“If I can career coach people to find the right career that's resonant with who they are, with their values and who they were meant to be in this world, then I am contributing to making the world a better place. So I must do this. It was as if I had no choice....as if my calling was I was chosen to do this. ” - Rosabelle Lokaisingh
Some takeaways:
- Notice the through line of roles in your life. As Rosa reflected on various roles she played in her life, she saw her values playing out consistently. Her values of fairness, of justice, of a desire to serve and excel and to take responsibility have always led her decisions and her actions. What she has learned about herself over the years is that if she’s going to choose to do something, she’s going to do it right.
- Use “other people’s money,” if possible, to develop the skills necessary to start your own business. When Rosa found herself in an office role that made her feel claustrophobic, she knew she had to have her own business one day but wasn't sure how she was going to do that and what business it was going to be. She decided to take a position in retail, and over eight years learned all that she could about customer service, operations, and employee management. Her passion for helping others live through their own talents led her to personnel placement and, eventually, to coaching.
-Remain adaptable to change. Rosa shared all her career twists and turns, from banking, to retail, to personnel placement, to teaching networking skills to skilled immigrants, to business innovation connector, to founding her own business as a breakthrough coach. Rosa shared that she loves a challenge and as a result has always been very adaptable. By the same token, when her employer lost funding and asked to move her back to a previous position, she said no. She couldn’t go back; it was and is important to her to always move forward.
