Hi Anthony,

How are things?

In short, I have made a big shift in my life-- about a year ago. I left Business Development in biotech and became a coach (business and life) -- took a wonderful 6 month program here in Israel, started volunteer coaching from day one. To date I have had about 30 people come my way, 6 clients at present and the business is not even 4 months old. My goal is to have 20 clients a year from now...

There is so much to say and do: I really love helping people and the feedback I am getting is telling me just that! I feel energized, in my prime (am 45 years young now!), totally in love with what I do and am learning every day. What I have noticed is that my long and arduous career search-- which peaked with an intense study of the Pathfinder book, career testing and one time coaching with you-- has led me into helping people in just this niche. It is so helpful to them AND SINCE I SPEAK FROM PAST PAIN AND CURRENT VITALITY APPARENTLY I HAVE THE CREDIBILITY AND ZEST TO HELP PEOPLE! I also am doing what I now view as "business development coaching", a kind of niche that I have sort of fallen into because people see me there, get value from me and I like to do it!

So, I am telling you all this for the following reasons:

1. Thank you again for being a part of my evolution!

2. I continue to have Nick Lore's Pathfinder book, and our taped conversation in close distance!

3. I have begun sending people to your site, even those who don't coach with me-- I think it is an EXCELLENT site worthy of being seen as a "center of excellence" for career searchers.

I just wanted to say hello, thanks and to let you know that you will be read, seen and perhaps contacted by not so few Israelis from now on! All the best!

I love what YOU are doing too!
