Career Design Notes - Real decisions. Real trade-offs. Real career redesign.

It’s ok to acknowledge, recognize and honour what your heart and intuition chooses. Maybe you’re like me and have been pushing away your emotions, valuing your rational, logical mind more than your intuition and what your heart feels. Now, you can acknowledge, recognize and honour your emotions and your intuition and do it with the peace of mind that it’s backed up by science and research, the stu...

We usually hear how comparison is not a good thing, especially in the age of social media where this is rampant. But I say comparison is a good thing and I talk about how to use comparison to help you achieve your dreams and goals in this week’s podcast episode. It’s such a simple concept that we learned as kids in school, but we’ve lost our ability to use comparison for its intended purpose when...

The key to transforming your dreams to reality is your ability to hold the space for both seeing your current reality - where you’re not yet at your goals yet - and be totally ok with that as you continue working towards achieving them. A lot of people can’t do this, they give in to the frustration and disappointment of not achieving their goals at the time they want to, or totally giving up and t...

So invest the time to do this for yourself today. I share in today’s episode a few ways you can ce...

We all have the rational side of our minds and our more intuitive side. If you’re like me and have a tendency to engage more with your rational side, perhaps it’s time to explore balancing this out with your intuitive side. Especially if you still feel like there’s something missing, despite being very successful in your career or life. In this episode, I share how challenges in my life actually l...

Everyone experiences emotional trauma on some level. But no one taught us how to process it. Like suffering from indigestion, emotional trauma if left unprocessed, becomes a part of us that remains somewhere in our unconscious mind.  This un-integrated, unprocessed emotions we experience from some past negative event can keep us stuck in disempowering behaviors and thought habit loops so we feel a...

How do you tell the difference between being guided by your higher, wiser, intuitive self and your ego, animalistic self? Why does it matter anyway?

In this week’s episode, I share my process on how to spend your time and energy on activities that actually help you to achieve your career or business goals. This is a simple process anyone can do, anytime of the year, and not just at the end of the year. What makes it different from the usual evaluation of goal achievement is that it taps into your intuition at the subconscious level. This is so...

The old model for your career where you have to choose between money or your passion is outdated. Instead, we need a new model for a career where you can make the money you want doing work you love and that energizes you. The reason why so many people don’t believe this is possible is a combination of not applying the right strategies to do this and not knowing how to manage your beliefs and confi...

When it comes to building a successful career where we do work we love, get paid really well for it, have autonomy over our time and where we work, i.e. the dream life many people have,  we often underestimate what it takes to create this. For every success story you hear, there are many more you don’t hear who are still trying to build the life they’ve always dreamed of. Today’s episode is for th...

In this week’s podcast episode, I share the 3 signs that tell you when it’s time for a change in your job, what you can do about it and when you should activate your plan.  I also share my perspective about job hopping and how to tell when this is a very important and good thing both from a hiring manager’s perspective and as a job hopper myself earlier in my career.

This week’s episode was inspired by the common fear many of us in corporate #jobs may have - how to have job security in our uncertain world. It’s one of those things we accept when we step into a #corporate job. There isn't any guarantee you’ll keep your #job forever, no matter how hard you work. I share the common misconception many people have about the reasons you get fired or let go from...

This phrase ‘be different’ kept coming back to me over the past 2 weeks. Perhaps it was F1 fever… I’ve been noticing the recurring theme about how different people at the top of their game are. How unafraid of being different they are. Being different is tough. It’s scary. It can feel lonely. But it’s what’s needed to be exceptional. People who are exceptional at what they do aren’t like everyone...

Here are 10 lessons I learned about achieving BIG things in your life. I recorded this after getting certified as a coach by the MAP Coaching Institute which was a pretty big thing I’d been working on for the past 7 months. It involved showing up every week for class, clocking tons of client sessions, taking a written exam and a face-to-face interview exam.  It was so intimidating when I started,...

You may have heard that in order to create your dream life, you must have a vision of it and fully believe in it. While I’m all about building beliefs that support the life you want, I’m also practical. Sometimes, we just don’t believe we can create everything we want. What can you do when this happens? How can you create everything your heart desires even when you don’t believe it’s possible for...

No matter how many actions you take and plans you make, you’re not going to achieve the results you want until you work on your lack of self belief & trust in your unconscious mind. You can use all the positive affirmations in the world, all the discipline and determination that you want, but until you clear what’s blocking you in your unconscious mind, you’ll hit a limit and wonder why you ca...

How do we try to change others? Effective strategy is to learn how to deal with our emotions because we just have to be ourselves. You've got to be aware enough to even catch yourself responding or reacting. Be very self aware of the thoughts that are going through your mind. Whatever physical sensation in your body, just always being in the state of awareness, especially when you get trigger...

Do you know what your stories are and how they’re running your life? We are meaning making machines and we make up stories along the way as we go through life. Since we tend to remember more of the bad stuff than the good stuff, most of those stories aren’t stories that empower and uplift us, or that give us confidence and believe in ourselves. That’s why it’s important to catch them, and see them...

When we think about living a life we love, we think it’s about doing what we want to do, making our own decisions about how we spend our time, who we’re spending our time with, and what we’re doing. Yet, many people don’t do this because something is holding them back. This thing that holds them back is worrying about what other people will think, say, criticize or ridicule them. It’s hard to crea...

Not just those that are.  This isn’t something we do naturally. It’s something we train o...
