The short version is like many of you, I did not know what I wanted to do as a career, so I chose Business as a major (I was told it makes finding a job easier). My career counselors in High School and College had good intentions, however they did not have the experience or the correct tools to help me find the right career, so I took a job with GlaxoSmithKline, a large international company.

Fast forward, after 16 years in corporate America going from Colorado to Phoenix to Boston to DC to Switzerland and back to Colorado and numerous career changes along the way, I realized my career did not fit me.

Finally, I met with a career coach who looked at the pile of research and assessments I had collected over the years, as he added his to my pile, and then he asked me if I had ever considered being a career coach. The light went on and I started doing my own research on assessments, coaching, the brain, certifications, careers, education, performance, happiness, entrepreneurship, energy, passion, wealth creation, business, power of focus, and many other topics. I could not learn fast enough, and I loved what I was learning.

I learned that I was an entrepreneur and that I wanted to start my own career coaching business, however mine would include all the elements that I found missing in the others. First and foremost was starting from the inside out. Discovering how you are hardwired and where you can be your best, and maybe the best, based upon your strengths and passions. Then reviewing your education and experience and analyzing what worked for you and what didn't. I experimented with many assessments until I found
 the ones that worked best together. 

Fast forward, I now have a ton of experience, with over 20,000 hours of coaching, in my three specialties: Students (High School and College), Adults and Organizations. I love what I do and how I do it because it works, and I am able to help clients avoid all the pitfalls I encountered.
