Curating Career Life Stories: How Did I Get Here? Ep. 125 with Margot Zaher

Join me for the career reflections of Margot Zaher, life empowerment coach & author. A journey that starts with fulfilling her dream to live and work in Paris at a fortune 100 company. The ideal job, right? So why is she so unhappy, constantly doubting herself and feeling a lack of purpose? At the urging of her mom, a recently certified hypnotherapist, she embarks on a personal development journey which includes two weeks of hypnotherapy. It works wonders on her self-esteem, right away she feels different and within three months she’s promoted. But the bigger discovery, is that it ignited a new energy within her to want to help others with their personal development like she was helped. She gets certified in hypnotherapy, leading her down a new path where she meets a life coach. Totally inspired by this role, she now knows this is what she wants to be. She gets certified as a life coach, begins coaching and continues to add other certifications & techniques to her toolkit over the years. What’s served Margot best: “My willingness to confront fear, become friends with fear, accepting that fear is a part of life instead of thinking something’s wrong because I’m scared. I think of it as an ally or friend, it’s just a sensation.” Her words of wisdom: “a bit cliché she says, but she quotes Nike’s “Just Do It!” Whenever I doubt myself, I think “Just Do It!” – there aren’t really any wrong steps.”
