The Emergence of From Balance

After more than a decade in corporate life and a recent relocation to New York, I felt the time had come for change. Truth be told, this had been under way for quite some time, however sometimes desire and practical circumstances must come together for new things to happen.

Having worked with people my entire professional life, it wasn’t as though a career in HR wasn’t meaningful to me, or that I wasn’t experiencing success. Rather, it felt like there was a longing for something more. Something closer to my purpose and somehow making better use of my personal life story and potential.

Arriving in my 6th country over the course of 20 years, adapting to change was no stranger to me. However, changing the question from: How do I make this work? to: What do I want to do? felt different and overwhelming. Knowing what you don’t want is, after all, not the same as being certain of what you do want…

As a coach I know the power of tweaking the question. So instead of seeking external answers, I began to explore the inner response to the questions: What am I most passionate about? and: What do I know that I am good at?

The uncensored answers (before all the ifs and buts) was: Having meaningful conversations and: Inspiring vision and clarity in others. Along with this came a desire to design concepts and development tools targeting women and balancing the perspective of mind, body and spirit. 

During the quarantine months of COVID-19, ideas were slowly being developed and matured. Challenging the vulnerability associated with starting something new (causing my imposter syndrome and inner perfectionist to flare up), I am finally ready, and thrilled, to share the initial steps of the vision I have for From Balance.

Reminding myself of the lyrics by song writer Tina Dickow: “Sometimes the fastest way to get there is to go slow…”: May this become a resourceful platform and community, connecting clients and business partners in a common pursuit of female empowerment!

Love,
