In 1988 I left the comfortable cushion of corporate employment and launched JWH Training & Consulting Inc. because it was not possible not to. My passion, vision & plan were clear. I hit the ground running and did not stop until I derailed in 2003. In between, following huge success in the consulting field, I bought a building in 2000 and launched my second business, The Leadership Alignment Spa LLC. We attracted quite a lot of attention, served many executives and community organizations but I ran out of money and steam as a single mom of a 10 year old boy. I sold the building in 2003 and came home to retreat, refuel and renew. I thought it might take 6-12 months and I’d be back on track.
My Resume Speaks for Itself™ CD series pieces together the lessons learned, the simple wisdom received and the blessings of creative writing that guided me through a long and challenging process over 9 years.
In 2006 I found myself well into my 3rd year of what became a 9 year transformational journey from active duty in corporate America into a new landing spot working full time at home as a writer and author of Janet Planet World. Now, in 2012, I find myself sharing a story of life & career change, transition & transformation that spans over 30 years. Writing & sharing your story is a powerful step in making friends with your history, shining light on your gifts & talents and leveraging it as a launch pad to move forward into an evolving her-story. I call this series My Resume Speaks for Itself™ recorded in 2006 in the kitchen of my girlfriend Susan’s home, another former executive off duty from corporate America serving from behind the scenes. I wrote & recorded this series to affirm and prompt my footsteps forward toward my ideal personal vision. It’s working. I hope that this series of life career transition & transformational stories prompts you to write your own story in whatever format your heart desires.
