A Life in Transition

Life is never a straight line. Success is not a destination. Change is a constant. And, a choice. Without challenges & change, we never learn & grow.

 

My life has been a series of transitions. Some are changes that I’ve chosen and embraced, and others have been thrust upon me. All have been in the pursuit of finding the true expression of my hunger to help others achieve their full potential.

 

I’ve worn many hats. Worked in management. Trained in ministry & service. Traveled to Taiwan for gospel outreach. Started a non-profit program. Volunteered in a hospice program. Trained in Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.  Founder of Recipes for Learning®, Certified Strengths Coach.

 

I found my calling in coaching – my personal True North in helping people to find their True North. So they can live the life they’ve always wanted and discovered the meaning that makes it all worthwhile.  I’ve helped people at every stage of their lives:

 

  • high school & college students discover their values, passion, & talents that have guided them to live life on their terms
  • those that are stuck in jobs they hate to transition into careers of a good fit
  • new entrepreneurs clarify  their next steps to start or grow their business

 

Now at 67, I'm turning my attention to people in a similar stage. I want to share my gifts of writing, coaching, & hosting circles as my love letter to those in life transition.

 

Someone who is nearing retirement or there already.  Traveling on your further journey, you see the possibility of the second act. You want more in your life but aren't sure how to turn those unexplored dreams and desires into reality.

 

IS THIS YOU?

FULL DISCLOSURE

I have high energy & high enthusiasm. There is no cure. And, it might be contagious.

 

I love learning! The joy of learning something new & then sharing it. The sharing is my way to serve, support, & bless.

 

I will challenge you to take action today, tomorrow, & this week. To be accountable. Be prepared to learn & grow!

August 6, 2018

Our brains have a fundamental need to connect.  Why in the world would being with other people be so important to how our brains function?  As it turns out, much of our brain’s hardwiring (function below the level of awareness) comes to us from our primitive ancestors.  Our primitive ancestors had to stay in groups…

LIST
