Hello amazing humans! My incredible daughter Anna is starting off her career as an archeologist shortly. I’m wondering if any of you are or know practicing archeologists. If so, I’d be so grateful if you could message me. Anna is looking to gain insights on the profession and would love if you’d be willing to be interviewed by her. Thanks in advance!
(Note: This is Anna doing field work on the island of Nevis last summer.)

So THIS happened!
I’m excited to share that I’ve begun a new career adventure as the Chief Data Officer at CIBC. I’m ready for another impactful and fun ride with a fantastic organization, leveraging data to make ambitions real for our customers.
After a year away from the Corporate World, I realized how much I missed the pace, problems, and opportunities to drive real change in large organizations. Was this unexpected - definitely! Honouring what feels right for me and going for it.
So grateful for the many incredible people in my network who have offered their support and encouragement throughout my career, especially during my many career pivots. If your network is your net worth - I am richly blessed.
My passion to empower women to love their careers and live their greatness continues. Stay tuned.

So proud of my Anna (.ribbs ). She poured her creative talent and love into her embroidery project to honour her dear friend Sam, who died tragically in a car accident last November. I had no idea you could even create something like this with embroidery and it turned out beautiful - just like the friendship they shared. ❤️
Soak up all the moments while you can my friends.
Keep being amazing my Anna. 🧸

What are the things you do in your life today that you'd continue to do for free because of the positive emotional compensation you gain? What are the things that are challenging but not hard for you - things that put you in "your zone"? There is ease and flow to these activities and you are drawn in to them.
How many of these things also compensate you financially? Imagine experiencing your days in a way that provides both the emotional and financial compensation you desire?
In addition to gardening, I also feel emotionally compensated when I am coaching, mentoring or teaching. In many of my leadership roles, I was able to do these things and get paid for them. When I started believing I could do more of the emotionally compensating activities I wanted to do, and get paid to do them, I started to create a plan to create a life that would allow me to be "in my zone" much more often AND have money to pay for the things that were important to me. And here I am - running my own coaching business - a career choice I would never have predicted years ago.
One of my incredible clients, Jennifer Kerbel Poirier, Founder and Curator of also recognized the opportunity to spend more of her days working on things that allowed her to be in "her zone", and then built a plan to make it happen.
JOIN US Live on LinkedIn, Wednesday February 8, at 12:15pm ET, for Episode 2 of The Career Uprising Show: Passion Project to Business Venture. We'll discuss the twists and turns Jennifer has experienced, and the drive that keeps her moving forward.

Be ready to be inspired!

Are you counting down the days to the weekend, to vacation, to retirement? You know what's better than all these things? Creating and living a life NOW that you don't need to escape from.
It starts with believing it's possible. It starts with questioning what we are waiting for and getting really honest about what we want and what we are willing to do to get it.
Stop spending your energy lamenting about the daily grind. Start spending your energy moving towards days that are created and embraced by you. This path is not easy. It is empowering, worthwhile and fulfilling.
There’s no better time to create a career that you love than right now.
To help get you started, I’m offering a FREE replay of my Midlife Career Planning Webinar. Get access to it via the link in my bio or simply DM me!
