“Fitting in”

I often get asked how I went from being enlisted in the U.S. Army to becoming a massage therapist to becoming an executive coach.

While on the surface those careers seem divergent, my underlying motivation has always been the same: be adventurous, constantly learning, and serving others.

The perfect career is the one that allows you to grow into your own values, develop skills that continually excite you, and contribute to something greater than yourself.

Instead of trying to "fit" yourself into a role, think about how the role can be designed to utilize your best skills, working style, and interests.

Life goes by fast and there's no guarantee how long you'll live. Be intentional with your choices and recognize where you have agency to change your life.
