𝗜’𝗺 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲! This week, I quietly celebrated the 3rd anniversary of my company, CarpeLux Coaching, LLC.
In the context and fallout of last week’s election, it felt strange—even a bit inappropriate—to celebrate anything at all. But taking a moment to recognize and reflect on this journey still feels important...or perhaps is 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵.
Here's my brief reflection...
𝗔 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗜’𝗺 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗼𝗳:
🙌🏽 𝑪𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒚– Even as a solopreneur, I'm blessed to be surrounded by talented, driven colleagues who are all aligned in their commitment to impact and purpose in the DEIB space. I've developed connections with mentors and colleagues who lift each other up and want each other to succeed.
🙌🏽 𝑪𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑾𝒊𝒏𝒔 – It's been an honor to witness clients transform and realize their full potential, knowing that I played a part in guiding them there. This is at the core of why I'm doing this work and I whole-heartedly love it.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴:
🚧 𝑩𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒃𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒂 𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒋𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒚. Navigating self-doubt, being a team of one as life happens, finding the niche and messaging that feels right for me—every small step, forward, back or sideways, is part of the process.
🚧𝑩𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒆𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝒈𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒃𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕. I've learned that it takes constant intention to avoid burnout while staying committed to the purpose.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜’𝗺 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿:
𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒎𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒑𝒖𝒓𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒆-𝒅𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝑩𝑰𝑷𝑶𝑪 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒇𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒔 are in the works, and I can’t wait to bring them to you. The work behind the scenes is ongoing. Stay tuned for more in the coming weeks and months.
Thank you for being part of this journey—here’s to many more years of growth and impact! 🌟

No surprise with leaders like Matthew Consigli Anthony Consigli, Scott Lerner, Jeff Navin, Jody Staruk, Amy Bowen, Michael Haseltine, Erick Lacy, and Makenna Sargis at the helm. My son Matthew Thompson interned with Consigli Construction Co., Inc. and cannot say enough good things about his experience. We are so fortunate to have an organization like Consigli in our back yard and now up and down the whole East Coast.. CONGRATULATIONS.
