Why Behind Career Alchemist
®
In the new paradigm we all saw that big shifts have happened, old ways of doing things don’t work anymore and now we have to disrupt the way we have been building careers and businesses. We need to alchemize the way we work through meaningful, fulfilling work that will support all aspects of our lives in a holistic way and allow us to accommodate all the roles we have.
Career Alchemist® is your guide to finding new ways of connecting passion with profession and providing solutions to innovative ways how you can turn your inner magic into purpose driven work.
​
I was always bothered by the fact that we spend majority of our wake time in our jobs while 70%* of the US employees are actively disengaged in their work (*according to Gallup's data year after year). Knowing there is a better way we can lead our careers while creating a larger impact, my mission is to help others pave their unique path towards their success.
​
My big why is my daughter for whom I want to lead with an example that creating your authentic path is a recipe for lasting success, internal as much as external. I believe that paving the path for young generations to courageously take ownership of their careers is the way to shape the scene for leaders of the future. We can teach by talking, but we can show it really works by walking the walk of our own authentic path.
Career Alchemist was born out of my mission, but...
