Isn’t it funny how life’s biggest plot twists often become our greatest gifts? A year ago, I was in year 18 of my Google career, comfortable but wondering if there was more. Then came the unexpected turn that changed everything.

While my change came from external forces, I was ready because I’d done the quiet work of understanding myself. Those moments of exploring what truly lit me up weren’t wasted – they were preparing me for what was next.

I’ve learned that when we feel stuck, we have three choices:
1) Stay put and wait for something to change
2) Jump ship without a plan
3) Take intentional steps toward what calls to us
(Spoiler alert: #3 is your power move!)

Today, I help professionals just like you transform their careers using my GROW framework:

*Goals that excite you
*Reality check on where you are
*Options that align with your values
*Winning actions to take NOW

If you’re feeling that gentle nudge toward something more, trust it. Your next chapter might be closer than you think.
