The post How to live your purpose in 2023 🔥 appeared first on Brilliant Seeds.

• Where would you live?
• Where would you work? When?
• What would your ideal schedule look like?
• How would you spend your time outside of your working hours?
• What would you work on?

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,

The post I ended my workday swimming with turtles. appeared first on Brilliant Seeds.

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 successful professionals and entrepreneurs stuck in a career they no longer love, discover the next career they absolutely love, and the confidence to make it happen.  

Eight 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?

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

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

P.S. 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!”

The post (Client story + Video) 3 reasons why now is a great time to reevaluate your career and your life appeared first on Brilliant Seeds.

It is when I see people give up on themselves.
…give up on their talents
…give up on their dreams
…give up on their potential
…give up on the work they love.

I see their brilliance; I see them light up when they talk about what they love. I get so excited for what I see in them, the beauty I see, the amazing potential they have, the vision that is possible for them. I see amazing possibilities for them. I see who they are and who they can become. I see the fulfillment that awaits them if they tap into their true potential. I know it is possible for them if they would just reach for it…

They do work that is NOT who they are. They do somebody else’s work. They use someone else’s gifts instead of tapping into their unique talents and potential. Day in and day out, they work hard at being someone else and living someone else’s purpose.

They spend their whole life living someone else’s life and work. Often what society told them they should do.

And when it comes time to choose…

They choose the short-term comfort over their long-term fulfillment. 
They abandon who they are. They abandon their brilliance, their potential, their dreams. They are wasting so much of their amazing resources.

Why do they do that?

They may give a lot of excuses (not enough money, not enough time, etc) but often this is not the true reason.

The true reason is:  FEAR

They are scared: scared of change, scared of the unknown, scared of not being good enough. And they let the fear makes the decision for them and be in the driver seat of their lives.

Change is scary.
But this is the only way to a life and work of fulfillment. A life fully lived with no regrets.

What are you choosing? 

Are you choosing fear? and to live an unfulfilled, half-lived life, stay in the comfort of not making any change, and have regrets at the end of your life?

OR

Are you choosing to discover and embrace the amazing potential and talents you have, and go after your dreams, live your purpose, find work that is meaningful?

The choice is yours. No one else.

This is not society’s choice, your parents’, your friends’, your spouse’s, nobody else but your choice, and you do have a choice. You may think you don’t, but you choose every day even by the decisions you don’t make.

You are the captain of your destiny. Nobody else can make this choice for you.

What will you choose? 

If you choose a career of meaning and fulfillment and need support clarifying what it is, I would be delighted to help you.

My program Roadmap To A Career You Love is still open for a few more amazing people, and I’d love to see if we are a match.

You can learn more and apply here.

I look forward to talking to you!

If you have already chosen and are living work and life on your terms, I’m really happy for you!

To your brilliance,
Isabelle

The post What saddens me the most in my work… appeared first on Brilliant Seeds.

Yeah, you read that right I’m actually happy to turn 40. There are several reasons for that.

•  the first one if that I’ve never been as happy in my life and work as I am now. I do the work that I absolutely love and that is an expression of who I am. There is no other work I would be doing in the world than what I’m doing now. Helping people find the work they absolutely love that is aligned with who they are brings meaning and purpose to my life. I’m also part of an amazing community of friends with whom I can be my crazy authentic loving shining self! And I feel more connected to my family in France than ever.

• the second one is that I’m proud of the woman I have become and the amazing things I’ve accomplished so far in my life. From a tiny hamlet in the South West of France to Paris, Montreal, and San Francisco Bay Area! I’ve realized most of my dreams: moving from France to Canada and the US, becoming bilingual, working for one of the largest Internet companies in the world, climbing the highest peaks in the US, changing careers to pursue my passion, and founding my own company in the US.

I have a special gift for you! 

I want you to be as excited and happy about your life and work as I am when your next Birthday comes along. I want you to have a career and life that bring deep meaning and fulfillment. A life that you are grateful for and proud of! A life where getting older is not threatening because you don’t have any regrets and you feel alive!

I recorded for you a powerful visualization that helps get in touch with what a meaningful career and life is for you. I do it with my clients and most of them find it very enlightening. Listen to the visualization here and connect with your purpose and meaning.

I’d love to hear what you discover. Feel free to share in the comments below!

To your meaningful life and career! I’m grateful to have you in my life on that special day.

Warm wishes,

Isabelle

The post A gift for you on my Birthday appeared first on Brilliant Seeds.

What would it be like to do work you ABSOLUTELY love? 

The work
….you LOVE so much that it doesn’t feel like work
…you are so PASSIONATE about that you are EXCITED to talk about it
….where you use ALL of your talents to contribute to the world in a way that matters to you
… where you can be FULLY yourself, without leaving a part of you behind
….that gets you so PUMPED UP that you have to pinch yourself to make sure it’s true

Impossible you may say?

No. it’s not.

This is what my work feels like and this is what I want for you.

The other day, as I was in the middle of a coaching session helping one of my clients figure out her dream work, I had one of these “pinch moments.”

“OMG. Is that possible that I’m being paid to do what I LOVE the most in the world??!! The ONE thing that makes me the happiest. The thing I’ve dreamed of doing for the past 10 years. Helping people uncover their talents, passions, and purpose so that they can do the work they love the most.”

Yes. This is happening. Right now. This is a REALITY.

It is why I know it’s POSSIBLE.

It’s what I want for YOU. Doing work that makes you come alive. Work where you use your talents to contribute in a way that matters to YOU.

I want that for you whether you are unhappy in your current career or you like you work, but you could LOVE it even more.

The first question to ask yourself is:

Imagine you could do THE work that brings you the MOST joy, how would that look like?

See what comes up for you, whatever that may be, just listen, and journal about it. And for now, forget about any constraints; Imagine you have unlimited resources and you can do what you LOVE the most, whatever that may be. How would that look like?

What answers do you come up with? Share in the comments below. I’d love to hear.

And stay tuned! I’m preparing a teleseminar to share with you my key tips to find the work you’ll absolutely love! More details to come soon. I’m super excited!

Warmly,
Isabelle
