Here is Suzannah’s “Aha Moment” story:

My “aha” moment was of all places in Bordeaux, France. There I was on a work trip with my wine company visiting a stunning chateau winery that we had just bought.  I was standing in a gorgeous wine barrel room tasting $100 bottles of wine and I was absolutely miserable.

Not because I couldn’t appreciate what I was experiencing but because I felt the need to appreciate it more. As I was listening to the winemaker, who barely spoke any English, there was one thing that was impossible to miss.

This man LOVED what he was doing.  You could see it in his eyes and hear it in his voice.

He was born to do this. He was passionate about his work.

I realized that while I wasn’t passionate about wine (though I do enjoy it), I wanted to feel like this man did about his job. When I got home from that trip, I saw a coach myself and two weeks later I quit my job and started training as a coach.

And as I later sat in a room full of coaches, I thought to myself, “you guys get paid to do this?!” And that’s the moment that I realized that it is possible to get paid to do what you love.

I help you to find what your purpose is. I help you to get that job or grow that business. I help you create a concrete action plan and I hold you accountable to make sure you do it.
