Is this the life I choose, is this really my story?
In my first career path, I was involved in planning and supporting strategic changes, human capital management and reorganization, computerization and automation work processes, for giant companies in the economy. The goal was to create and enable the change required for the company to respond to the developing market and future demands, and to create good and effective options in a competitive market. Over 12 years in the field, I have gained extensive and diverse experience both in the human aspect of working with managers and teams at all levels, and in the professional aspect from in-depth strategic thinking to a work plan, implementation and full support in the field. Everything worked great, right by the book. An excellent career, family, children, until a certain point in mid-life when I felt that something was no longer working for me, something significant that focused on the question of whether this was the whole story, whether this was my meaningful path? Is this the life I am choosing, is this really my story?
Expand personal boundaries, a second career
I took a break to see what really is and what is now. I traveled for a short and meaningful time to stop and examine things for a moment. I examined with myself what is truly important to me and meaningful to me, what I need and want to be present in my life and how I want my life to look from now on. How do you combine worlds? Career, parenting, personal development, and is there a connection to success between one area and another?
Along the way, I met professionals and spirits who helped me expand my knowledge and understanding of relationships and communication in an organization, group, and family relationships. I learned about creative thinking processes and building new ways to implement significant changes. I acquired practical, emotional, and developmental tools to advance people through personal and group processes. I gave myself time to learn and explore new directions and revolutionary worldviews, which are changing my perception and way of working with people, communities, teams, and organizations.
The answers I gathered have become my way of life and my professional practice in recent years as a professional personal trainer for people in the process of personal and professional change. Personal training for realizing dreams and courage to change, career training for professional advancement and effective conduct and choosing the right career, executive training for managers to promote leadership and professional development in leading people and processes, in coaching teams to create extraordinary achievements together, and as a group facilitator working with teams and communities to create clarity, a shared vision, and enabling communication.
All the knowledge and experience, the human encounters and processes in which I have taken part, are my empowerment and uniqueness that allow me to see and create a broader perspective and new possibilities.
A combination of love and curiosity in every human encounter
I incorporate curiosity, love for people, relationships, interactions, and life-changing processes into everything I do, and I am happy to be a partner in significant change processes for individuals, teams, organizations, and communities.
Whether dealing with personal or professional issues, our thought process, communication, beliefs, and perceptions that operate us are similar in all worlds and flow from there to here. Because ultimately, we bring ourselves everywhere.
How do you connect emotional and mental aspects to practical work, how do you create clarity, how do you understand what is really important and what I want now? Understanding how important it is to allow such a process to be in our lives, and how difficult it is to be in it, stressful, scary and even threatening, I help people and groups go through processes in a challenging and stimulating way, without breaking the tools, and without giving up on ourselves. I am happy and see it as a great privilege to be a partner in the significant change processes of women, managers, teams, organizations and communities. You can read about these processes on the “From Experience” blog .
What am I most proud of?
In my trainees who find their way even when it’s hard, in my clients who dare to challenge themselves and move forward. And also, proud of the courage I found in myself to be authentic and live my unique way, to be curious, to ask, and to change, despite fears and concerns, in order to achieve what is meaningful to me in my life. Proud of the family I created, and the many friends I gathered along the way. The most significant capital I have accumulated along the way is undoubtedly human capital.
What is beyond the profession?
I am a mother of two adult children, I love and raise animals, I write and take pictures for pleasure, I am an optimist by choice and I love being in spaces. The desert and the sea quickly connect me to freedom and inner peace and recharge me with energy. Together with music and good people, it is the necessary break from the race of life, which allows me to return energized and optimistic every time to every human encounter.
