I threw myself into learning whatever I could about mindfulness, and my stress levels fell dramatically. I felt so much more in control of my reactions, and I began to take things much more in stride. I started to look at my life in a much more balanced way. 

 

I wanted to help others experience the same in both their work and life because over my meandering career, I’d seen so many people (at times, myself included!) who were not in a role that showcased their gifts and allowed them to thrive. And I saw the direct link between joy in work and joy in life.

 

So I left my high intensity COO role and studied how to incorporate mindfulness into life coaching. I proceeded to get several coaching certifications, focusing on what I’d just gone through — career transformation and mindful living. 

 

I developed a course for Indiana University called Career Success Preparation, infusing mindfulness into the career transformation process and developed THE LOVE MONDAY METHOD, a system that’s effective for professionals at all stages.

​

I’m so passionate about this because the world is a better place when people love what they do, and research shows most don’t, nor do they maximize their gifts. That makes for a lot of unhappy people and lackluster products, services, solutions, moments, relationships and communities.

 

After teaching for 5.5 years, I moved myself and my coaching practice to Georgetown, Washington DC, and recently, Jersey City NJ. As Kramer would say on Seinfeld, “I’m loving every minute of it!”
