Frequently Asked Questions About Life & Career Pivot Coaching

About Life Pivot Coaching

What does a life pivot coach do?

I help you uncover your next chapter. You are probably here becasue you have this unspoken thought that maybe there is something more to life, but it feels scary to say outloud. I help you find the courage to truly ask yourself what you want and go after it!

Who is life pivot coaching for?

Life pivot coaching is perfect for those who have seemed to reach the 'success plataeu' and are looking around thinking: "Ok, what is next?". Maybe you climbed the corporate ladder, built a business that is going well, or have just been in a career for a long time and it's not fulfillin gyou as it once was. This is your chance to purposefully design a future you are excited for instead of letting the years go by doing the same thing just becasue everything is 'fine.'

What’s the difference between a life pivot and a career pivot?

Honestly, not much. Many people come to me for a career pivot and find their whole life has changed as well. We spend most of out time in our jobs, so it is a huge part of our life. I help you design your next chapter of your career or business around the life you want to lead, not the other way around.

Is life pivot coaching only for women changing careers?

A life pivot does not mean you have to change careers or your business. It can mean creating better boundaries, work/life balance, getting a more desireable position or salary in your current job. It all really starts with what you want, what you truly want, and going from there.

Also - it's not just for women. I have many men who are clients and find this work jsut as valuable :)

Feeling Stuck Despite Being Successful

Why do I feel stuck even though I’m successful?

It's so unfair right? You put in the work, you followed the path, you have the car, the house, the savings...and now you are here. The truth is, we are meant to always be growing. Once we reach a destination, it's nice for a while, but without something pulling you forward (a vision of a future you can't wait to have) you start to feel stuck, stagnant, and empty.

You have reached society's definition of 'success' and this is your chance to redifne what that means for you and design a life you are excited to live again.

Is it normal to want more when life looks good on paper?

Yup, totally normal. It feels a little greedy, a little ungrateful. Especially when you see others struggling. Here's the catch - you don't have to stop growing because others are not going along with you. And as you grow, and you start to love your life - guess what? You radiate happiness, joy, and confidence. And THAT is contagious. We want to bring more happiness, joy, and excitement into this world. So don't hold yourself back when you have so much more to give.

What if I feel unfulfilled but not burned out?

You are on the right path! Unlike me, you didn't wait until you were in the depths of burnout to do something about your unfullfilment. And I am here to tell you -> do not wait until that point! If you are feeling the pull now, but feel like everything is 'ok' or 'fine' this is your sign to start making changes now. they don't have to be big pivots or burning bridges. Just start the work of defining your next chapter (before you decide it's too painful and compeltely jump ship!)

Am I ungrateful for wanting a different life or career?

It can feel like that, especially when you see others struggling. You can be both proud of where you are and want to go even further (or do something completely new).

Here's the catch - you don't have to stop growing because others are not going along with you. And as you grow, and you start to love your life - guess what? You radiate happiness, joy, and confidence. And THAT is contagious. We want to bring more happiness, joy, and excitement into this world. So don't hold yourself back when you have so much more to give.

Career Pivot–Focused Questions

How do I know if it’s time for a career pivot?

You scan LinkedIn for new jobs but you don't actually know what you are looking for

You are starting to care less about work that once excited you

You feel like maybe you are being left behind, but don't have energy after work to figure out what you want

Can I change careers without starting over?

Yes! Even if you start a career in a new industry or start a new business you are never starting from scratch. You are bringing all of your experience and leadership with you. We work together to find ways to pivot without completely blowing up your life. The key question is "How Can I...?"

Do I need to quit my job to work with a career pivot coach?

Nope! I don't encourage anyone to quit unless they are ready and have a plan. This journey is about discovering what you want, who you want to be and then building a plan form there.

How can I make a career change without burning bridges?

Each person has a different path. We work on your vision, your desires, and build a custom plan to help you pivot with minimal disruption to your life. If you see certain friends, colleagues, and family memebrs as an important part of your future - then we make sure all your moves align with that vision.

The Activate Your Future Self™ Framework

What is the Activate Your Future Self™ Framework?

Based in Future Self Psychology, The AFS framework empowers you to embody the most successful version of you NOW (in the present).

Imagine having the confidence, presence, and energy of the version of you who has expereinced all of your wildest dreams!

We do this through 4 phases:

1. Reset Your Timeline: Expand your possibilities and get your baseline to NOW (release past regret and future anxiety)

2. Meet Your Future Self: Get a true, authentic vision of who you are becoming; This is your new Guide

3. Systemize around Energy: Ditch SMART goals, we start with who you BE then what you do.

4. Embody Your Future Self NOW: Embody your FS in all senses and live life from HER energy in the NOW.

How is future self coaching different from traditional coaching?

Research shows that a persons past does not drive or dictatetheir actions and behaviors. Rather, we are pulled forward by our future. Most coaching and therpay help you uncover past experiences that are effecting your behavior (and therfore your results) today. While it is nice to know and be aware of things in your past that cause you to react today, it is not necessary. Future Self Coaching connects you with the version of your future that you want to go towards. We redirect your daily focus from fear or autopilot decsions to possibilities. Once you change your thoughts, you change your behavior, you change your life.

What is identity-based coaching?

Your Identity is based on the vision you have for yourself. When you change your vision, your identity changes, which in turn, immediatly changes the flow of your thoughts and behaviors.

Instead of teaching how to have boundaries, or deifning your purpose statement (which are all by-products of your identity) - we work on your vision. This is the root cause of your idnetity, thoughts and behaviors.

How does future self psychology help with life or career decisions?

When you change (or refine) your vision, you are changing your identity. Your identity drives your thoughts and behaviors. Through this process, you exapnd your idea of what is possible, where you can go, what you can achieve. As you get more aligned with the future self you desire, your resilience increases, your life becomes more meaningful, and you start to focus on what is important for your future self (in the moment). The only way to get off the day-to-day hamster wheel is to focus on the important.
