There are two key pieces of advice I often give my clients as they navigate their career shift. They are so important that I want to share them with you too.
They apply in all kinds of situations, whether or not you are wanting to change careers.
Check them out in this video and let me know what you think.

As a kid, I was different from most of my family.
I was emotional, sensitive, and intuitive. They were more practical or intellectual.
The school I went to in France emphasized rational and analytical intelligence.
This is the case with the French education system in general.
As I reflect back on it now, I did not feel like I fully fit in or that being me was okay.
So, I started to work hard to “fit in,” to feel loved and seen…and to prove I was “intelligent.” In school, I worked hard to be #1, unconsciously hoping I would finally be seen and accepted by doing so.
But, it felt like it was never enough, so I kept working harder and harder…to be the best, to succeed, and to be seen.
To belong.
All of this was unconscious, yet it was driving a lot of my decisions and ways of being. Including my college and grad school choices.
And ultimately my career.
I followed the same patterns of behavior in my career choices for 10+ years.
Either choosing career options to prove I was smart enough.
Or, when doing work I liked, such as User Experience research, putting lots of pressure on myself…
I achieved great success in my career and life, working for one of the biggest Internet companies in the world at the time–Yahoo!–, becoming bilingual, and moving from France to Canada, and then the US.
But I reached a point where the “proving to be smart” was just not working anymore.
I was miserable at work. I knew this was not the right career path for me long term. This was just not sustainable.
Something else was calling me.
Something, where I could be my full self at work–100% myself–without having to prove anymore, and where I could use ALL my natural gifts and fulfill my purpose.
Something that would allow me to leave my mark in the world, not someone else’s mark.
Can you relate?
⏩ Are you a high achiever who is unconsciously using your career or business to prove you are intelligent enough? or to belong? to fit in?
⏩ Have your career decisions up to now been driven by that desire?
⏩ Or, if you somewhat like your work, is there still a big part of you who is trying to prove that who you are is enough?
⏩ Are you in a career where you cannot bring your whole self? and you have to pretend or put a mask on, leaving some parts of you behind?
I feel the pain of that. I get it.
You are not alone. I’ve been there… and also, out of it.
I know the path out of this!
Through my own journey, my training, and through guiding hundreds of people in my coaching practice, I’ve discovered the keys to getting out of this vicious cycle once and for all…

As I went to the beach after work on Monday, I saw sea turtles coming out of the Ocean. At first, two, three, four… and then a total of twenty! It was magical. 
Working on an exciting brand new training during the day (more to be revealed soon!) and swimming with turtles in Maui after my workday is my dream career + lifestyle combined.
Yes! Maui… This is where I am for three weeks.
Travelling and working remotely has been a dream of mine for a long time, and I’m taking steps to make it happen this year.
What is yours?
If you could have ANY combo of work + lifestyle you want, what would that be?
Imagine it ALL. Exactly as you want it. On your terms. Whatever they are.
If you already have it, what is the next thing you are longing for? More balance? More freedom? More time with the people you care about? More time to travel?
Manifesting it starts with visualizing it!
It’s how I start every single time. Getting really clear about what I truly want, NOT what I should want to “look good” or to “appear successful” according to external standards of success, but what my heart truly desires for my fulfillment.
Doing work that lights you up and makes a difference in the world is also about having the lifestyle, freedom, and balance you want, on your terms! What is the point of doing work you love or being very successful if you are living a life in conflict with your values?
To your next-level dream career and life,
Isabelle
P.S. If you or someone you know need help clarifying and stepping into your next-level dream career and lifestyle, I’ve space for 2 new private clients at my current pricing. Apply here to explore working together.
I don’t do quick fixes.
I don’t help you find a career just to bolster your resume.
I don’t help you find a new career that matches your conditioned notion of “success.”
I don’t help you find a career based on your current or old conditioning and limiting beliefs.
I don’t help you find your next career based on the market, what jobs or industries are “hot”, what “makes sense”, what you “should do.”
I don’t help you stay in the false belief that something is wrong with you and you must work harder to fix yourself and find work you love.
Why?
Because all of these don’t work.
It’s by following these scripts that many high-achieving and “successful” professionals stay stuck in careers that don’t work for them for years, even decades.
I help you unlock and step into your next-level career dream that allows you to live your purpose and make the difference you are here to make on the planet… without sacrificing your lifestyle and balance.

…so that you stop the cycle of being trapped in the wrong career once and for all.
…so that you start living your purpose and make the contribution you are here to make.
I have space for 2 new clients in my private coaching before I raise my current price.
