Covid could not stop them!

Covid could not stop them!

My clients’ visions are coming true and Covid did not stop them!

Lately, I’ve received many updates and celebrations from clients who are making their dreams come true. I’m getting so many of them that I can’t hardly keep up or share them all…

There are clients who have worked with me in 2020 during the pandemic.  

The visions I helped them clarify during our coaching work are happening!

Here are a few of them:
  ✅ A director of marketing and communications with 20 years of experience and a passion for fashion just started an online fashion store—I will share it with you as soon as she gives me the green light—, has taken a few small business clients who need assistance with marketing and presentation coaching, and is experimenting working remotely with her husband, which is part of their dream lifestyle.

✅ A successful software consultant with 20 years of experience, initially depressed and feeling like a failure, was able to see his work in a totally new way. As a result, he grew quickly in his executive leadership role while embarking on a new career as a coach and trainer.

✅ A project manager with 12+ years of experience applied for the health coaching certification program she wanted and just made an offer on a house in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania where she moved with her husband to be closer to her family.  

✅ An actuary turned data scientist living in San Francisco with her husband achieved her long-time desire to move back to England to be with family and friends and is getting closer to buying a house in London.

✅ A public relations and communications specialist, initially stuck, stressed, and demoralized in her work, became so clear about her strengths, true passions, and vision for her career through the coaching process that she was able to seize an opportunity for a new fulfilling career that came right in front of her. This work will allow her to fulfill her purpose of stewardship and keeping the legacy of the past for future generations. 

All of these are visions we clarify together during the coaching process.

All of these clients started working with me 8 to 12 months ago in the midst of the pandemic.

Covid did not stop them!

If they did it, so can you. 

Want to be next on the list?
Or maybe someone you know (spouse, relative, friend, coworker) who is stuck in their careers. 

I’ve 3 spots open for new private clients and I’m currently taking applications for these spots.

>> Apply here or forward this blog to someone who could benefit from the help. 

It is for seasoned professionals and entrepreneurs who want to discover the next career they’ll absolutely love and the confidence to make it happen. 

I look forward to being of service to you or someone you know,

P.S. This is what Ryan says about his experience working with me. 

“After 20 years in the tech industry and 2 major depressions, I was finally ready to take seriously the fact that I didn’t love my work like supposedly people did. I had been successful in consulting, building a new offering from the ground up, creating a new organization around it and selling over $150M of new clients in ~3 years and yet I was depressed and felt like I was a complete failure.

Isabelle’s process of identifying the “personal blueprint” (focussed on the “authentic self”), using tools very different from the traditional Myers-Briggs personality typing, brought tremendous insight into aspects of my personality that were huge assets and strengths that I had previous taken for granted or barely noticed and which had really powered much my success. It also helped me to become comfortable with what didn’t come naturally to me in a way no other personal development work I’d ever done (StrengthsFinders, MBTI, etc) had been able to do. For the first time, I was able to take seriously the often extremely powerful feedback I had gotten from others and fully accept that the aspects of myself – loving working to serve other people, coaching, mentoring and charting ambitious visions for teams around me – that I had previously overlooked, undervalued or simply denied (thanks to long help beliefs from childhood about what I was and wasn’t) were very real and in fact powerful. This sent me on a journey of self-development that ended in not abandoning my career at all, but being able to see it in a completely new way. That has allowed me to access resources I din’t know I had and grow immensely and quickly in my executive leadership role while at the same time also embarking on a new career simultaneously.”

Why I do this work

Why I do this work

This one really touched me…

I just received a few five-star reviews from clients who just graduated from my signature Land the Career You Love 1:1 program.

This part below really touched me as it encapsulates why I do the work I do and why it is so important to me.

“After 20 years of climbing the ladder, feeling exhausted, and not feeling appreciated. I was mentally done with no idea what to do. I hired a few career coaches, that didn’t help.

BUT — Then, I found Isabelle or should I say “she found me”. Isabelle was my guiding light to finding me. […] She truly helped me, understand me, that authentic me, what makes me happy, me.”


I’m here to help you find that true authentic you that has been buried under years, often decades of social pressure, family pressure, toxic indicators of success, and more.

 If you, or someone you know, is stuck in work you hate, this is why. Don’t look any further.

Unlocking your true authentic you is the key to discovering the work of your dreams.

This is my mission.

Finding your Why in 2021

Finding your Why in 2021

“I found my Why.” 

This is what my client said last week after several months of working together. 

She had been looking for quite a while before working with me and could not find it. 

I have heard that many times for the past seven years I’ve been in practice. My clients had been looking and looking before working with me and could not find it. 

Some clients even said they took a course with Simon Sinek—a well-known inspirational speaker and author of five books, including “Start With Why”—or listened to other inspirational speakers—such as Tony Robbins and Brendon Burchard— and they are still clueless about their “Why,” their true calling. 

Then, they start working with me through my rigorous step-by-step process and they find it!

Listening to inspirational videos or taking a short online class is most often not enough to uncover your true calling and know with confidence this is it. This is why I created a dedicated, 1:1, step-by-step process to get there. And it works!

For the past seven years, I’ve helped hundreds of clients find their “Why.”

I’m not your traditional career coach. I help people who are ready to find their career calling—or their dream career—, not just a job. 

Will 2021 be the year you find your “Why” and the career that aligns with it?

Imagine ending 2021 crystal clear about your calling and doing work you are passionate about. How would that feel?

I’d love to help you get there. 

This is my calling, helping you find yours. 

Are you ready?

Apply here if you want 2021 to be the year you find your Why.

To your brilliance,

Isabelle 

P.S. Maybe you are clear on your “Why” already but know someone (friend, spouse, relative, co-worker) who can’t find it. Please forward this email to them.

Time for some shoutouts to my amazing clients and their success in 2020!

Wow…it blew my mind!

“Wow”

This was my reaction when my client, Davis, told me last week he made it to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list!


Davis started working with me last May to increase his clarity, motivation, and confidence in building his second business out of his passion for teaching and entrepreneurship.

Since then, he has been totally rocking it. 

Removing blocks after blocks in our sessions and stepping even more into his talents for entrepreneurship.

He just published his first book “How To Start a Business (In 50 Pages)” that I received in my mailbox today.

Watch out!  He is up to big things in the world. 

You can too!

“From despair and frustration to total clarity about my true calling”

“From despair and frustration to total clarity about my true calling”

“It’s still surreal how I went from despair and frustration to total clarity about my true calling.”

This is what my client, T.G., just wrote as she graduated from my “Land the Career You Love” 1:1 coaching program.

Read her full testimonial below—the 33rd five-star review on Yelp for Brilliant Seeds. 
 

****************


“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.”
