Meet Coach Hope.Coach Hope has a diverse background. She believes all her past experiences inform what she does today. She started her first company at the age of 18 and experienced her first acquisition in 2016.
No stranger to wellness, her journey began in her late twenties when she became a mindfulness meditation instructor through the international Shambhala organization and also became an active martial artist. She had been working as a teacher at a math, science and technology magnet school and then moved to Seattle where she went to work for the University of Washington's Technology Transfer office in Seattle. She was one of the original two creators of LaunchPad, an initiative to launch companies based on promising innovations. During the first year they launched 10 companies - it was a whirlwind! She eventually made the leap from higher ed to the business world. She became the Director of Business Development at a global software company. She understands the challenge of trying to balance a healthy lifestyle while working a high demand, full time+ job. Then came parenthood as she joined the startup world. There are so many stories to share as it has not been a straight path by any means, and the journey continues. She has navigated through venture backed performance pressure and had a wake up call from chronic stress when she landed in the emergency room after a car accident. She knows change can be hard however taking a step every day in the right direction can lead to big change. Having a history and background in mindfulness practices is part of her wellness foundation. By drawing on her strengths, interests and experience, she continues to go back to service oriented industries and environments where she can work firsthand with people to learn, grow and create positive change. She is a Certified Health & Wellness coach through Wellcoaches. Learn more about Coach Hope below or on LinkedIn. Be the change. |
