Green Growth Coaching

I'm so excited and honored to be joining a group of amazing Eagle County based organizations and businesses to bring you the "Food, Land and Climate" event during our Climate Action Week!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
When the Mayor of Vail, Dr. Kim Langmaid, invited me to be a panelist for this event, she said: "I think of your work as "food" for our minds and well-being."​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
It is absolutely amazing to have our leaders recognize the importance of the wellness, mindset and spiritual aspect of climate action!! 😍😍😍​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Come see me and join the fun on April 22nd at Colorado Mountain College in Edwards! ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If you can't make it, let me know in the comments what you want to know about "Food, Land and Climate"!

I'm thankful for my weird brain. 😂​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Yup. My brain is basically like an automatic popcorn machine, popping out ideas and thoughts all the time. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
You might think "that doesn't sound too bad", but there has been many moments in my life where I have:​​​​​​​​
😬 felt so exhausted by all the thoughts​​​​​​​​
😬 been overwhelmed by the number of ideas and not know what to decide​​​​​​​​
😬 had to tone it down so that I can actually move into "real work" instead of just coming up with more ideas.​​​​​​​​
😬 had a really difficult time niching down in my business due to the many directions I want to go into.​​​​​​​​
😬 had to work extra to realize all the projects that I want to do.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Long story short, I've had to really control and manage who I naturally am in order to be productive.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
But not anymore! Being a sustainability consultant, I'm actually encouraged to have as many crazy ideas as possible! ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
When I work to solve the challenges associated with implementing sustainability, my brain automatically does what it does best: coming up with creative solutions and ideas (without me trying very hard)! ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I'm having fun being myself + doing what I love + being compensated well for it. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
This is what happens when you step into a role that allows your unique quirk to shine. 😉​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
What is a "quirk" that sometimes bothers you or gets in the way of your career development? How can it actually work for you? Share in the comments below!

Picture this: You spend 30 minutes answering a ton of questions in a career assessment and receive a list of suggested careers that are just DISCOURAGING because none of them seems to apply to you. Instead of helping you, you feel that personality or career assessments are just USELESS. You feel even more lost than before. 😩​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
TRUTH: career assessments are not useless. BUT - ​​​​​​​​
❌ It's just not easy to interpret the results by yourself,​​​​​​​​
❌ most 'free' internet assessments are not reliable,​​​​​​​​
❌ the assessment result DOES NOT cover everything you need for career satisfaction.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
To reach career satisfaction, you need to know 4 things:​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
1️⃣ WHO you are​​​​​​​​
2️⃣ WHY you want to work​​​​​​​​
3️⃣ WHAT do you want to do​​​​​​​​
4️⃣ WHERE would you be the happiest​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Career assessments usually just show you the WHAT and the WHERE. You need to know the WHO and the WHY too!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
A fully qualified career coach can help you with BOTH understanding your WHO and WHY as well as interpreting the results of your career assessment, aka your WHAT and WHERE. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If you want to know more, DM me "CAREER" for a free consultation. You will finally have all the pieces of the career-satisfaction puzzle!

What would a non-morning person do at 5:45 am when it's dark and snowy outside? Talk to a bunch of enthusiastic kids about Green Careers of course!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the last week of February, I gave 4 virtual guest lectures through the Green Careers Speakers Series by to a total of 171 elementary school students in Houston, Texas.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Using my own career path as an example, we talked about how the students can develop Green Careers and help the environment with their natural talents!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was such a fun experience being streamed into multiple classrooms at the same time. Even at a distance, I felt the enthusiasm, excitement and curiosity of the students. I especially loved answering all the questions!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you CELF for organizing this amazing opportunity. I had so much fun!

I’m super excited to start my next phase of professional development today!! I’m working on becoming certified!!

To be honest, these two certifications have been on my list since 2017, after I finished my initial training as a career and academic advisor. But I prioritized other trainings such as UX design, ICF coach training and certificate in Adult Education for the next few years.

Since receiving my US Green Card though, I know it’s finally time to go full circle with my training in career counseling. It’s now a field that I’ve had two years to fully experience and can still happily say that I enjoy with a great amount of joy and passion!

With these two trainings, I’m also excited that I will be expanding my practice into the branch of college counseling. I have met so many amazing young changemakers in the last couple of years and I can’t wait to be better equipped to help them!

I feel like a true saying all these things. 😂🙈

Which of the are you? Tell me in the comments 👇😃

The darkness in the world this week has got me down 💔. I've been glued to YouTube and Live Updates about the Ukraine-Russian crisis and avoiding social media because it's all too much on top of the news. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Thanks to my friend and coaching colleague for reminding me of this quote by . If your heart is also feeling heavy, I hope this quote helps. It helped me. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Amidst the darkness, I feel awe-inspired by the incredible heroism, bravery and resilience displayed by Ukrainian leadership and citizens defending not only their country but others 💙💛! ​​​​​​​​

I had some big climate conversations this week with some of my city's top officials.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
It was awesome because there are a lot of good things happening! But I also learned about many challenges.
​​​​​​​​
I've been reflecting a lot and I really found this infographic (still) so very helpful.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I learned that the main challenge we face as a city is that there are still too many people stuck in the "comfort zone" about climate action and sustainability. Is that surprising after all this time? Not really, but it's still disappointing, and a good reminder that my work is far from done. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Where do you identify yourself on this graph? Where do you hope to be this year? Share in the comments below! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Thank you ever so much for this brilliant infographic.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

What are you doing when nobody is keeping tabs on you? 👀​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Motivation is a HOT topic in my field to help answer why people do or do not achieve their goals, whether it's learning a language, becoming more sustainable, or changing their careers.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I love talking bout motivation, too. That's why I am doing my Enneagram series on how your personalities tie into your core motivation style and how all that knowledge is going to help you achieve the things you want.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
But motivation can only take you so far.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If you solely rely on motivation, you may find yourself TALKING (maybe a lot) about how much you want something, but taking very little ACTIONS to get after it. Soooo...you don't see any real results. 😩😩😩​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
When that happens, it is clear that you don't have the discipline muscle to match your level of motivation. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Discipline means:​​​​​​​​
💪 Doing the thing when nobody is keeping tabs on you​​​​​​​​
💪 Finding the time to do the thing after work/school ​​​​​​​​
💪 Figuring out different ways to do the thing when it's not working out (instead of giving up)​​​​​​​​
💪 Doing the thing even on those days when you don't feel motivated​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Discipline can be hard, yes, but thankfully, it can be trained, just like your muscles. 💪​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The most amazing people in the world did it. You can too!!!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
When you pursue what you feel highly motivated to do with an intense amount of discipline, MAGIC happens. ✨✨✨​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Do you feel like you need a boost to start building your discipline muscle? If so, DM me "💪" and I will send you the perfect guide to get started!

9 types of personalities: Which one(s) are you and how do they impact your success? 🧐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm excited to announce that my good friend and colleague Liz and I are going to be doing 9 weekly Lives to talk about how the 9 Enneagram personality types can impact what you want to achieve in your career and health!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

According to Dr. Jerome D. Lubbe, functional neurologist, and author of “The Brain-Based Enneagram: You Are Not a Number,” the Enneagram can be "a useful tool to understand your personality, strengths, and challenges in life. It can also help us to examine how we relate to ourselves, others, and our world."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⏰ Starting MONDAY JAN 24th, at 9 am PST / 12 pm EST, we will be delivering this series every week.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
