It is TIME

It is TIME

“anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.”

~ David Whyte

As we transition into a new year, It is time to let go of the things that don’t bring us alive and step into the ones that do.

What are you letting go of? What are you stepping into?

It’s TIME.

Have a blessed holiday season,

Isabelle

P.S. Here is the full poem.

Sweet Darkness
by David Whyte

“Listen
When your eyes are tired
the world is tired also.

When your vision has gone,
no part of the world can find you.

Time to go into the dark
where the night has eyes
to recognize its own.

There you can be sure
you are not beyond love.

The dark will be your home
tonight.

The night will give you a horizon
further than you can see.

You must learn one thing.
The world was made to be free in.

Give up all the other worlds
except the one to which you belong.

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn

anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive

is too small for you.”

Listen to the poem here.

the day I was laid off

the day I was laid off

Twelve years ago, I was laid off from Yahoo! 

It was one of the biggest crises of my life.

(I’m sharing this post I wrote in 2020 as it may help you or people you know who are facing a layoff.)

As I was losing my job, I was also losing my Visa to stay in the U.S.

I wanted to stay in California and change careers to pursue my passion.

It was time.

I kept hearing voices telling me otherwise.

An HR person told me that “I had to choose. I could not have both: staying in California and changing careers.”

My heart was screaming at me:  “no, I cannot choose. I’m not buying this. I think I can have both and I will.”

People were telling me: “What about you stay in the field of User Experience for now. It will be easier to stay in the US.”

I knew in my heart that this was not my path.

Despite the fears, despite the shoulds, despite the voices—internal and external—telling me otherwise…

…I chose the path of my heart and I forged ahead.

I went back to school to study coaching and psychology.

Two years later, I started my business to do what I love the most:  helping executives, managers, and high-achieving professionals stuck in a career they no longer love, discover and create meaningful work that reignites their passion and makes a difference. 

Ten years later, my business is thriving, I work with clients I love, I’m excited about my work… and I’m doing it from California!

If it was not for the layoff, I would not be where I am now.

Looking back, I see that the layoff was a blessing in disguise to help me on my path.

Are you facing a crisis that is trying to tell you something? Are you listening?

I’m where I am now because I listened and I did not choose the path of fear; I did not let the fears—inside and outside—stop me.

I followed my intuition and it led me to where I am now.

One step at a time. One day at a time. One victory over fear at a time.

This is what I tell my clients every time, to choose the path of intuition over the path of fear.

To do the work you truly love, you need to choose the path of your intuition.

Which path are you choosing, Isabelle?

  • the path of fear?
  • or the path of your true desire?

If you are ready to choose the latter but are scared and need help clarifying your next meaningful career, I’d love to help.

I have a few spots available for my 1:1 coaching programs:

  • Roadmap to the Career You Love & Land the Career You Love
  • Elevate Your Purposeful Work & Life
  • Enneagram Discovery & Transformation

I’m offering a special discount or a Bonus Enneagram Session if you sign up by December 20.

If you are interested, email me. I’ll follow up with a few questions to make sure this is a good fit. If so, we will set up a time to chat.

If you love your work but know people (spouse, friends, relatives, coworkers) who don’t, please share this email with them.

Erik started where you are now.

“Working with Isabelle has quite literally been life-changing. After a 23-year career in Project/Product Management, I was burnt out and didn’t know what to do next. I wanted to find a new career direction but didn’t have the first clue how to do so. During my first consultation call with Isabelle, she just reached me on a deep personal level I was not expecting.

Over a 4-month period, I completed a group course with Isabelle that allowed me to discover my ‘authentic self’ and truly discover what work I’m passionate about and what values drive me. Long story short, Isabelle’s course helped me see bad behaviors I had been perpetuating for years, and learn to appreciate the things that motivate/drive me. With Isabelle’s guidance and wisdom, I am now on the path to the career of my dreams that I’m excited to have for the next 25 years.

To say Isabelle’s work is life-changing is an understatement!”
~ Erik Z., Oakland, California.

Do you want to find a meaningful career that makes a difference….or infuse more meaning and purpose in your current career?

If so, this interview is for you. (Even if you don’t have a multicultural background, you’ll benefit from it.)

I had the privilege to be a guest on this globally top-ranking podcast to chat about one of my favorite topics!

“Finding a Meaningful Career as a Multicultural Leader”

In this interview, I share:

  • How the conditioning of my native culture influenced my career path and how it probably did for you too.
  • How to free yourself from your cultural conditioning, and preconceived notions of success, to create your own meaningful career path.
  • A powerful visualization to help you discover your purposeful work. I did it live with Tayo, the host!

Listen to the interview on Apple Podcasts or YouTube.

Happy listening!
