The Path That Led Me Here

There’s a funny thing about doing work you’re good at but not always in love with. For years, I stayed in roles that looked solid on paper—recruiting jobs, leadership positions, and roles that more than paid the bills and checked the boxes. But under the surface, I carried mixed feelings. I loved the people part: helping someone land a job, preparing them for interviews, giving them tools to believe in themselves. That part never got old. What drained me was something different: the office politics, the relentless metrics, the sense that internal clients cared more about speed than substance.

I worked in globally recognized organizations—Capgemini, Deloitte Consulting, GlaxoSmithKline, Lucent Technologies, and ADP. These are the kinds of names that open doors and impress on paper. In fact, they were often what made me appealing to headhunters. The majority of my roles came through recruiters who were drawn to my experience with these big players. On the outside, it all looked like upward momentum. And in many ways, it was. I certainly was learning and growing along the way. But quietly, I was craving something different, something that aligned more deeply with how I wanted to live and lead.

Eventually, I had to ask myself the question I so often asked others: “What do you want?”

That’s when things began to shift.

I didn’t wake up one day with a perfectly made plan. In fact, I’m still figuring things out and that’s something I’ve learned to embrace. I started incorporating practices that helped me get quiet enough to hear my own voice again: meditation, visualization, journaling, affirmations. These weren’t just buzzwords for me. They helped me slow down, focus, and rediscover what matters most.

Today, through MotivAction Coaching, I collaborate with people who are navigating career decisions, managing workplace dynamics, or simply trying to find their footing in times of change. Some are job seekers. Others are figuring out how to grow or stay grounded where they are. What they all have in common is a desire to move forward with more clarity, confidence, and purpose.

I coach from a place of lived experience because I’ve been in transition too. And I believe we don’t have to be fully “fixed” to be of service to others—we just have to be honest, present, and growing.

If you're reading this and wondering if it’s okay to still be in progress, let me reassure you: it absolutely is. The tools that help us navigate work—reflection, mindset shifts, personal clarity—can also help us navigate life. You’re allowed to build while still becoming.

If any part of this resonates with you, feel free to reach out. I’d love to hear what’s on your mind—or what kind of support you’re looking for. Coaching starts with a conversation.
