This is the story of a Midwestern girl who grew up outside Chicago. In my ‘50s I walked away from a lucrative position in the energy trading industry knowing it was time to change. I was unaware how this decision would ignite an incredible journey that would lead me to the fulfilling and rewarding career I have today. This personal and professional journey would reunite me with an idea and passion I first had decades earlier to help others achieve.
My professional life was already interesting. At 29 years old I was asked to help launch a nuclear fuel brokerage business. It was a perfect fit for a Midwestern girl who grew up outside Chicago with a love of science and a desire to travel internationally.
This singular opportunity taught me the fundamentals on how to build a successful, global business which I have used repeatedly since then.
Traveling the world for this business was fascinating yet what inspired me most was realizing how similar we are when facing career and life decisions, regardless of our background, position or culture.
I felt drawn to help people learn how to design and execute strategies to cope with stress and fatigue, how to manage teams or change their career for something more fulfilling though unsure of what that was.
Starting over later in life was different from 20 years earlier. I invested in programs that promised a lot and failed to deliver. I wanted better!
This motivated me to create my own program and method to kick start change leveraging my diverse background as investigative reporter, broker, global executive and business owner. The experience led to my first book, ‘More to Give-Stepping into your new life at any age’, and to my business of helping clients live happier and more fulfilling lives.
So if you’ve ever had the itch to do something different in your 50s, 60s, or 70s, I’m here to help you design and navigate that journey.
Do you have the itch to do something different?
How would it feel to wake up every day feeling inspired and successful because you’re doing what you believe you were meant to do? My clients are executives, solopreneurs, traders, teachers and anyone who’s reached a crossroads in life where they feel pulled or inspired to do something different and are in search of help getting there.
My clients question the sanity of leaving a secure position or struggle with the perceived loss of social status by giving up their title or job, or fear they’ll fail and worry they may be too old to change. Many no longer know what their life purpose is yet desire to become fulfilled.
The difference between my clients’ success and others is that they’ve decided to believe enough in themselves to seek help with me.
