The new mantra for me was that I am going to focus on experiences rather than material things. My life’s tune became, I do not need anything new. 2020 with all its woes confirmed the value of this tune.

I am a passionate career literacy and gifted education advocate! If you like talking about either of my two passions, let’s chat!
I am a certified career and academic coach.
I have been working from home since 2013! I developed a private career coaching practice Right Career Fit, earned a Master of Education, a Doctor of Education as well as a professional career coaching certificate. The success of my private practice is a testament to my talent development and resource planning skills. I am a lifelong learner with a natural intellectual curiosity and I love challenges.
Presenting and attending conferences across North America (in person and virtually) reflect my belief in the value of advocating for my two passions. I am also constantly looking for opportunities to influence public policy and increase support for the teaching and learning communities with a focus on inclusive career practices in Canada and globally. This is why I am a Chair/Board Director on various Boards.
Life is a mix of significant losses and unforeseen challenges as well as amazing opportunities and unanticipated gains for many of us. I hope everyone is doing well...Despite all of this, each of us survives in our own way. Yet we continue to feel overwhelmed and concerned about the forces that can come next. I encourage you to get involved in your communities, personal or professional. There is nothing like having the support of people who care about you during life's ups and downs.
To close, I strive to be a spokesperson for the importance of career education and continue to work with a variety of media to create awareness of its value. I am on a mission to have #careerliteracy trend across social media. If you care to join me, let’s chat!
Please STOP! Do NOT Find Your Purpose Nor Your Passion
I focus on navigating career direction rather than discovering purpose. Reflecting on a question such as, what you would like to do now or next? is so much easier than, what is your purpose or passion? My direction is clear and guided by my objectives, core values and vision. What do you think?
