I chose the path of education after leaving 'Corporate America' back in 2000. And like most teachers around the five year mark, I became burnt out. So I decided I wanted to become a school librarian so I could have the best of both worlds, education and administration.
I have always loved being behind the scenes by helping those that I support look good, and allowing them the freedom that they need to do their job to deliver their services to their clients. I loved doing that on my job, which is why I chose to work as a School Library Media Specialist for the past six years, because I loved making teachers look good by providing them with the resources they needed to teach enriching lessons to their students. Now turned that into my business.
So what happened was I got tired of doing this and being unappreciated. The reason I run my business now is because I needed to have an appreciative boss, and now it’s me! I feel validated, valued, and respected. Now in my business I can be that amazing support that you need to be successful in your business. I am thriving, happy and ready to move forward. My personal philosophy has been working to live not living to work.
When I was searching for my business brand I likened it to cooking a nice pot grits. I could not cook them no matter what I tried. However, about a decade ago I just stopped trying. Not because I'm a quitter, but I realized I wasn’t good at preparing them—much less passionate about cooking them. So I stopped the madness. I focused more on what I was great at doing. My Advice to coaches is stop looking for something your you’re not passionate about! Create a brand that sets you apart. This is your recipe for success!
I believe what makes me authentic and unique as a coaches’ virtual assistant/consultant is the energy I possess that radiates and transfers to other people that makes them feel at ease.
