life.
The Personal Journey Toward Coaching
I am a native Chicagoan who moved to Dallas, Texas in 1995. You may find that you can relate to me through these experiences:
-
I had the good fortune to land a job right out of college. …Landed the job, but I didn’t have a clue as to what my strengths were or how to manage the corporate environment.
-
I’ve been “downsized.”
-
I’ve been promoted.
-
I’ve moved to another state and took a salary cut, then later landed the perfect marketing position.
-
I’ve left a company voluntarily. I returned to the same company within a year receiving an exponential increase over my previous salary.
-
I got married, built a house in the suburbs, and gave birth to a perfectly healthy baby girl (at risk for carrying a child at all) – all within a 12-month timeframe. I did all of this while continuing a highly demanding marketing management position with a leading communications technology enterprise.
There were other numerous career and life challenges throughout all of this that I wouldn’t trade because those experiences allowed me to develop the skills and the wisdom that contribute to what I can deliver in my business and in the community today to inspire and serve others.
