Making successful transitions begins at home.

Charlene Li’s take in her Leading Disruption letter inspired me to discover how to set audacious versus attainable goals. 

“That’s the difference it makes: even if your goal is impossibly audacious, merely aiming for it will change the way you do things. And that ensures that you’re making a greater impact — and bringing yourself closer to that high goal — than aiming for something achievable.”

Giving my “business” a closing chapter initially left me feeling deflated.  But that was soon followed by a sense of relief. So much of that journey didn’t work out the way I envisioned it would.  Most importantly, all of my effort was going into chasing some vision.

Now, I’m letting go, cleaning up, and seeing what’s left.  It’s time to find better-fitting shoes.

Accountability

“I’d never heard of an accountability partner until I worked with Genevieve during college. I’m so happy she introduced me to the concept. The hourly check-ins with Genevieve kept me motivated and focused. I worked at a pace that ensured my project would be completed on time without burning myself out.

Since graduating I’ve incorporated this practice into all of my large projects at work.  I even serve as an accountability partner for colleagues all the time.

College student

I recently finished my freshman college year. At the beginning of the semester, I described myself as an independent woman who procrastinated and got overwhelmed. I didn’t like change. 

At my mom’s suggestion, I met with Genevieve to manage my daily schedule better.

As I reflect on the year, being coached by Genevieve helped me use my self-motivation effectively by making a college schedule that also included exercise, time with friends, and extracurriculars. I figured out where I procrastinated with academics, and how to take better actions to decrease that behavior.

 

Now, I’m still an independent woman and I feel much more capable and equipped to adapt and handle unexpected and uncomfortable situations as I reach the goals I set for myself.

I’m early in my career and decided to move away from where my family lives. My parents suggested I use a coach to support me during my job search.

 

Genevieve coached me as I found a new job. 

I’ve become more aware of how to network with other professionals and think about a career path.

 

She’s helped me to take more control of my daily life by having a balanced view of my responsibilities and what I care about.

High School Senior

“Through multiple Zoom calls and follow-up emails, Mrs. Griffin made me feel like I was absolutely ready to begin my college interview process.

During our work together she gave me the tools I needed to become comfortable with being interviewed by alumni of distinguished universities.

She showed me how to create the space to forget my anxious thoughts and present my true self to individuals who may seem intimidating at first glance.

I appreciate her kind approach. 

More About Me

Hi, I’m Genevieve.

One of the great pleasures in my life is meeting new people and learning how they connect with others – and me.   I’m looking forward to meeting you and hearing your story.

Our stories are an important component of our lives. I can share about backpacking in eastern and southern Europe before the end of the Soviet Union, and how a tiger’s roar shook my bones. I fist-bumped President Obama, too.  However, my favorite stories are about my family, travel, and how I’ve worked with clients.

Many of my stories show how I make choices and figure things out. Some of them are joyous, sad, or just funny.  I spend more than half of my time feeling uncomfortable.  Do you find this to be similar in your life?

 

Small Steps Go Places, and it’s easier if you wear shoes that fit.

Give yourself some attention and figure out what your fit means.
