CLASS Consulting is the birth of a dream. Being a mother who has given birth twice, I must wonder then why I haven't publicized the birth of this dream as loudly and with as much fanfare as I gave to the birth of my two sons. I mean, I was only pregnant with each of them for about 9.5 months, whereas I've been pregnant with this dream, or shall I say these dreams (wouldn't you know I gave birth to multiples!) for much longer.
I suppose the route that this birth took was a bit circuitous, long and the tiniest bit painful. And it makes sense that I would choose not to share those parts with people...and then if you don't share the pregnancy it gets really difficult to share the birth, right? I mean there was a reason that I did a pregnancy announcement in my eighth month with my 2nd son.
But all of this is, for you dear reader, beside the point. The POINT of this post is to acknowledge the BIRTH of a DREAM, in CLASS Consulting and all of its ventures; and so, a bit of the birth story:
After more than 20 years in the Learning and Development Industry, having worked in every conceivable environment in that space, I was more than a little tired of the entire system. When I first began my ultimate goal had been to one day have my own coaching and consulting firm and to use my career to learn what I needed to learn to be effective in that space. {Please note that while that sounds like a stable idea, it is in fact procrastination and avoidance at its finest. If you want to do, be, or have a thing get busy doing, being, or having it }. In any event, after spending 20+ years learning and gaining experience, a sour but educational interaction with my last employer gave me the boost I needed to step out and invest in myself...thus CLASS Consulting was born.
Here at CLASS I get to do what I have wanted to do for more than 20 years. Create custom learning solutions for people who sincerely want to learn and grow. Learning is so much more than what the traditional system has convinced us it looks like, and I'm excited to get busy showing that to the world!
