With my clients, I see two main types of blind posts blocking them from achieving the career of their dreams.

In this video, I’m sharing what are these blindspots and how to transform them.

If you watch until the end, I’ll share with you how you can sign up for my free 25-minute audit of your career blind posts.

In this call, you will uncover:

• the main blind spots holding back your career growth and fulfillment.
• some powerful actions you can take right away to transform these blindspots.

Enjoy and let me know what you find out.

The post What are your career blindspots? appeared first on Brilliant Seeds.

These offerings are based on my own personal and professional journey in the past three years.

I’ve USED these tools PERSONALLY to improve my own career and life.

Everything I do with my clients, I’ve tried myself first.

I WON’T recommend anything I have NOT tried and or that does not yield RESULTS. 

Rewind three years ago, I had done a LOT of work on myself for fifteen years; I thought I was pretty much “done.”

… until I came across two powerful modalities through a workshop I attended.

Then, I realized, that despite all the work I had done on myself and the great progress I had seen, there were some habitual and unconscious patterns I was stuck into that impeded the next stage of my evolution in work, life, and relationships.

These modalities helped me:

1. Identify these patterns and blindspots with incredible accuracy.
2. Significantly transform them, when other modalities had failed to do so.

For the past three years, I dived deeply into them, both for my own personal growth and for my professional development as a coach.

These have LITERALLY transformed my life, my work, and my relationships for the better. 

• All my business and personal relationships drastically improved.
• My confidence took a leap.
• I am owning my truth and my own voice with so much more ease.
• I am freer to be myself in most of my interactions.
• Some of my harshest inner critic voices are gone.
• I don’t believe anymore the limiting beliefs that were unconsciously running my thoughts and behaviors  (such as “I’m not enough”, “something is wrong with me”, or “I am different and alone”).

These modalities have also made a BIG difference for my clients.

As a result, my clients…

• significantly increased their ability to focus, and follow through on their career goals.
• stepped into the talents they had lost touch with for years or even decades.
• ask for what they want and set boundaries with more ease.
• increased their self-worth and confidence.
• freed themselves from the “shoulds” and social conditioning to forge their own path.
• transformed internal critical voices into voices of appreciation and self-acceptance.
• are more comfortable with taking risks, making mistakes, and failing,
• are more authentic, vulnerable, and comfortable feeling and expressing their emotions.
• are more comfortable facing their fears.

This is why I decided to open these modalities to EVERYONE, whether you are a new, current, or past client AND whether you want to reinvent your career or not.

The interview is now LIVE on RTL Podcasts and Spotify.

In this interview (in French), I don’t hold back…

I share personal stories about self-limiting patterns that used to hinder my success in relationships, life, and work.

I reveal how the Enneagram has helped me significantly transform these self-limiting patterns and beliefs and transform my relationships, my confidence, my career, and my business.

When used well, the Enneagram is one of the most powerful and precise tools of personal and professional transformation I know. In combination with coaching and other modalities such as shadow and part work, the Enneagram will help you:

• Identify and move past your main self-limiting patterns in the way of actualizing your career goals.
• Improve your personal and professional relationships.
• Increase your self-esteem and confidence.
• And much more.

This is why I often use it with my clients to help them move past their self-limiting patterns stopping them from reaching their career and life goals.

The post my interview is LIVE… and I don’t hold back! appeared first on Brilliant Seeds.

and I’m doing it anyway. 

I just submitted a proposal to speak at an International Conference!

Being a thought leader and speaking internationally, giving inspirational talks around the world is one of my long-time dreams.

Claiming it publicly is scary.

and I’m owning it. Whatever happens. 

It is TIME.

I’m feeling a strong nudge in that direction.

This is what my heart wants. 

and I’m listening to it, despite fears and doubts.

What about you? Are you listening to your inner impulses? to what is TRULY calling you?

or are you letting fears and doubts decide?

Look within.

NOW. 

It is time.

Isabelle

The post I’m scared and I’m doing it anyway. Are you? appeared first on Brilliant Seeds.

Can you answer this question?

I mean: answer it honestly, without censoring yourself to make a good impression or worrying about what people think about what you love?

If not, that may be one of the things stopping you from finding the career you love.

I’ve seen it with several of my clients.

• Some just cannot answer that question.
• Others have negative judgments (or even shame) about some of the things they TRULY ENJOY doing and they hide them.

How can you find the work you love if you don’t know what brings you TRUE JOY and HAPPINESS or if you are thinking it’s not okay to love what you love?

It is very hard.

The first step is becoming aware of what you enjoy and what your unique ingredients of fulfillment. are, independently of what people think or what you think these “should” be.

This is why we start with that in my coaching programs.

A good way to begin is to collect your happiness (or even “micro happiness”) moments at the end of the day or week. At the end of the day, take a journal and write down the moments, even brief, when you experienced joy during your day or week.

Keep me posted on what you find!

To the work that brings you JOY!

Isabelle

P.S. One of the things that bring me joy and that I used to hide and be embarrassed about is FASHION and dressing up. I used to judge it, thinking it was “superficial”  and “not smart enough” to like fashion and beauty. Fashion is often poo-pooed in our hyper-masculine and hyper-analytical western cultures and considered “weak” or “superficial.” I am not hiding it anymore! This is part of who I am and I own it. I’m not less smart because I LOVE fashion.

The post Can you answer this question? appeared first on Brilliant Seeds.

I found this picture of me when I was 4 in front of my grandparents’ house. My grandma took it.

You may wonder: What has this to do with going for the career and life of your dreams?

It has EVERYTHING to do with it. 

In the past 10 years, I’ve been doing a lot of inner work to heal my childhood wounds and change the limiting beliefs I had about myself since childhood that impacted my life as an adult.

I used to think that there was something wrong with me.
I was not pretty enough.
I was not fun enough.
I was not [fill in the blank] enough.

Thanks to all the inner work, I now know that these beliefs were FALSE.

I’m PERFECT exactly as I am.
There is nothing wrong with me.

There has never been.

NEVER.

…except in my own mind.

When I see this adorable little girl, I can LOVE her exactly as she was.
and send her the love that I could not give her then.

I see PERFECTION in her.
I see BEAUTY in her.
INSIDE and OUT.

I know she has nothing to prove to anyone.

She never had.

What about you?

Are you able to love your younger self and see the perfection in them?

or

Are you still holding negative beliefs about yourself?
That you are not enough or broken in some ways?

Are these negative beliefs unconsciously driving you to PROVE that you are enough?
to make choices in your career and your life to PROVE your enoughness?

If so, this may be why you are stuck in work you hate or not having the work and life you want.

I see it in a lot of my clients.
The deep-seated belief that they are not enough.
and the need to prove that they are enough.

As a result, they make choices or behave in a way to PROVE their enoughness.

• The unconscious false beliefs they took on as a child is still driving their work and life as adults.
• They wonder why they are stuck in a vicious cycle and can’t be happy in their work.

Through the process I do with them, I help them reconnect with their true authentic self, their innate brilliance within. They start realizing there is nothing wrong with them, nothing to change about who they are.

…and things start to shift.

What beliefs are you holding about YOU?

Comment below and share with me. I’m here to support you.

To your brilliance,
To the work and life that reflect that brilliance,

….and that I’ve seen in so many of my clients, especially when they seem really stuck.

Well, I can tell you what it is NOT.
It is NOT:
– a lack of clarity (even if people think it is, and at a superficial level it feels that way)
– a lack of skills or talents
– a lack of job or career options out there

Nope, none of that.

Surprising, eh?
Here is what it is:

Some negative beliefs about themselves they took on as a result of painful life experiences (or conditioning) and the story they made around it:

• “I’m not worthy”
• “I’m too wild”
• “I’m not lovable”
• “I’m not as smart as my brother”
• “I’m not smart”
• “I’m weird”
• “I’m too bossy”
• “I’m too much”
• “I’m not creative”
• I’m not good enough”
• ….and the list goes on and on.

I’ve seen that in SO MANY of my clients that I cannot ignore it. Many times, there is a point in the process we get there, and it’s when the real breakthrough happens.

Because this is the REAL BLOCK.
It is our perception of who we are that affects what we think we can do.

Let me say that again:

It is our perception of who we are that affects what we think we can do.

Let it sink in.
When we clear that, everything changes. And suddenly, my clients realize that clarity was not the problem. They KNEW ALL ALONG what they truly wanted.
It is the shadow of their old wound that made it blurry for them to see what they truly wanted.
When it’s cleared, they are ready to: Give themselves permission to be who they are and love what they love.

From that place, EVERYTHING becomes possible.

So, here are my question for you:

Deep down, do you hold negative beliefs about yourself? If so, what are they?

Be really honest with yourself. This is an uncomfortable place, but this is a necessary place to explore if you want to create the career and life you truly want.

I know. I’ve been there myself.

And this is why I’m ready to go there with you. This is in the shadow that you will find your light. Sometimes, there is no other way.

But the journey is SO worth it. This is where lasting change happens. I guarantee it. I’ve seen it so many times now.

Are you ready?

I’m ready to go there with you!

Feel free to comment below and share. I am here cheering you on.

I believe in you.

P.S. To your brilliant light that is waiting to soar.

The post One of the biggest roadblocks to discovering the career you love appeared first on Brilliant Seeds.

It is often a prerequisite to it.
It is necessary.
You need to say no to what you do NOT want to make space for what you DO want.
There is no other way.

And this is true when you want to do work you love. You have to let go of work that is not for you.

Last week, I had a professional organizer come to my place to help me organize and declutter three big closets I have been procrastinating on. She was so good that she ended up reorganizing my whole apartment!

The post What are you saying NO to? (pics from my apartment) appeared first on Brilliant Seeds.

• First, I chose archeology, more because people thought it was “cool” than because I had a true passion for it.
• Then, I went into information science and user experience. I worked in the field of user experience for 10 years. There was definitely a part of it that I enjoyed, yet that was not my full passion.

• Do you discount what you truly love?
• Do you think what you love is not cool?
• Do you conform to what others or society think is cool?
• Do you think that what you love cannot be part of your career?
• Or do you think you cannot make a living out of it because you don’t know anybody around you doing that?

It is a common block I see with the clients I work with.Well, I am a proof that this is not true. My passion for self-discovery and personal growth is an integral part of my livelihood now. A lot of my friends and acquaintances are people who do the same.Last Friday, I was at the book launch of my friend, Brandon who like me, coaches people to align their lives and careers with their purpose. I was surrounded with so many people like me, who love personal and professional development and work in that field. My tribe! Where I belong.

I don’t feel weird anymore.

So, I know these old beliefs I had were not true. The more I feed my passion for personal growth, the better coach I am. All the classes and books I read helps me in my work. There is no more separation between my passion for personal growth and my work. Both are integrated!

Wow! Imagine…. what that would be like if some of your passions and your work were integrated? 

• What is a passion you are discounting that is right in front of your eyes? … that is so obvious you cannot see it.
• or you discount it because you force yourself to fit the traditional career trajectories you see around you or what you hear is “cool.”
