A Life Coach Journey to Fulfillment & Belonging

Updated: Feb 5, 2023



It takes someone with a vision of the possibilities to attain new levels of experience. Someone with the courage to live [their] dreams.

Les Brown


With so much going on (Hello Birthday), I neglected to share some fantastic news. I have been accepted into the next and last phase of my Co-Active Coaching Certification. Yay me!

Despite my ascension up to corporate ladder over the last two decades, as painstakingly described in a 2020 LeanIn.org study, I too have:

  • Experienced discrimination at work,

  • Successes that were discounted,

  • Experienced questioning and/or judgment regarding my ideas or competence, and

  • Been underrepresented in leadership roles.

Talk about exuding the courage to live out one's dreams. After not-so-great workplace experiences, and this is from the person who led Human Resources, a mentor encouraged me to be the change and create the change I wanted to see in our organizations.


Because of my own desires for fulfillment and belonging, I took that challenge as a reminder of my call to serve. I have shared before that I am an accidental entrepreneur. I always knew I had a passion early on in my career for creating equitable environments where people could be their best selves. Not too long after launching AllProfitHR, I began strategically envisioning how I could contribute to more systemic and permeable evolution at the roots of our organizational systems and small businesses. Despite the hierarchy of the organization or the many levels, the roots of the organization remain to begin and end with the people.


In this blog post, I share my call to define, evolve and inspire the development of the people - the organizational human capital - through the life coaching services AllProfitHR now offers.


A call to serve

At a very early age, I realized my purpose is to uplift, inspire, encourage, and support others to be their best selves. My soul is revived each time I have the privilege to pour into people and help them see they can choose their life. I recently heard a quote, “we have the power to live a full life, not just a productive one.” That resonates with me so profoundly because, for so long, I lived and was wistfully content with just a productive life. The Bible says that God wants us to have a more abundant life (John 10:10). As one who believes in God, I am doing a disservice by not choosing to live an abundant life.


My call to serve as a life coach is to help those ready to live a more abundant life, connect them to that purpose, and embrace the power within. I am most excited to coach black, indigenous, and people of color who are ready to claim or reclaim, their true sense of belonging and fulfillment in their workplace.




What is coaching

The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Coaches honor the client as the expert in his or her life and work and believe every client is creative and resourceful.
