Why Career Conversations?<\/b><\/h4>

Fresh out of college, I spent eight years of my life working for an insurance company.\u00a0 <\/span>Why? Because I had a great conversation with a woman at a job fair, and after my interview, this company happened to offer more money than the other job offers I received.\u00a0 <\/span>The step I missed was to actually to consider what I wanted to do<\/i>.<\/b><\/p>

The question, \u201cWhat kind of work could I pursue that would be enjoyable and fulfilling for me?<\/i>\u201d wasn\u2019t even on my radar.\u00a0<\/p>

I left my insurance job after those eight years and have been running my own businesses for the last nine years, the last four running a variety of coaching programs.\u00a0 <\/span>Today, I offer in-person adventure coaching sessions in beautiful natural places, and virtual session where I help others find their Ikigai (reason for being) and then translate it into meaningful, lasting, and fulfilling careers.<\/p>

This is me standing for you not spending your career doing something you arrived at in a chance, haphazard manner.\u00a0 <\/span>If you want to be intentional about designing<\/span> your career, you\u2019re in the right place.\u00a0<\/p>


About The Nature Effect<\/b><\/h4>

Apart from the one-to-one conversations with my coaching practice, I also have a commitment to participate in initiatives to restore and protect our ecosystems, particularly our oceans and forests.\u00a0 In partnership with the Foundation for Climate Restoration<\/a>, Clean Planet<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span>,\u00a0and the I am Humanity initiative, I also participate in partnerships to reimagine systems for human living that are balanced and harmonious with the natural world.<\/span><\/p>

On a personal note, I have a reverence for nature that leads me out into the wilderness as often as I can. I created “The Nature Effect” as a method for helping people connect on a deeper level with themselves and nature.<\/p>
