I often get asked what makes me so passionate about what I do and I always give an unexpected answer.
I do my work so that people get to feel alive in their lives.
Not their careers.
Their lives.
And yes, I'm a career coach, but I find that being unhappy in your career is one of the biggest barriers to feeling alive and engaged in your LIFE. So I help you move through the career challenges.
It's updates like this that make me want to share everything I do with as many people as possible:
"Lindsay, I still constantly talk and think about my journey with you, because it has made such a positive impact on me this past year. The decision to quit [company] felt completely right because I didn't see it as my failure to succeed, but rather a place that no longer aligned with my values and strengths. The decision was so easy and didn't come from a place of anger (when I wanted to rage quit like before), but from a place of deep understanding of myself and my values and knowing that I'm a deeply consistent human. All the big changes I've made for myself and my family this year I've done with full confidence because I know myself and my strengths better. I'm so confident and clear in my decision making and that alone has saved me so much time, anguish and mental fatigue. Thank you for the invaluable skills you taught me - they are serving me every single day in all aspects of my life."
I want this experience for as many people on this planet as possible:
No longer feeling that it's a failure to succeed, but it’s a place that is misaligned.
Incredible self-knowledge and self-honoring.
Big changes with full confidence.
Decisions without anguish and mental fatigue.
And a lifetime of invaluable skills.
I'm only one human with a set amount of time I can give, but I'm hoping that my book will spread this message as far and wide as possible.
If you know someone that is struggling in their career (and therefore stuck in their life), I hope the book will be exactly what they need to move through the challenge.
Let's all support each other to feel alive in our lives.
