Why I Do This Work

It was back in June of 2004. I had had the best day of my career, a day I had been dreaming of. I had sold the most number of municipal bonds in one day and grossed what I would normally gross in two months!

Yet, I remember walking to the train that night thinking:

• Why don’t I feel happier?

• Why do I feel so empty and unfulfilled?

• Is this all there is… selling bonds and making money?

I knew it was time for a change and decided to leave

the bond business and search for answers; answers to questions such as Who am I? What am I good at? What fulfills me? I read many self-help books, attended personal growth seminars, went to a healer, a therapist, and tried meditation. Doing all of this was exhausting! Perhaps the answers wouldn’t come from the outside, I thought; perhaps I needed to go within.

So I was excited when I discovered coaching. The coaching program I went through proved to be good for my own personal journey and sparked a new passion in me to assist others who found themselves feeling the same way. I remembered that I had often wished I’d had someone to talk to who would support me through challenging work situations and guide me through the twists and turns I was experiencing, personally and professionally. I became thrilled by the idea of being that person for others.

And so I pivoted

and became an executive and leadership coach after a successful 20-year career in the municipal bond business. For more than 15 years, I've had the privilege of being someone others turn to as they navigate their careers. I especially love partnering with professionals to help them recognize and believe in their unique strengths, build their confidence, thrive in their careers and stay true themselves.

Most importantly, I believe that we must be as aware of what’s going on in the inside as well as the outside. We cannot be successful in our careers or our lives if we are not self-aware and proactive in understanding what really makes us tick.
