“Your First Real Job: Moving To A New City, Making Big Money, & What Business Casual Actually Means”
I bring my experience being a first generation college student going to school 6 hours away from home, starting my first job in what was a pretty new industry at the time (technology), moving around the country for linear & job promotions (18 times in 24 years to 5 of America’s top cities), and now an experienced Fortune 200 sales leader having worked at 5 Fortune 500 companies, I have mentored many future graduates and young adults hitting that pivotal 3-4 year mark in their careers and I hear the same thing over and over again…
Despite there being more information at our fingertips than ever, they still don’t know what they don’t know. Young adults are confused by the mass amounts of conflicting information and since I made a lot of mistakes in those first 10 years out of school, I become the mentor, coach & consultant I wish I had when I was in my 20’s and 30’s moving from place to place looking for my joy while leveling up my career. Sometimes you need to move across the corporate monkey bars before you can climb the ladder.
I want to help your group find their happy place sooner than I did so they can enjoy it longer. I want them to pursue their dream career sooner than I did because it’s magical when you’re in alignment with your purpose.
My Philosophy
Harnessing Your Potential
I’m sure you can figure this out as you go along. You’re independent and have the internet. But if you really want to start thinking this through, like, ‘exploring’ and putting an action plan together to actually go after your dreams- you’re in the right place.
There’s the cliché that says ‘everywhere you go, there you are.’ As humans we tend to make the same mistakes over and over without stopping to get clear on what our end game is and if we’re on the right path to get there. Whether you’re a YOLO and go, self-sabotager, or a starter (and not a finisher), I can identify your tendency, guiding you through whatever holds you back more effectively.
My philosophy is that you need 3 people in your life to get you to your purpose. A Therapist, a Life Coach and YOU!
A Therapist is like an archaelogist digging up the bones of the past, putting it all together to make sense of your past. A Life Coach is like an architect, starting with where you are today and helping you create a blueprint of steps to move forward on the path to success. You are the construction crew that builds that new life!
