Five years ago, I realized I needed a change. I was stuck working in a career that had run its course and was causing me a great deal of stress and very little joy. This was also running over into my personal life and greatly impacting my health. I realized it was time for a change! Not only was I not living my life’s purpose, I did not even know what my life’s purpose was. So I hired a coach and began the process of self-discovery. As a result, I became open to exploring new career opportunities and ideas I had never considered in the past. I began teaching part-time at the college level, and I realized it gave me a great deal of satisfaction to teach and mentor others, an area that I had always been told I was good at but never seriously considered as a profession. I then took it a step further and decided to enroll in a professional coaching program. As soon as I began this phase of furthering my education and personal growth, I was hooked. I also switched my career path and became a learning and development professional in the biotechnology sector. I decided that teaching and coaching was what I wanted to do in the next phase of my life, and I was determined to be successful.
