Dream Big Coaching Services in the Press
Seattle Metropolitan magazine publishes a "Best of the City" issue each year, and I'm excited to announce that I'm featured in this year's list as Seattle's "top career coach"!
Seattleites will be interested to read about all of the stores, restaurants, activities and services featured in this July 2007 issue. You'll need to purchase the magazine to get all the details, however. I'm featured in the "Renew and Improve" section, along with an organizer, party planner, a budget-conscious stylist and many other services.
I started Dream Big Coaching Services four years ago this month with a mission to help people transform vision into action.
I had my mission, my coach certification, passion for what I was about to begin, skills and experience gained from a career in human resources, a variety of other talents and skills, time, support from my family, ideas and hope.
What I didn't have: entrepreneurial experience, marketing experience, or supreme confidence and certainty about how exactly my business would develop.
Over time I learned that I could gain the first two elements but would have to be comfortable with a certain degree of not knowing.
When I accepted that I wouldn't be able to predict how exactly my business would evolve, I relaxed into doing the work. I learned through trial and error, I hired my own coach, I talked with peers, I read, and I followed my natural talents and interests. Out went attending huge networking groups. In came blogging.
In the last four years I've had ups and downs, joys and disappointments, successes and failures. What I keep coming back to is the mission of my business.
My mission happens to be something I care about deeply: to help people dream big and then help them get out there and actually make it happen.
It's a thrill for me to love my job, and it's exciting to help others figure out how they can find career happiness, too. Today is a perfect day to reflect on the first four years of my coaching business.
What's your mission for your career?

In the process of learning all those skills that help you in your work and your life you've created a business that suits your personality best.Coaching other people how to do would be something very good and rewarding.
