Now What?® Success Story!
Lisa Anselmo had attained her dream job in publishing. But after two years of layoffs and reorganization at her company, which left her career a fragment of its former self, she found herself at a crossroads. She loved her job, but suddenly it wasn’t enough.
Already on a journey of self-exploration after the death of her mother from breast cancer that left her asking, “now what?” she began coaching with Laura Berman Fortgang to work past her fear of change and understand what her next chapter might be.
That coaching led to her new book, My (Part-Time) Paris Life, due out October 11, 2016, and a web series of the same name. Her series: part travelogue and part inspiration, features Parisians and expats who, like Lisa, have taken a risk to follow their dreams—and have found success and happiness. Enjoy the debut episode here:
