In 2017, I “failed.”
I got let go from my dream job working as a Fundraiser at Pasadena City College where I raised $1.1 million in student scholarships.

I was lying on my bedroom floor crying like a starfish.
Unfortunately, I didn’t look as cute like Patrick from Spongebob…
Despite getting let go from my dream job, it motivated me to take my part-time coaching business to full-time.

To date, I’ve now worked with 2,000+ clients in 58 different countries :)
I’m sure you can think of all your past failures and how it’s worked towards your favor when looking at it 20/20.
My other “career failures” include:

  • Getting Fired
  • Quitting a Job
  • And Changing Careers

Despite these failures, it’s helped me coach my clients when they go through a tough time.
In my 87th WOC & Allies: Business & Career Realtalk Podcast Episode I’m in the hot seat this time reflecting on all my failures, and interviewed by Lisa Gillette.
What We Cover in This Episode:

  • My failures
  • How difficult conversations create beautiful transformations
  • How I needed a village of help - a therapist and coach

If you would like to see how to work with me to create a more sustainable life where you can be more present with yourself and create your own checklist of success that’s not created by society and loved ones, then schedule a complimentary legacy business and career review at elainelou.com/call
