The Backstory: It’s Personal

In 2006 I stopped settling and began working on creating my ideal career and life.

It only only took me hitting professional rock bottom to get there:

• Multiple times a day I’d seriously consider jumping out the 2nd story window to collect workers comp, (and get some time off from my 80 hour weeks) but I’d probably only break a leg or two. 
• There were a few minor health issues – Up 50 pounds and having anxiety attacks in the middle of my morning commute (such fun)
• I was struggling to lead a team of 20 doing work that I didn’t really believe in with a company that had zero respect for time off.

This led to having the hardest conversation of my life with my boss. The full story is here

Spoiler alert: I got fired in front of all my direct reports. (more than a little embarrassing!)

It was at that time I decided that life was too short to live stressed and mis-aligned with my work. I knew that there had to be a better way. I was determined to find it. I spent the next 10 years learning everything I could about career happiness and career change.

You may not be threatening to jump out a window, but I bet at least one of these is true for you:

• You have options, but you’re stuck at determining what’s next. “I’m hell bent on leaving my company but it pays really well.” 
• You’ve been thinking about changing for a while, but haven’t yet done anything that moves you forward (except for poking around on indeed, LinkedIn or glassdoor…which really hasn’t done that much for you)
• You’ve taken opportunities that you fell into, now you want to be more intentional about your career for the rest of your life.

It turns out that if you want work that fits your strengths and values, I’ve learned it’s possible. Now many years later, after helping thousands of people change to their personal ideal version of work, I’ve learned that it’s there if you want it. We’ve taken leading research and used it to be able to help you figure out what you need in your ideal career.

It’s not easy, but we can absolutely help!
