🧐 Are you an ambitious, professional woman look 🧐 Are you an ambitious, professional woman looking to take your career to the next level to make a greater impact? If so, listen. I’m here to help you leverage your skills, gifts, and talents to attract and create opportunities that will help you fulfill your purpose, brand your brilliance, and become a successful leader. As your career guide, I will provide you with the coaching you need to make your career dreams a reality. My years of corporate experience and career coaching in the professional world will give you the insight and guidance needed to become a successful contributor and leader. Here’s what’s getting in the way: You tell yourself, "work hard and they will notice": 👉🏾Deep down you know you are created for more and desire to unleash the impact that you are uniquely designed to make 👉🏾but you’re allowing a pre-described path to get ahead in your career —get a job, keep your head down, work hard, and “grind”— to keep you unfulfilled and stuck feeling undervalued and underpaid. You’ve probably figured that out by now that these feelings keeps you wanting more because the essence of who we are is purpose. You deserve a life, business, and career that embodies the leader you were born to be and doesn’t come at the expense of your happiness, health, and relationships. 👉🏾The truth is… You have everything you need to grow your career and as a leader... 👉🏾You just need to trust yourself. 👉🏾You need the confidence to make decisions and not second guess yourself. 👉🏾You need to stop procrastinating, and stop getting in your own head and overthinking everything. 👉🏾You need to be more consistent and more visible (and more consistently visible). And to do all of that, you need the proper support, a guide, and a friend 👇🏾 Don’t be shy, let’s connect. #career #careercoach #careerdevelopment #purposedrivenwoman #careerwomen #leadercoach #womenleadership #womenleaders
How long will you wait for someone else to tell yo How long will you wait for someone else to tell you when you can grow your career (via promotion) or how your career progresses versus giving yourself permission to step into the work that brings you joy? I’m not just talking about passion but that skill you enjoy using to help others and leveraging this to do what you love. It’s up to you to do the work of learning you, defining your brand, and creating opportunities that attracts your clients, jobs, contracts, and more. I remember when I discovered that I love to teach and share knowledge with others that helps them in some way. Whether that be a sale I’ve learned about, a great product or tool, or information that helped me in some way. Through much work, I realized that this gift of sharing knowledge to empower others can be enjoyed through teaching, speaking, or advising someone on their career. Whether you want to get promoted to leadership Express yourself through writing or speaking Start a business Become a consultant as a side hustle or part-time Or Freelance YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!! Listen to me!!! I became a consultant without any prior consultancy experience. I had expertise someone needed and guess what? Someone in a corporation reviewed my profile on LinkedIn then reached out. That’s how I started. I got my start with corporations even though I had never worked in what I considered corporate. What specifically did you do, you may ask? 👉🏾 I figured out what how I wanted to show up in my career as a thought leader and I just did that ish! 👉🏾 I began with my LinkedIn profile. I realized that people on that platform are serious about learning and growing their careers and businesses (for real for real) and companies are their scouring the site for their next potential hire. Focus on your brand! Create from the inside out. Who are you and how do you want to show up? If you need to talk to someone with trained and gifted listening skills to hear what’s not being said to help you arrive to what needs to be known and seen in order to unleash limited beliefs hindering your progress, let’s talk.

Lead your career and design the work you want. A Lead your career and design the work you want. A colleague reached out on LinkedIn requesting a call with me. We get on the call and she ask questions about a company on my profile. Then she goes on to say the reason she reached out was because she has watched my career progression from afar and have been impressed with the growth and passion that I have for my work. This was the second person that has said this very thing. I shared with her that the key to a fulfilling career is designing and planning your career from the inside out. Often, I’ve read many posts asking what job role to transition to because they are tired of their career or hate their job. My advice? Lead your career to design the work you want. Career or business. 👉🏾Firstly, get clear about what you want. Not about a role or a title. What interests you? What’s important now is different from when you started? 👉🏾What are your strengths? My career took a turn when I uncovered the a skill that I love using to serve others and found and continue to find ways to develop. 👉🏾What interest you? There are levels of interests. ⭐️Surface interests=something cool 😎 to consider but you’re not interested enough don’t want to spend time exploring. ⭐️Mid interests- this level of interests is where you will spend a short amount of time exploring but nothing extensive. ⭐️Would do it if I had everything I need ”interests”= here you get giddy, excited and even light up when you’re talking about doing the “thing” Typically what gets in the way of you becoming is YOU. This is the long game which is why I only work with purpose-centered women (and men) to design the work you want to maximize your potential, purpose and your pay. I have a tool below to help you with this quickly but with great impact. #dreamjob #teachersofinstagram #careerchanger #careerchangecoach #careerchange #purposedrivenwomen

Development leads to growth. Growth leads to oppor Development leads to growth. Growth leads to opportunities. Many will miss out on opportunities because of the lack of humility to development. I get it. Learning is vulnerable because we have to admit that we are improving. In a society that promotes acting like you have it together makes it challenging to admit you are learning or need to learn and grow in an area. Let me be clear, not everyone deserves this level of vulnerability. However, insure pride is not getting in the way of learning that will expand opportunities and choices for you. To learn more about how you can expand your choices and leveraging your learning that creates opportunities for you, I invite you to attend my free Facebook live event happening Friday at 11am central: The Role and Power of Self-Awareness in Career Transition on Lynn George Consulting- Career by Design #livingthelifeofansweredprayers #leadhership
#lifelessons What I’ve come to realize is that #lifelessons What I’ve come to realize is that there are two kinds of people in the world: 👉🏾 One that lives like no one owes him/her nothing 👉🏾 The other lives as if someone owes him/her something One lives in gratitude the latter lives with a sense of entitlement. While both potentially will work hard, the one with a sense of entitlement works with resentment and bitterness. The other sees that past experiences made them stronger and are grateful for what they are becoming as a result. The grateful one will forgive but not forget while the other accuses constantly whenever he/she is emotionally triggered. I’m not about to preach this morning. Which are you? Selah
BEHIND SCENES: I am not gonna lie, prepping for a BEHIND SCENES: I am not gonna lie, prepping for a presentation is one of my happy places 😁 I am the student of what I’m about to present to my audience. I can know a subject but when preparing, I am become a student and this deepens the learning. I love that God has given me the ability to help people regain momentum to advance their careers (depth) but also be able to apply what I know and help other audiences (breadth). Recently, a VP asked in an interview, “how did you get to this place of passion and purpose?” It’s been years of pausing, reflecting, journaling, looking within, learning, making mistakes, embracing those mistakes, having people in my corner with my best interest give candid feedback, tweaking, crying,doubting myself, regaining confidence, clarity, then not so clear again, The point is the path to destiny is not straight. It’s squiggly 🤣 Be curious about the journey. PS: Happy Saturday #publicspeaking #publicspeaker #leadershipdevelopment #oublicspeakingforchurchleadership #churchleadership
Know your WHY. Over the last week, we've seen a Know your WHY. Over the last week, we've seen a more than qualified and Honorable Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson navigate with grace what we, as women and black women, face on a daily basis in the workplace (questioning our ability, experience, and value despite her qualifications). My firstborn son was the driving force behind my motivation as a teen mother. I'll confess that I didn't always get it right, but knowing that someone was looking over my shoulder gave me the motivation to keep going. They're watching (your children, the future generation of leaders,and aspiring leaders). Earlier in my career, I didn't know how to deal with microaggressions and toxic situations as a young professional black woman but my faith helped me to persevere. WHY kept me going in the face of adversity and now I get to do what I love with joy and make the choice to go where I’m celebrated rather than stay where I’m tolerated. Know your why and revisit it often. #persevere
I am grateful and humbled by the women I get to wo I am grateful and humbled by the women I get to work with daily and some within my network I don't work with daily but I see you. These women are trailblazers, champions, change agents, and warriors who pave the way for all women and girls to live in a world where women's day is more than just a trend but where we are celebrated regularly. Keep going, I see you, and I am honored to know you.

(Sigh) 🤦🏾‍♀️ It’s annoying to no en (Sigh) 🤦🏾‍♀️ It’s annoying to no end a business or brand with little to no online presence. Brand definition- simply put, your reputation. Clients, vendors, decision makers, recruiters, hiring managers will look you up on line first before reaching out to you. Sooooo, What we are NOT doing in 2022 is not having an updated and active online presence…and while you’re at it, your posts or what you put out there needs to be more than quotes and scriptures…mmmkay? In the Career Reimagined program, I help female leaders and rising stars establish a brand that gets you noticed for the purpose of career growth, generate impact at scale, expand your influence, and maximize your purpose for a fulfilling career. As a female leader, what is getting in the way of building or establishing your personal brand? #teachersofinstagram #dreamjob #iquitteaching #careerchanger #careerchangecoach #executivecoach #femaleleadership
I spend my days talking to beautiful people who TA I spend my days talking to beautiful people who TALK about what their significant dreamwork is and have known it for years but have yet to take action to create it. As a woman who had her first kid as a teenager and overcame challenges that would have made me a statistic (only around 2% of teen moms graduate college), I learned early on that what you desire in life requires intention and focus on getting it. Remember in Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill calls this "definiteness of purpose" (read the book, excellent read) Why do I share this, you ask? 👇🏾 Because some of us over-index on education because we lack confidence in our ability to influence, advocate for ourselves, and build relationships. Let's discuss. I grew up believing that you should not have relationships with people in upper leadership positions in organizations. Yet, it was my manager who advocated for my promotion and supported my goal to advance my career in workforce development. After leaving the classroom in 2011, I took a small pay cut to return to corporate, and after a year, the company informed me that there was no money in the budget to increase my compensation. I was ready to walk, but with the support of my manager, I decided to advocate for myself. I did some salary research and lobbied for myself. That year, the outcome was an $8,000 increase. It may not sound like much, but that experience taught me a valuable lesson. Learn how to influence in different situations to get what you want. If you're not prioritizing relationships and growing your influence to do the work you've been put on this planet to do, you will get left behind. The grave doesn't want your calling or your gifts. 👉🏾Take action 👉🏾Set goals 👉🏾Shoot your shot 👉🏾Grow personally and professionally 👉🏾Learn, practice, and grow 👉🏾 Pray and do the work What else would you add to this list? #growyourcareer #teachersofinstagram #iquitteaching #purposedrivenwoman
