There is success in effort.

We're only here for a short time so make it a good time.
My desire to become a Life Transition Coach and Motivator, arose out of my own personal and professional experiences. I discovered that while life wasn't life without change, often times, it was difficult to adjust and my confidence, motivation and self-esteem were negatively impacted.
​
Much of my life has been about transitions and while I managed to pivot, adjust and adapt along the way, having the support of a Coach would have helped to maintain confidence and have a seamless transition. The running theme of many a conversation I've had was that it feels like we're rushing through Life and while we're 'surviving', we're not truly adapting and there's a sense of loss of identity, motivation and confidence along the way. I felt like I had a foundation to make a difference and help others to 'figure things out', act as a soundboard, while creating a psychologically safe environment to do so.
The catalyst was in 2020 when, like many others, my job was affected by the Pandemic. I had an epiphany that was the time to step out of my comfort zone and unleash my true powerhouse capabilities. I asked myself, “Why not? What am I waiting for?” If you feel the need to career or personal transition, ask yourself the same questions - after all, to wait might mean 'never'.

My Professional Journey
​
With over two decades of experience in Human Resources and Talent Acquisition, I built my career in the world of people management, beginning in 2000, with a leading global staffing firm. Initially gaining expertise in Administration and Staffing, my passion for human resources grew, and I transitioned into more specialized roles within Talent Acquisition. In my spare time I enjoy, among other things, creating YouTube content such as the ‘Entrepreneurs’ series and ‘Transition Mastery: Drop the Toxic!’ course on on ‘Coach Tennille’ channel.
As an experienced professional, it was later on in my career that I decided to formalize my years of experience with higher education and pursue studies in HR Management at Seneca College. Prior to this and at the beginning of my career, I attended Seneca and pursued an entirely different field (many people can relate!) but later fell in love with Human Resources because of the fulfillment I received engaging with a diverse array of individuals and helping them make a difference in their lives. Additionally, I obtained a Certificate for ‘Leadership in a Turbulent World’ from Ontario Tech University and obtained my Life Skills Coaching Certificate from George Brown College with a plan to help drive an individual's personal and professional growth and self-empowerment.
Let my combination of education, experience and passion be a catalyst for your next great step forward, whether it be career or otherwise. Coaching is my calling to help others achieve great success and I’m excited to start this journey with you.
