meeting yourself exactly where you are is the fastest way to get to where you want to go.
Several years ago, I did something completely unexpected.
Amid a successful career as an actress in film and television in Los Angeles and New York, I stopped. I had recurring roles on two television series and had appeared in several other TV shows and films, and yet, the work began to feel hollow. I realized that I had lost my sense of self and creativity somewhere along the way.
I felt stuck and knew there was so much more to me.
Eventually, after a stint traveling through Italy, I moved back to New York City, where I taught and coached actors before being presented with an unexpected opportunity, working in sourcing and developing fabrics for Tory Burch, Intimidatingly, I said YES. I traveled around the globe, working with and learning from incredible people, building memorable relationships and good business. Even though I loved this new world, there was something else I was meant to do. I realized I was more interested in developing relationships than developing products. In meetings, I would drive conversations toward a greater purpose, and peers and colleagues began seeking me out for guidance and advice on navigating the corporate world.
Suddenly, something opened up and clicked. Being a part of someone’s evolution was my highest sense of connection.
I listened to that voice inside, I left the fashion industry, and applied to a program at Brown University, where I earned my certification in Executive Leadership and Communications Coaching. Today, I work with executives from major corporations in various corporate sectors to hone their communication and presentation skills. I give them a space to build on their executive presence and create the confidence and credibility that enhances their journey.
This work fulfills a deep and simple joy in me. Communicating and connecting with others and being a part of the unveiling of one’s own mastery is nothing short of exhilarating!
