As a coach and business owner, I’ve learned that this is key that I take rejuvenating breaks during the year so that I can be of best service to you, my clients, and community.
This is NOT optional.
This is an integral part of living my purpose in the world and giving the best that I can give.
I am recently back from a rejuvenating camping trip to the Trinity Alps in Northern California.
This is one of my favorite combos to get inspired and tap into my inner guidance.

I came back feeling refreshed and clear about what I want to create in my life and business for the rest of 2020.
I connected to the BIGGER VISION I’m here to create for the next five years.
How do YOU get inspired and tap into your own guidance?
Whatever your life and work situation, this is KEY to the success and fulfillment of your goals.
THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL.
I remind this to my clients all the time.
A lot of them experience ahigher level of clarity and success as a result of doing things they enjoy and that rejuvenate them.
I’d love to hear what are your ways and practices.
Comment below and let me know. Bonus points if you share pics!
In service,
Isabelle

“Before starting to work with Isabelle, I spent over 5 years trying to figure out why my current job doesn’t make me happy. Inside of me, I had a nagging feeling that there is something more to my career. I just couldn’t figure out what that is and I couldn’t explain why the everyday career coach couldn’t help me. Isabelle held a workshop and in that workshop, she explained how we need to find our true self. Only then, we can find our true calling.
As I worked with Isabelle, things just clicked. The exercises, the homework assignments, the discussions were so valuable to get me to where I am now. I gained confidence in myself, I discovered who I am as a person, and I saw the possibilities. It’s still surreal how I went from despair and frustration to total clarity about my true calling.
Once I figured out my path, there was no stopping me. I’m on a mission and every day I’m getting closer to making this dream a reality. Doors are opening for me every day, which is just another sign that I’m on the right path. I operate with strong and calm confidence.
Everyone should work with Isabelle at some point in their life – she is not just a career/life coach. She is your mentor and guide to your better self. Because of her, I understand myself better and as such I’m a better person overall.”
This is how she started. Exactly where you are now, with the same doubts, fears, and disbelief that you are probably feeling now.
Imagine being clear and on your path to the career you love by the end of 2020. How would you feel?
It is possible for you!

P.S. I currently have 3 spots open for my “Land the Career You Love” 1:1 coaching program. Is there one for you? Or for someone you know (spouse, relative, friend, co-worker, employee)? Please forward this email to them so that they can take advantage of this opportunity.
I just had a session with one of my clients who is British and currently lives in California. She is moving back to the UK in a few weeks to fulfill her vision of being closer to family and friends.
She spends the last few months of sheltering in place clarifying her vision for her dream career and lifestyle with my help, and now she is clear and making it a reality!
She is moving back to the UK and will be taking steps there to explore career and job opportunities in alignment with the plan I helped her flesh out.
This time of sheltering in place is a great opportunity to look at reevaluating the vision for your ideal career and lifestyle.
Are you taking advantage of it?
Watch the video below to find out why and how you can do it.
P.P.S. You love your work but know people—friends, spouse, relative, coworkers—who don’t? Share this email with them. I’d love to see how I can help them.
In the context of what has been happening in the US and globally in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd, I want to be clear about what I stand for as a human, a coach, a facilitator, and the leader of my community.
This message is long overdue. I’ve been wanting to send it weeks ago. Besides supporting kickass clients, I just wrapped up a time-sensitive and very important project. This is why I’ve been quiet lately. I’ve also been immersed in my own education as a white woman so that I can support the emergence of a just and inclusive society worldwide.
I stand 100% behind “Black Lives Matter.” This is my stance as a person, as a business owner, and as a coach.
As a white woman and as a business owner, I’m committed to doing my own work to:
unpack my own unconscious biases and blind spots around white supremacy and white privilege. If you think you don’t have some, think twice, especially if you identify as white. We all have some. (see resources below)
contribute to creating a safe and equitable space in my community and in the world for my sisters and brothers of color to thrive.
Here are a few resources that I’ve found eye-opening:
Podcast Seeing White – How the social construct of race and whiteness came about in the world (Europe first) and how it evolved in the US. HIGHLY recommended.
Interview with Resmaa Menakem – About the historical trauma that lives in black and white bodies since the Middles Ages and the importance of addressing it.
“The New Jim Crow” – Lecture by author Michelle Alexander about the mass incarceration of black people in the US. A must watch if you live in the US.
The movie “Just Mercy” – Based on the life work of civil rights attorney Bryan Stevenson. You can also donate to the Equal Justice Initiative, the human rights organization he founded.
Some of these resources apply to the US specifically, but not all. The false ideology of white supremacy and white centering is pervasive everywhere in the world. This is the water we swim in; we don’t see it, especially if we identify as white.
There are many more resources, but these are some that I’ve found most helpful so far. Let me know which ones have been helpful to you.
For a world where… ….we can all thrive physically, financially, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually ….and be free to express our gifts and do the work we love whatever the color of our skin.
