I spent the first 45 years of my life on Oughta-Pilot.
As with many others, I am the product of an emotional abusive childhood. No matter how hard I tried, I could never do anything right. Sound familiar?
When I think of how hard I worked to please my parents, my spouse(s), and others, always submitting and giving up that part of myself that was dying inside from lack of nurturing.
Even when I became a mother and responsible for someone else’s childhood, I tried so hard to live for her and make sure she was not as sad as I had been growing up.
For the next 18 years I was in survival mode; doing whatever it took to pay the bills while still trying to do what I was “supposed to do”.. The concept of enjoying life was not one I was familiar with any longer. My daughter grew, and was in Middle School when I met Dan McBride and Ken Lutz who taught me to be a sales trainer.
I’ve spent my life starting over after adversity. About every 7 years when I was little, we were blown out of our home by one typhoon or another. I made wrong relationship choices and lost everything several times including the roof over my head. I’ve been injured on the job and flat on my back from botched medical procedures; but I always get up and keep going. I share how in several of my workshops.
But the biggest change happened when I woke up one morning and declared that I was through doing what I was "supposed to" and it was time to do what I loved and what made life worth living.
I thought about my options and created this, my current inca
ation as a trainer and facilitator. I did what I have advised so many of my clients to do - I disconnected my “oughta-pilot” and am living a life of my own creation, living by MY own rules.
Are you doing what you were born to do or what you’ve been told to do?
I specialize in creating possibility, rekindling passions and rediscovering what we were born to do and I reinforce that discovery by creating processes and systems to keep them available. Let's talk about what we can do to create your dream.
