Wow…it blew my mind!

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!

P.S. Need support to make a difference in the world with your talents?

I currently have **3 spots** open in my coaching practice for successful professionals or entrepreneurs stuck in a career they no longer love and ready to discover the next career they’ll absolutely love that will make a difference in the world.

If this is you or someone you know (friend, spouse, relative, coworker), fill out this form and we’ll connect! 

Have you found them? (Two key questions you MUST ask yourself to do work you love)

Have you found them? (Two key questions you MUST ask yourself to do work you love)

This quote by Elizabeth Gilbert, in “Big Magic” says it all.

“This is one of the oldest and most generous tricks the universe plays on us human beings […]: The universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if we can find them.”

  • Have you found your jewels?
  • “Do you have the courage to bring forth the treasures that are hidden within you?”

These two questions are at the CORE of doing the WORK YOU ABSOLUTELY LOVE.

… and at the core of what I do with my clients.

  • I help them answer these two questions with a resounding YES.  
  • I help them find their hidden treasures and the courage to bring them worth into their work.

Because without that, you CANNOT do the work you absolutely love. 

How much you love your work is directly correlated with how well you can answer these questions with a YES.

So, let me ask you again: can you answer these questions with a big YES?

If yes, congrats! This is fabulous.

If no and you want to say yes to them so that you can do the work that gets you excited to get out of bed in the morning. it will be my joy and honor to help you. 

I’ve 2 spaces open for my  “Land the Career You Love 1:1 coaching program.” Apply here to schedule a time to chat with me.

I look forward to hearing from you
or from people you know (spouse, relative, friends, co-workers) who need help discovering the work they love in 2020!

Please share this blog with them!

PS. Don’t spend another year or decade with your treasures hidden within you! The world is missing out. and your life is missing out too. Fill out this form and I’ll be in touch.

SHE NEEDS OUR HELP…. and she needs it NOW.

SHE NEEDS OUR HELP…. and she needs it NOW.

Last Fall, after a visualization we did in our 1:1 session, my client Carla was in tears.

When I asked her about it, she said…

…. she was feeling the pain of the Earth. She was crying for the Earth.

It was during all the wildfires that affected California.

The Earth, Our Earth is hurting. 

SHE NEEDS OUR HELP…. and she needs it NOW.

Can you feel it, Isabelle?

If so, PLEASE read on and support Carla in her initiative to help our Planet.

There are concrete and super easy ways you can do that NOW.

Carla’s life purpose is to advocate for the healing of the Planet and our relationship with the natural world.

When we started working together a year ago: 

  • Carla was feeling very poorly about her career future; her self-confidence was extremely low.
  • She didn’t know what she wanted to do next.
  • She was discouraged and feeling very bleak.
  • She didn’t believe that she could find something really fulfilling for work
  • and if she did find it, she didn’t believe she could get hired to do it.

After 6 months of work together within the Roadmap To A Career You Love program and beyond, so much has shifted for her:

  • she regained her confidence
  • she felt a lot more in touch with her strengths and skills.
  • she became totally clear about what she wanted to do next
  • she still had some fears but the fears did not stop her from pursuing her dream:

Starting her non-profit to “activate and unite the quiet majority to solve climate change.”

She went for it and started her non-profit!

She is now gathering a community to support her mission and is taking donations.

Here are ways you can support Carla and her initiative:

Please take a few minutes of your day right now to do one of these things.

Your action, however small, is helping in HEALING the Earth.

Let’s do this together.

We can do it if we all participate!

I’m getting teary as I write this

I’m getting teary as I write this

Monday was hard

I cried and I grieved.

I’m getting teary as I’m writing this.

It felt like a part of me was taken away. 

I felt it in my body.

Seeing Notre-Dame de Paris on fire was like having a part of me torn apart.
It’s like a part of me was on fire.

I know it will pass and the cathedral will be restored to its glory, but the grief is real and I won’t bypass it.

This is deep. A part of my French history, my heritage, my roots, where I come from. It is heartbreaking.

In my twenties, on my way to work, I would walk on the parvis of Notre-Dame every day, smiling at her beauty each time.

My grandma grew up and lived in Paris until she retired. A part of her is with Notre-Dame too.

Notre-Dame is in the heart of each French person.

It had me reflect on the impermanence of life; the impermanence of things and people we cherish.

Things and people dear to our hearts come and go.
We come and go.

This life in this physical realm is impermanent.
My life is.
Your life is.

The places you want to explore may not be here anymore if you wait.
The people you love may leave before you have the chance to say what you want to say.

You may get too old to do the things you want to do if you keep postponing them.

Have you been wanting to visit Paris and Notre-Dame for years and have been waiting and waiting?

Is there something you have always wanted to do and keep postponing it?

How long will you do that?
Are you waiting for “someday”?
or for the “right timing”?

Someday never comes.
There may never be a “right” timing neither.

…and it will be too late.

The place you want to see may be destroyed.
You may arrive at the end of your life without having pursued the work and life of your dreams.

So, what are you waiting for?

What is something you have always wanted to do and keep postponing it?
What step are you going to take TODAY to move towards it?

Share with me and do it!

TIME is precious, and your life too.

Take good care of it.

Isabelle
