Pivot on Purpose

I am a Navy Veteran and a Former Healthcare Professional with over 15 years’ work experience in the federal government.  On the outside, I looked really successful.  I had a great job and was good at what I did.  In fact, I was considered an expert in my department and the go-to person for solving complex issues quickly.  My work life was good until it wasn’t any more.  

One day I woke up and realized:

·  “I can’t do this anymore”

·  I was underutilized and underleveraged

·  I had all the certifications, all the education, done all the things and checked all the boxes with nowhere else to go in my career

Which left me:

·  Thinking that I’ve worked too hard to throw away my education and experience

·  Wondering if there was something wrong with me because everyone around me was happy and successful in a way I wasn’t

·  Feeling like a fraud for pretending to be happy which made me feel like a failure

·  All of this confirmed I just wasn’t good enough

What I came to see was:

·  I was REALLY scared to move forward

·  I was afraid of how my family would react to me wanting to quit my “good job” and pursue a dream that gave me purpose and meaning  

·  I didn’t know if could turn my passion into something profitable

So, I set out to master my coaching skills and shift to a place of purpose, I:

·  Trained and became a certified coach, trainer, and speaker

·  Hired the best leadership and business development leaders and coaches in the industry

·  Studied and learned how to create and sustain a profitable business

·  Used the pay from my full-time job to fund my passion project and launched my business

As a result:

·  I became a sought-after certified professional and executive coach

·   I was recognized as one of the Top 20 Coaches in Jacksonville (2021)

·   I realized I needed to ditch perfectionism and procrastination and make the shift to 

  BOLD. IMPERFECT. ACTION 

if I wanted to pivot to a place of passion, purpose, and profit.
