The post 2 Things That Can Make Or Break Your Career Shift Success appeared first on Brilliant Seeds.

 I’ll be delivering it LIVE from Maui.

It’s FREE to attend. 

It will take place on Thursday, July 8 at 5 pm PT / 8 pm ET.
If you cannot join live, the replay will be available, so don’t let the day and time stop you from signing up!

I would love for you to join!

This training is the result of some labor of love I’ve been engaged in the past four months to provide even more value to you. The content is brand new and I’ll share things I’ve never shared before

—> If you have been curious about my approach and what gets my clients such powerful results, this is the BEST way to experience it at no cost.

—> If you already know and have experienced my work as a client, in my workshops, or on a private call, this is a great opportunity to deepen the work and get a new influx of inspiration on your journey.

This free masterclass is perfect for you if…

• You are a high-achieving professional, entrepreneur, manager, or executive who has achieved great success but is bored and lacking passion for your current role or industry.
• You feel trapped, lost, or confused in your career.
• You want meaningful work that allows you to make a contribution and impact in the world, maybe leave a legacy, but you can’t figure out what that next work or career is.
• You have so many ideas that you don’t know how to choose the right one.
• You don’t know whether your current career, business, or industry is the right path for you or not.

* Even if this masterclass is primarily geared towards high-achieving and successful professionals, you will still get value from it even if you don’t identify as such. 

In this masterclass, I’ll share with you…

…the secrets to aligning your unique talents with your unique purpose, so you can have a dream career making a positive difference in the world.
If you’ve been searching for this kind of meaning and freedom for a while and are starting to feel stuck or hopeless, I know this promise can seem far-fetched. But after years of helping hundreds of clients successfully land their dream careers, I know there truly is one key element that consistently unlocks this hidden path and I can’t wait to share it with you!
 

You will learn:

• The #1 mistake high-achieving professionals make when trying to find their next career and how to avoid it.
• A decision framework for reaching total clarity and confidence about your next career, no matter how long you’ve been searching.
• The four elements of your unique career blueprint that will unlock your next dream career, most impactful work, and the confidence to go for it.
• The five steps to go from bored and trapped in your career to thriving in a career you absolutely love that allows you to live your purpose and make the difference you are here to make.

—> Share with people you know (friends, family, spouse, coworkers) who may benefit from it.

The post It’s here!! Live from Hawaii… my brand new masterclass appeared first on Brilliant Seeds.

The post I don’t do “regular” career coaching. appeared first on Brilliant Seeds.

To be loved and accepted.
To be approved.
To conform.
To belong.

This part that was different than most of my family.
This part that was not welcomed.

Because it was going against the status quo.
Against the family’s norms and expectations.
Against the way…

• …things “should” be.
• …people “should” live their lives.
• …I ‘should” be a good daughter, niece, and granddaughter.
• …I ‘should” live my life.

This part of me that craves adventure and freedom.


North Coast of California during my vacation last week 

This part of me that loves…

• traveling around the world.
• living in foreign counties. 
• discovering new places, new cultures, new experiences.
• going on new adventures whether it’s kayaking, camping, or climbing a peak.

Kayaking on the Gualala River during my vacation last week 

Camping by the Pacific Ocean – North Coast of California

This part of me that loves living my life…

• out loud
• fully expressed 
• joyful and happy 
• away from the “shoulds” and “have to”

Making a campfire at the campsite

The TRUTH is…

I am an adventurous spirit. 
I am a FREE spirit.

This is a BIG PART of who I am. Not ALL of who I am, but a bit part. 

To claim and embrace it, I had to break through the norms and shoulds of my family conditioning. 

It takes courage to do that.

But on the other side of it, I found the career and life of my dreams, the work I absolutely love that brings me joy and meaning every day. 

Have you ever wondered where to find the career and life of your dreams? The type of work and lifestyle that brings you true joy and fulfillment?

Well, if you are like most of the people I’m here to serve, the answer is…

• …on the other side of your “shoulds” and “have to.”
• …on the other side of the conditioning, you have taken from family, school, society, culture.
• …on the other side of proving that you are lovable and intelligent.
• …on the other side of proving that you belong.

I know.
I have been there… and back.
This is the story of my life.
I know the terrain well.
I’ve traveled it so many times… and I keep traveling it. 

If you need help going on the other side of the shoulds to find the work and life you truly LOVE,

I can guide you there.

This is the terrain I love travelling with my clients. 
The terrain through which I’ve guided hundreds of clients who are now living the work and life of their dreams.

I can hold your hand through it. This is what I’m the best at.

If you want to explore how I could help, apply for a “Discover the Career You Absolutely Love” Complimentary Breakthrough Session. I currently have 3 spots open for new clients

Wherever you are on your journey, I wish for you to have work and life you truly love, free of the shoulds and conditioning that keep you bound and unhappy.

What are you going to do this week that brings you joy independently of what you think you should do?

Comment below and tell me! I want to hear

To your full expression,

The post I used to hide this part of myself appeared first on Brilliant Seeds.

In these times, I encourage you to feel and welcome all your emotions, get supported in community, be gentle with yourself while continuing to celebrate life. 

It’s why I want to share with you the success of some of my fabulous clients in 2020. 

By courageously stepping into their career callings, they are making the world a better place for all of us.

As a result of our work together through my signature 1:1 program “Land the Career You Love”…

⭐️ A successful senior marketing manager with 15+ years of corporate experience went from despair and frustration to clarity about her true calling. She is well on her way to starting her real estate business to help families create the life of their dreams.

⭐️A multi-talented chef, lecturer, writer, tour guide based in New Zealand fulfilled her dream of starting a business as a cooking school and food tour guide. She is regularly showcased in the press and radio. She now runs popular cooking classes with guest chefs—some celebrities!—and run events, curated feasts, food/art events like her Cooking with the French Impressionists series.

⭐️ A VP with 20 years of corporate success went from burned out and fearful to fulfilling her dream of becoming her own boss.

 ⭐️ A project manager with 12+ years of experience is making a career shift to health coaching and moving from the San Francisco Bay Area to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to fulfill her value of being close to family and community.

⭐️ A successful restaurant owner, burned out and anxious about next steps, sold her restaurant, was accepted to a prestigious Stanford training, and is stepping into her passion for communication, conflict resolution, and leadership coaching  as a consultant. Two agencies are already asking her to join. 

⭐️ A seasoned designer and artist embraced her calling and gifts as a fine artist. As a result, she more than doubled her gross earnings in 2020 while working with more ease and joy. You can check her fine art here. 

Sara Glaser Fine Art

⭐️ An actuary turned data scientist living in San Francisco with her husband achieved her long-time desire to move back to England to be closer to family and friends. She is on her path to making her other dreams come true, including working in sustainability and buying a house near London. 

⭐️ A 26-year-old talented entrepreneur made it to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, published his first book, and is starting his second business to fulfill his passion and calling for teaching. 

I am so proud of them!
…and of all my other clients not listed here. There are many more.

They show us that, even during a global pandemic, it is possible to make a career shift.

Want to be next on the list in 2021?

I’ll be honored to support you.

It it’s you, I’d love to talk!

Isabelle

The post Time for some shoutouts to my amazing clients and their success in 2020! appeared first on Brilliant Seeds.

🔥 completing a badass coaching session with a client who is making a career shift from project management to health coaching and moving from California to Pittsburg, Pennsylvania as the result of our work together in the past four months.


🔥 finding out that one of my brilliant entrepreneur clients made it to the Forbes 30 under 30 list. Stay tuned for more about him soon!  He is super talented and it’s an honor to support him shine even brighter.


🔥 attending a powerful call with diversity and equity educator Trudi Lebron about cultural responsiveness in sales conversations. I’m keeping up my commitment to make my business practices more inclusive.


🔥 taking care of myself by reaching out to friends to support me in navigating some emotional triggers. A big part of success is to practice self-care and know when and who to reach out for support. I practice what I preach to my clients!

The post I’m facilitating FOUR workshops this Spring… appeared first on Brilliant Seeds.

Woohooo!! What a joy to receive this email! (see the full email below)

Every month, I teach my highly acclaimed workshop Career Shift: Find Work You Love at General Assembly in downtown San Francisco.

I’ve taught it now 40+ times for 4 years to 600+ students. 

WOW!

Realizing that I’ve impacted hundreds of people through this class means a lot!

I often receive emails, notes, and words from my students about the transformational impact the exercises we do in the class have had on their career trajectory.

Last week, I received an email that made me really happy.

I want to share it with you to inspire you and to help you see what is possible for you or for the people in your life.

One of the attendees of my August class landed EXACTLY the work that he visualized during one of the exercises we did during the evening.

See his email below (posted and anonymized with his permission)

He even invited me to attend his celebration party! How fun!

“Hi Isabelle,

I thought you would like to know that I have landed finally, and the outcome is fantastic. And you will be excited to hear that I basically landed in exactly the kind of place where my “flow” exercise guided me, despite all my doubts that it would materialize as such.

I will be working on microsatellites at […] starting this week! I’m looking forward to getting back into space systems engineering, biking to the office, and experiencing the thrill of startup life. It seems like a really great fit for me with lots of potential. No dogs are allowed in the office, but everything else sounds amazing. 😀

Thanks again for being on my team, and reminding me that good career outcomes are possible too.

Hope things are well with you!

Cheers,

B.”

Know that this is possible for you too or for people in your life (relatives, friends, coworkers).

YES, IT IS.

What is one step you are going to take before the end of the year towards the career of your dreams? 

2019 is around the corner.

How would that feel to start 2019 knowing that you are actively taking steps toward the work you love?

Isabelle

P.S. If you are already doing the work you love, please do me a favor and share this email with people you know who need this inspiration and reminder. I bet you know people who would benefit from some inspiration.
