BE Aligned: Bloom Where You are Rooted

Written By Barbara Ellen Leicht

🌱 bloom where you are rooted 🌱 

~ aka: know your values + thrive ~

Hellos friends!! Emerging from “summer break” with many pieces of exciting news to share! I’ll start here: I’ve done my own pivot, again … This time as a business owner #WOB: 

💗 plz allow me to share what empowered me 💗

In transition to becoming a full-time small business owner + solopreneur, I knew I needed a niche. 

✨ clearly, career pivot would be mine ✨

I’m a successful career pivoter + have coached 100’s on this journey!

💗 however, I didn’t account for something 💗 

I • will not • sell my coaching to students or to people who can’t afford it. I cannot, in good conscience, do this. College grads can receive free Career Development from their Alma Maters. For anyone unable to afford my services: I refer to RochesterWorks, where I used to work. 

🌱 this practice aligns with my values, but something was missing … 🌱 

As a Former Teacher • Forever Educator 💗 I crave working with students!!! It is a passion + and a calling 

✨ drum roll ✨ 

Beyond fortunate to say I have the honor + privilege of combing my passions of …

✨ career pivots,

✨ #studentsuccess, 

✨ working with diverse students, including adult-learners, + under-resourced populations

… into a new role!!! V humbled to say I began full-time with SUNY Empire State University as their Internship Coordinator about 1 month ago! 🩵🙏🏼✨ Incredibly grateful, honored, + inspired by their v innovative and robust, holistic Student Support Services 

🌱💗 What’s that mean for YOU 💗🌱

1. Clients: while I’m not currently accepting new clients … 

2. Corporate Speaking + Training: we are still on and I am accepting inquiries 

3. Free Content: absolutely!!!

🌱 What do YOU want to know?! 🌱 

I can even share what helped me land my ☁️ dream role ☁️ in this v competitive current job market ✨ 

💗 Finally, what’s this mean for BE Career Development?! 💗

It means we get to fulfill our goal of growing slowly 🌱 and intentionally 🌱 within our niche—without high-pressure sales (that will • never • be me)—while likewise honing voice + brand + biz. Thank you for your love + support!!! 💖

✨ Cheers to being your best you! ✨
