My Personal Story Using Assessments

I took the Strong/Campbell Interest and Skill Survey in the early 80’s. It showed photography as an interest. I was called shortly after and asked to work for a company doing photography. Without this skill survey I would have never said yes. I was personally trained to do the photography for a video dating company in Mill Valley. This was the moment my professional career started in photography.

Near the millennium I was in a career crisis and took several assessments. This time diving deeper into the information. I was looking for what they all had in common. For me that included; religious activities, counseling, writing, public speaking, teaching and photography. As well as the culinary arts which has been a consistent thread in my life both as a restaurateur and a home chef. I developed a wedding and coaching business around these skills and enjoy a lifestyle that feels well suited for my interest, passions and skills. I’m an INFJ.

The information is only as good as the research that goes into understanding it and yourself. Dive deep…you deserve it. Build a life that fits you! Take one or take them all. Either way spend time with the information and find success.

My Life As A Dyslexic by Ema Drouillard

Who Wants To Be Normal Anyway?

In 1988 I was a photographer for the Right One, one of the first video dating services. My job was to photograph the new members for five images on a page. From this page people would pull the members video to view. It was a fun job.

One morning as I was walking up the stairs with my gear, I took a fall on the stairs. That fall resulted in neck surgery and a very long recovery. During this recovery all the systems I had put in place to assist me in operating in my life, fell apart as well. Loving friends moved my belongings while I was in the hospital to a more suitable place to recover. My car was sold and gone. For me everything was moved and changed. I was also medicated and in a great deal of non-stop pain. My dyslexic was really in my face and without my systems in place, I was lost.

During this long recovery I did something most dyslexic people would never approach. I wrote an article about my dyslexia and submitted it to the Reader’s Digest for publication. It took a computer and many friends to review it before it was ready for submission. Once submitted to my surprise and delight they published the article in 1989. I have recently come across the pages I submitted to the Reader’s Digest and have included the article here for you, My Life As A Dyslexic. In the article I share my life experience up to that time with dyslexia.

Today dyslexia is more familiar to people but still many families are affected and there is always room for understanding, clarity and information. Recently HBO created a documentary film, The Big Picture: Rethinking Dyslexia. Well done and well worth the view. Share with anyone you know that may benefit from the information. The more the dyslexic understands about dyslexia the more fully they can live their unique experience. Which can be rich and full.

In my coaching practice I enjoy working with people that are dyslexic, highly sensitive and empaths as these are my personal experience as well. Call today! 415-409-9264.

How Entrepreneurs Experience Emotional Stress

Vital Emotions To Success 

Perhaps the most emotional career decision made is to be an entrepreneur. The ups and downs can be astounding, and the emotions involved can test the commitment and resolve of even the most stubborn of entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurial experts claim that there are four emotional stages that almost every entrepreneur passes through on their way to becoming completely comfortable with their new life and career.  Both negative and positive.

Of course it is pure exhilaration once you have taken the biggest leap of  your life.  Despite the uncertainties, you are officially on your way to making your dream a reality.  It’s the honeymoon stage. Hopefully the enthusiasm is contagious further boosting the feelings of excitement that propels you forward.

Once the excitement wears off, the next emotion can be loneliness.  Leaving old patterns behind can be compounded with feelings of isolation.  Develop new patterns and keep the focus on your vision. Develop new skills to push through negative feelings.

Next follows overwhelm.  The commitments and obligations can feel overwhelming. Your new venture will require most of your time and energy.  While an overall plan is effective this overwhelm can best attended by breaking it all down to the task at hand. Separating it into its parts and bringing your attention to one part at a time moves you along quickly.

Starting a business can truly take an emotional toll and yet the thrill of bringing your vision into fulfillment also brings deep satisfaction.  Do your homework, get support and perhaps a business coach to help you through the emotional ride.
