Happy Sunday... Reflecting on this post, I found myself looking back to the beginning of my journey…read morein discovering my work, calling, and purpose. In 2020, when I left social work behind, l didn't immediately search for the next job. Instead, I sought resources to help me find myself and uncover my true purpose in life. That's when my good friends, Nat & Dan, recommended A Path That Fits-a career und life coaching program that truly made a difference in my journey. From that moment, l knew I was heading in the right direction. I am not here because I needed a JOB... I am here because @connectmortgagegroup and I - ARE MEANT TO BE HERE!!! This passion has started since 2004 when I started as a part time College Student and part time Loan Processor. If you're feeling lost, stagnant, or even complacent, turn to prayer-and if you're looking for additional guidance, I highly recommend A Path That Fits to help you discover your true purpose and calling, one that brings you 1000% happiness! I'm so grateful I found Adrian Klaphaak - Purpose Coach before getting married and having kids-it gave me the chance to truly find ME - MYSELF.

Michael H., also an alum trainer at SCLA/SF, decided to open his private training space in Glen Park. Perfect for me. Outstanding personal training experience was a 5 minute walk from my house instead of catching BART to the Four Seasons Hotel. Michael is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. He customized my workout routines based on my fitness goals. Highly recommended.

I was very active and fitness oriented for most of my life. After I turned 50 and the…read moreresponsibility of work added up I found myself doing nothing physical except walking my dogs for almost two years. I had promised myself earlier in my life that I would never allow this to happen, but it did. I also found myself more anxious and stressed than ever. My partner encouraged me ( ie forced me) to get a complimentary consultation with Michael at Sunrise Health and Fitness. I signed up for two sessions a week for six months and things have changed a lot since then. There were many days when I didn't want to go but after I got there Michael and his wife Julie would put me at ease and Michael would tailor the work out based on my mood and energy level. Michael is great at reading a person's mental situation and working with you to create a unique experience with each training session. The space itself is immaculate and it's completely one on one so no need to fear looking silly or feeling badly about how you look and feel. At Sunrise they really want to help you not only physically but also mentally. Highly recommended!

I'm a dabbler. I'm curious in learning a bunch of things and wanting to try out different jobs. Due…read moreto social conditioning amongst many other reasons, I've always felt that wasn't okay and that dabbling should result in eventually getting to the "thing" I'm supposed to do. Like you get a few years after college to try stuff out, but eventually, people expect you to settle into one thing and start building your career in it. By the time you hit your 30s/40s, you should be well-established in said career. I saw this reaffirmed all around me with peers who were now being promoted to VP of some bank or Manager of some org. I'd always felt like something was wrong with me. Was I too lazy or flakey to want to put in the work to commit to building a career in something? Should I just pursue careers where you can do a bunch of stuff, like go be a consultant, which would ultimately lead me down the rabbit hole of considering business school yet again even though I know I have no interest in business school? Worse yet, I felt like I was having the same conversations with myself over and over again (like going to business school). This reached a head a few months ago when I found a journal from college graduation where I told myself that I hoped I would find my thing and would find meaning in doing it. I was at a moment of yet another career transition, and I finally decided to put an end to this decade-long conversation when it hit me that it was very possible that me 10 years from now would be feeling the same thing I was feeling in that moment. I started searching for career coaches just wanting someone to point me in the direction of which path I should be on. I found Lindsay's site, and I knew immediately that she would get me. Her language was just spot-on in what I was feeling: - "Unclear what you want to do do ... so of course you have no plan or strategy for what to do in your career." - "You're getting tired of asking yourself "why am I still here?" year after year. The waffling is a constant companion and the swirl of shiny options shows up like clockwork." I laughed so hard when I read this: "Is it more grad school? Should I stop being a lawyer? Should I immediately move to France and write books?" I knew Lindsay was who I wanted to work with because she specialized in working with people like me. I didn't have to explain myself. She got it because she was in my spot at one time. Just even in our consulting session, she revealed to me that what I was feeling was completely not unique. You'd think not feeling special would be a crappy feeling, but I felt a huge sense of relief in knowing this. I felt like I wasn't some weirdo, I wasn't alone, and more importantly, I could be "fixed" because there are other people like me. What I didn't understand until after starting to work with her over the course of 3 months was that there was nothing to fix. It sounds incredibly cliche, but she gave me so many lightbulb moments that led to clarity and confidence in moving forward. I've never really experienced the power of a reframe but having a shift in perspective makes all of the difference in how you view your past decisions and guiding you towards your next one. I can't say that I've come out of it with a 10-year plan. Lindsay's a coach, not a fortune teller. And I can't say that I even know where I'll be a year from now, but I carry so much less guilt in not knowing now. I view my journey as a delight to figure out, rather than a burden that I've been tasked with solving. And I feel so liberated in knowing what I have to offer as a "dabbler" instead of as a person without 10 years of experience in xyz. Lindsay has meticulously crafted a 3-month program to work through that covers values, strengths, personal narratives. It was hard and required a lot of hard reflection. She pairs each assignment with a 1-hour coaching session to discuss. I had my doubts. Maybe these assignments wouldn't work for me (I'd gotten no value from doing assignments in self-help books before) or maybe 3 months wouldn't be enough time to see any results. She reassured me that, again, I wasn't unique, and the program had been honed to see results. Of course, she was right. I tried talking myself out of coaching so many times because I felt like I should just be able to figure it out by myself ("I just need to read one more self-help book!"). Ultimately, I realized that I already spent this long trying to DIY it with clearly no success, and it was unacceptable to me to have the same unanswered questions 10 years from now. I am so grateful to Lindsay as well as myself for making this investment.

I worked with Lindsay over the course of about 5 weeks. She is the first career coach I have…read moreworked with and I found the experience to be enjoyable and so helpful. Lindsay is very easy to talk to and also extremely clear, outlining what her expectations and yours should be as you work together. I worked with Lindsay when I was evaluating a number of different career next steps. Prior to our sessions, I spent most of my time flip-flopping and feeling uncertain and a bit frustrated. After, working with her I was able to come to a clear decision for what was right for me at this time and I feel very prepared and well-equipped to continue to evaluate opportunities and grow my career in the best way possible for myself in the future. I'm really appreciative of Lindsay. She asked great questions as I worked through my options, cheered me on when I made progress, and left me with a great set of tools that I can use in the future. If you are thinking of giving career coaching a shot, I definitely recommend it and I think you should start your search with Lindsay!

Nicki Michaels is a Personal Coach par excellence!…read more Indeed, Nicki's coaching has made the make-or-break difference in just about every aspect of my life. In 2002, Nicki's coaching helped uncover my core values and chart a steady course through what back then seemed like stormy seas. Since then, her coaching has helped me slice through the choppy surf and get on top the Monster Wave of my Big Agenda. Today, with an MS in Occupational Therapy and a Ph.D. in Preventive Medicine and Community Health, I'm no longer wiping out on the little stuff. And I know it all began with the bright beacon of Nicki's coaching illuminating my calling as a Healer, Leader, and Wave Maker. Sure feels good making Fat 100-foot Waves and gliding the curls. My life is forever changed as a result of Nicki Michaels' extraordinary coaching. Thank You, Nicki!

I needed to take action. But how? With Nicki's guidance and the "What Now" program she utilizes, I have to say that I have not only answered these questions but am now on a path that continues to unfold before me on a daily basis. Nicki is wise and amazingly intuitive and compassionate person who listens deeply and offers guidance that allows you to get real and answer your own questions. I would highly recommend Nicki as a life coach to anyone looking to reveal deeper levels of their own truth and purpose. She is an incredible resource and support system as you work through the steps of the "What Now" journey. I am so grateful to have worked with her.

The structure, the content, the community, the practice sessions, and the coaching - everything was on point! The whole experience charged me up and gave me the confidence to craft my story and be confident about going out there and sharing my value with employers. As a result, I'm having 2-3 interviews per day for the past few weeks, the funnel is full and I'm even declining opportunities that I would have been thankful to get prior to doing WorkWell. I'm confident I will land something that will be great for me and WorkWell will be a big reason why! I can't recommend them enough. If you're looking to get into tech with a non-tech background, or looking for a job in general - sign up for WorkWell! You won't regret it!

When you find yourself floating out at sea, Ian at Optimized Results is your life vest. He helps…read moreyou help yourself. What is amazing about the work I have done with Ian, that is pointedly different from other healers, gurus and coaches I have worked with over the years, is his ability to lead the way without dictating the direction. He walks his talk and helps you walk yours. He also happens to have impeccable grammar. His modules are easy to follow and his sessions are thought provoking and inspired.

I went to Ian intending to resolve some procrastination and organizational issues that I felt were…read morelimiting my productivity at work. If I have not resolved these issues totally, I have at the very least made drastic improvements in the areas in which I sought assistance. (While it is not entirely free of paperwork and debris at the end of every day, I can now see more than 50% of the surface of my desk at any given time. Whereas it used to be completely covered by at least 4" of crap at all times.) So now I have a cleanish desk, I get stuff done more quickly and with less procrastination and self inflicted emotional distress. HOWEVER..... The real benefit to me came not from in the areas that I sought self improvement but in other facets of my life that (because I was so focused on the stress I was causing myself over meaningless crap from work) I had no idea were so important to me. Because I was stressing over the wrong stuff, I was drinking way too much, eating too much, and not communicating particularly well with my family. Ian enabled me to understand my real goals, so that I could align my actions with achieving those goals, and reduce the time and energy I used to waste chasing false goals, or being distracted by things that didn't matter. Since completing my work with Ian I have lost over 30 pounds! I have lost all the weight I gained since starting up my company in 1992. I continue to lose weight steadily, I no longer eat or drink compulsively, I now only consume what I want to. I go to the gym much more regularly, now that I know it is important to me. (Before I was too preoccupied by distractions to realize this.) Even though I spend more time at the gym, I am getting more accomplished at work AND having more quality time with my family, because I am not burnt out and frustrated when I get home from work. (No more "Leave Daddy alone he needs to relax.") Ian's whole "Kind Ambition" thing and the mushy feelings stuff he talks about a lot are not really my cup of tea. But, as much as I hate to admit it, it does work, and has helped me with my communications with others. Most of all it has worked extremely well with my children (who are 5 and 7). I also am now much better at filtering my wife's comments, by recognizing that when she is tired/grumpy/angry what she says is not exactly what she means, so I make sure I do not give undue importance to the emotionally charged elements of her communications with me. I am much better at calming things down now, whereas I used to just ramp things up by adding my emotions to the fire as well. I highly recommend working with Ian, if not to achieve the desired results, but for the side effects, which for me turned out to be the real benefit.
