Client Case Study Lara Gwyn - When I Grow Up

Client Case Study Lara Gwyn - When I Grow Up Um, do you know that Ive coached hundreds of women since I started offering dream career guidance in 2008? And that these women are freakin rock stars, leaving soul-sucking jobs and traveling the world and launching creative, grown-up businesses and simply doing work that fits their lifestyle goals? Well ya do now and youll hear their stories firsthand in my  Client Case Studies series! Lara and I started working together in October 2014, and I loved seeing her start her nutrition biz, host retreats, and teach courses in the last year and change. Such amazeballs stuff! Why did you decide to work with a creative career coach? I decided to work with a career coach to form my ideas of what I wanted to do with my career and move out of my 9-5. I needed someone to help solidify ideas and hold me accountable. What were you doing work-wise when we started our sessions? I was working at an energy company 9-5 in marketing. What was your biggest takeaway from our work together? How great it is to have someones unbiased opinion who will hold you to a game plan and help push you forward.  You  inspire people to go after what really lights them up and then help them create a path to make it real. You got ideas out of my head  into a tangible form so I could  build forward momentum. You stood by my side  and was a cheerleader along the way to keep going and digging, even though  what I originally thought I wanted to do wasnt what I ended up pursuing.    You were  very much on my side and were great at holding me accountable to help reach goals while navigating the details of rolling out my dreams. You have a knack for listening and honing in on my passion. Was there anything else you tried to do as a career between the time we stopped our sessions and what you do for work now? If so, how did it inform your current career? No, I didnt try anything else. What would you tell someone now that was in your shoes when we first started working together? Whats your best tip to allow them to make a grown-up living doing what they love? Step out and take action with what you think you want to do. One action will build a path. Sometimes we must be in action to have a path appear. Dont overthink, just go do and see what pops up. Whats on the horizon for your business? Wed love to hear about any upcoming offerings or goals! Im partnering with a local yoga studio to teach a nutrition workshop in August and I plan to continue to plan more to keep me in action until I can figure out next steps into a career.  Im basically playing it by ear right now until I can come up with how I want to manifest what I really want to do. Aw, Lara is the best!
