About me
I'm Lynn George
I’m Lynn, a former Career and Technology high school teacher working with “at-risk” youth turned Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation.
In 2012, I successfully transitioned out of the classroom.
After five years in the classroom, I realized that secondary education is not want I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
I am passionate about equipping you with the mindset and career strategies to work and lead your career meaningfully.
After leaving the education field, I became a Workforce Development Manager of Career Programs and I have taken everything I know from working in the career development field for over 15 years and personal experience to help you transition successfully.

How it all started
I’m Haitian-American, born and raised in beautiful, sunny Florida, where my parents migrated to upon arriving in the USA in the ’70s. Growing up, I watched my mother work hard jobs like migrant worker and housekeeping to provide what we needed. My mother would often tell me, “when you grow up, work hard and do more than what I’m doing,” However, I became a mom at 16, so I thought my dreams of going to college and getting a good job were shattered. Eventually, I would learn that advancing my career would take more than hard work. It would take building value-added relationships and influencing skills and a belief system that I am enough. Becoming a mom was the fuel I needed to drive my passion for purpose. Getting kicked out of high school a few months before my high school graduation, failing the GED 3x before I passed it, failing all of my college courses my first year of college, and a boss from hell did not keep this firecracker digging deep to uncover the brilliance within. I was determined to transform the legacy of my family and it would start with me. No matter how big the dream, you have everything in you to make it happen. Dream Big!
How It Is Going Now
Do you have dreams, goals, or desires for a career you have only imagined? It's time to make those dreams a reality.
How do you do that, you ask? Mindset, whether we see things in life as opportunities to grow and learn OR we accept things as they are believing that they cannot be changed, mindset is at the core of all success, the transformation of values we hold, and the behaviors we exhibit.
My Core Values
Purpose
Purpose is becoming and every human being has value and purpose.
Community
Success does not happen alone. You need people.
Leadership
Owning your career and your development is the leadership needed to push your career forward.
Passion
Belief in yourself must be combined with conviction of your vision.
What I Believe
- Purpose isn't just about a career but helping you work in your career purpose is my life's work.
- I believe that everything up until now is the wisdom you need to walk into your purpose-driven work.
- I believe you have the power to create the life you dream to live. You only need to believe it.
- I believe confidence is the by product of our effort and the more effort we put in and learn from those efforts, the more we grow in confidence.
