Magalie René

I wanted to launch my own business for the longest time but the lack of key steps and a plan held me back for years. I was also completely stretched at my job and my time was extremely limited. Magalie’s approach of asking the right questions and creating a blueprint customized and adapted for my needs, supported me in setting clear priorities for the best way to transition. She also helped me expand my limited perspective to thinking outside the box, which brought me more client opportunities. Understanding my situation and what I wanted to accomplish, Magalie’s questions and wisdom helped me take action towards my goals. I never felt this confident going out on my own until I had Magalie’s process in place.

My Tangible results included:
- Getting my boss, who has a strong personality, on board not only to support my transition, but to collaborate with me.
- Lining up 20 clients for the year so that I had a financial cushion to support me through the transition.
- Landing international clients.

I got SO much clarity in ways I didn't expect! I always struggled with defining myself in terms of what I do - and in a simple and special way Magalie supported me in getting clear on EXACTLY how to share myself in a way that feels authentic and powerful.

Setting aside time to do this focused work with someone outside myself was invaluable. With the clarity I gained I'm intentional and spending time doing the right things - the things that will most powerful for my business. I asked to be kicked in the butt and I was! The accountability was huge.

I accomplished all the goals I committed to at the start of our coaching. I put on a workshop. I got clarity on who I work with and who I WANT to work with.

Before this work I would have wanted to do it all and do it NOW so I would've rushed and had to do things over and over. Now I have a new relationship with priorities, and accomplishments. Success for me is now about showing up - being present and passionate and intentional - to focus on my actions and ways of being rather than simply to get that accomplishment fix. I'm now actually accomplishing more than I ever imagined I would and with ease.

I used to believe that leveling up had to come with a certain amount of pain and that’s BS. I now understand it can happen with ease and fun. When I can tap into joy I create a space of creativity and for accomplishing big goals.

My nickname for Magalie is Oprah 2.0.  She is powerful, charismatic, dynamic and also spiritual, loving and passionate. I've worked with her both as a fellow coach and have hired her as my own coach.  I know a lot of powerful people who do coaching work and she is at the top of my list of recommendations for anyone looking for deeper self-awareness, truth and purpose in their life.  Her approach is not about telling you what you need to know, but about supporting you in finding your own truth and your own answers.  This was incredibly empowering for me because I came to recognize that I already had everything I needed inside of me. She coaches with warmth and acceptance but is not afraid to be direct, honest and hold you accountable.  She is also hilarious and creative and dazzling--for bonus points!

Before the program I was clear on my purpose but I was unsure about how to grow it. I had lots of ideas on products and services but didn’t really know where to start. Magalie’s coaching helped me create the framework and foundation for building my brand (including deciding on my first product idea). I got clarity and had epiphanies about my company’s direction and now I can articulate that in a concise way that speaks directly to my target audience.

I no longer feel anxious about the future of the business. I created a plan that is not overwhelming and is fully aligned with my philosophy, my truth, and my brand. I realize how excited I am about developing products and hosting events. I also got real about my desire to impact people in a more intimate setting versus what I initially thought you wanted when I was equating the number of people with the most impact.

I know everything is aligning in divine perfect timing. I'm working with ease rather than struggle. I've learned how to slow down in order to progress. I don't have to work hard and grind myself down. I can move forward with the flow and honor myself as I build. That's how I can do my best work.

After the Career-View Mirror Lightning Leap 7-week program I was confident in my business idea and had the clarity on how to transition into it. I got the support and motivation I needed to finally move forward with my dream of being a Trauma-Informed Yoga Instructor and Speaker. Magalie asked clear questions that helped me cut through the noise in my head and get to the heart of my goals.

Each session brought a profound realization that changed the way I think about myself and my abilities. Some of my accomplishments included:

- Beating months of procrastination to complete my yoga certification
- Pushing past fear to build relationships with public figures and community leaders in the health and wellness space.
- Breaking through major blocks I didn't even realize were keeping me from accomplishing my goals - including my negative self-talk.
- Learning to promote myself and the value of what I offer as an educator, a speaker, and an activist.

At the start of Magalie's coaching program - I felt overwhelmed with thoughts/ideas of what I wanted to be doing with my career and was juggling too much (most of which was cluttering what I actually wanted to do with my life). Magalie cut straight through the bullshit, she helped me get clear and focused early on so that I could spend the next 6 weeks making noticeable strides and achieving things I never thought possible.

During Magalie's program I was promoted at work by being put on projects I always wanted to work on but thought I was too junior for. In addition; a side hobby that I was working on in the events world became an actual business with a paying client. Something I thought would take months, maybe years, I accomplished in a matter of weeks. Magalie was insightful and deeply connected to what mattered to me most and pushed me to go bigger, achieve more, and make the most use out of every minute of my day. Her coaching program catapulted me in ways I never thought possible and because of it, I am clear on where I'm going, what I am doing, and how exactly I am making it happen.
