Best Story
Before the age of 30, I had over 40 jobs. Yes, you read that correctly. I accumulated that many by having my main corporate job and sometimes having multiple part-time jobs in addition to that. Whenever I tell people this they always say, "Wow Kendra, you couldn't keep a job!" Funny thing is, I've NEVER been fired. I was that high-performing minority millennial who had horrible managers, who didn't feel included, and couldn't see a career path with the companies I was with. Out of those 40 "jobs", in many of those roles, I worked alongside colleagues who saw those same positions as their careers. The serial job hopping came from a lack of clarity. I was searching for something but didn't know what. It wasn't until I got clarity that I was able to find and lean into my purpose, and it changed my life. I'm the self proclaimed recovering job-aholic.
Origin Story
I knew I wanted to be a speaker back in 2013, so I started working with coach who I paid too much money to just for her to tell me that my dream of becoming a speaker didn't make sense and she was going to turn me into a coach like her. So I did everything she told me to do: created the website and the funnels, got a booking system, running ads, etc.
Flash forward several months, and there I was on the floor of my office. Defeated. Realizing that not only did I allow another person to take me of my path, worse, I paid her to do it! I was so frustrated. So I went back to the drawing board, literally. I pulled out one of those large sticky pads and started the process i'm about to show you.
I realized that I had to get crystal clear in four areas: my long term vision for my life, where my belief system was in terms of if I believed I could achieve that vision, the potential paths that could lead me to that vision, and the habits I would need to adopt to get me there.
This framework took me from a complete career pivot, starting over in an entry level role to Vice President in five years.
