From Corporate Burnout to Global Career Coach: My Journey to Empower Ambitious Professionals

From Corporate Burnout to Global Career Coach: My Journey to Empower Ambitious Professionals

Feeling Stuck and Unfulfilled

In 2012, I felt like I was drowning. Every day in my role as a Human Resources Manager chipped away at my joy and sense of purpose. The monotony of corporate life, combined with the constant battle against imposter syndrome, left me questioning my abilities and self-worth. I felt unrecognized, powerless, and deeply unfulfilled.

I knew I couldn’t continue living like this, but I didn’t yet know how to create a life I truly loved. Moreover, moving from corporate burnout to global career coach.

The Turning Point

Everything changed the day I made a bold decision to resign.

It was one of the scariest and most liberating choices I had ever made. However, stepping away from the stability of corporate life didn’t immediately solve my struggles. Relocating to the United States as an immigrant brought a whole new set of challenges.

Finding meaningful work in a competitive job market felt like an uphill battle. I was stuck in the “rat race,” endlessly applying for jobs, attending career fairs, and growing more discouraged with each rejection.

Still, I knew I had to keep pushing forward.

Discovering My Passion

During this challenging time, I began to reflect on what truly brought me joy. I realized I had a gift for empowering others. Whether I was coaching friends, family, or former colleagues, I found immense satisfaction.  It was fulfilling to help people overcome obstacles, rediscover their strengths, and build confidence.

These moments of coaching weren’t just rewarding, they were transformational. Witnessing others’ breakthroughs and seeing them thrive lit a fire within me.

In July 2018, I took the leap and launched my career coaching business, determined to guide others through their own career journeys with resilience and purpose.

When you’re about to give up on your dreams,
You do not hear the words of encouragement,

I say to you: Don’t give up.

These aren’t just words. They’re a promise of potential, a beacon of hope.
