“I’ve been in corporate for decades, and I know that changing companies, departments, or bosses isn’t the answer.⁣ But what’s left?” she asked me expectantly. “Oh, Julia,” I said, “there’s a much bigger world than what you can see from that ladder.” If you feel like Julia, you’re not alone. So many executive women reach a point where the corporate career path feels more like a hamster wheel than an upward climb. And when it no longer feels right, it’s time for something different. If you’re a seasoned leader ready to transform your 20+ years of experience into something that fills you with purpose, here’s what’s possible: ✅ Create a business with a simple, proven structure—and still have massive flexibility.⁣ ✅ Match your salary and go on to even greater earning power—on your own terms.⁣ ✅ Do work that drives you—without the commute. Curious if consulting is right for you? Stop wondering and start taking action! My latest quiz helps you determine if you have what it takes to thrive as a consultant—and how to avoid your most likely pitfalls.

“So THAT happened.” The three little words that seem to sum up every hiccup, good fortune, and plot twist of life. The journey to purpose and a legacy worth leaving is rarely a straight line. It’s a path lit by the wisdom and guidance of those who have walked it before us—or those who push us beyond what is known. Reading Erin Aquin and Steve Haase's book "Superabound" (recommended by amazing Passport coach Bev Aron!), I’m reminded of the immense value coaches bring to our lives, helping us find the light to navigate even the most challenging moments. 🕯 From my early days as a young basketball player to the peaks of my professional life, I’ve always had a coach by my side. Coaches have supported me through building and selling businesses, honing my vision for the future, and even deeply personal moments like losing my mom. The lesson? Growth is endless and can often come at you sideways. Yet, if you look and listen hard enough, there’s always another lantern ahead, lighting the way toward your next chapter, your bigger vision. And when life throws you the inevitable “So THAT happened” moments, having a proven coach by your side is the difference between losing sight of the path and moving forward with purpose. Onward, friends! #Superabound #HireACoach #WomenConsulting

Are you really fulfilled where you are right now? Here’s a good test. Are you still unfulfilled and burned out… - Even after you’ve gotten the next-level promotion? - Even after getting the raise and bonus that comes along with it? - Even after you’ve changed bosses, or department, or heck, even your company? If you’ve been feeling the pull toward more freedom, more control, and more fulfillment, then it’s time to consider a different path—one where you’re calling the shots.

“I’m anxious about finding clients. I desperately need proven strategies to attract and retain clients consistently. I really don’t want to go back to corporate.” Feeling anxious about finding clients is completely normal, especially when you’re transitioning from the corporate world. But here’s something to consider... Attracting the right clients isn’t just about having the right strategies—it’s about having the right mindset. 🧠 You’ve built a successful career by delivering value, solving problems, and building relationships. Consulting isn’t so different—it’s about doing the same things, but on your terms. ✨ The key is to align your business with clients who need what you uniquely offer. And to do that, you need to: — Get clear on the specific value you bring to the table — Know what pitfalls to avoid that might hold you back — Design a structure that consistently attracts the right people This is where my quiz comes in. It’s not just about figuring out if consulting is for you—it gives you an honest assessment of where you are right now, what’s been working (and what hasn’t), and what steps you need to take next. You don’t have to go back to corporate to feel secure. In fact, you may know better than anyone how insecure that environment truly is. You just need a clear plan to move forward with confidence.

Sometimes your best effort is not enough. I’ve experienced this on a particularly difficult challenge over the past year. We’ve been trying to help women in Passport build their biz dev skills. Truth is, even for an experienced salesperson, opening an account from scratch is a rare, challenging skill. IYKYK We tested multiple approaches, but just could not unlock the transformation we know is possible. My best effort still never felt good enough. Until… My partner in crime, Corinne Chinchilla and I spent over 40 hours re-working every coaching lesson, revising over 200 slides and completely revamping what we call our Million Dollar Playbook. And today…I could have cried when our current cohort learned the art of connection in our coaching call. How to be human, make genuine connections with their prospects and add value ahead of a sales process. We took away the creative burden of how to connect, what to say, and how to spark conversations by writing dozens of scenario responses they face every day. The response was magic 🪄 It would have been so easy to give up on this pursuit but I knew we could simplify this process and teach it to others in a doable way. I try to model imperfect action and B- work, but anyone who really knows my heart knows I’m obsessed with helping women build flexible lifestyle consulting businesses that help them go onto even greater earning power. I’m really proud of myself and Team ThriveHive. It takes a village!
