WOW! Success is attainable!

For those of you who know me and have worked or kanoodled with me, you know that I am an extremely motivated and inspired woman. 

I love what I do. 

Heck, I get to draw, write and create for a living. I work with purpose, and seek out clients who share my vision with a commitment to excellence, a drive to help community and a sense of accountability to the environment.

It pays the bills. But, that's not why I do what I do. I work in brand management because I care about making a difference in lives, even in a small way, and it is that commitment which is felt by my clients in every project I choose to undertake.

Where does the motivation come from?

Back in December, I received a welcome email from Enterprising Moms Network, of which I am a fervent and cheerleading member. I believe Kelley Scarsbrook has hit the nail on the head for entrepreneurial moms. In the email footer, I saw an offer from Brita McLaughlin Coaching for a 30 minute leadership coaching session.

What the heck, I thought, let's give it a whirl. My goals for a successful business, the inception of my first novel, and my desire for work-life balance drew me to the concept of coaching in order to fulfill my purpose. I had no expectations, and jumped in with eyes closed and ears open.

What ensued was an entirely unexpected reconnection to my inspired self, my intuitive heart-based thinking, and a tap in the direction of my own definition of success. I am extremely grateful to Brita for her weekly telephone coaching calls, the proactive homework assignments, and the paradigm shifts I am experiencing.

Brita and I connected ideologically and emotionally, and she invited me to be a part of co-hosting the 2009 Women With Heart annual Glam and Glog with herself and Denise Wooten. This experience has motivated me to further action, and connected me to a community of women who inspire me on a daily basis.

I am proud to say that I was nominated for the 2010 Woman of Worth Award in the category of Spirit and Soul. More importantly, I am privileged to say that Brita was honoured last week to be nominated and has been named a Finalist for the 2010 Woman of Worth Award in the categories of both Leader of the Year and Spirit and Soul.
