In March, shared with you the story of Lucy Armentrout, a client who made a successful transition back into work she had previously done. In Lucy’s case, she’s returned to being a Realtor, after working as a realtor, city planner, a consultant on Bay Area multi-unit residential development projects, a property manager, an investor, and a  project manager.

You know that question: “If I change jobs, and I hate the new one, can I go back to an old one?

Well, Lucy has answered that question in a very positive way.

I’ve been coaching Lucy through something very common and normal:  Fear!

Often, people think that I help people to change careers. And yes, that is one thing that I do.

But I also help people to ride the wave of emotions it takes to be successful in their careers. , whether that’s on-ramping them into a new career, or helping them to find greater joy and satisfaction in a current career. Over and over again, I find that people experience blocks and fears to change. While it’s normal and natural, and actually part of our human condition to feel fear, it can be paralyzing, too.

Lucy’s had her share of fears. I won’t recount them all here. But as a Realtor in the current economic climate, you might guess that one of her fears was “I’ll never sell any houses. I’ll never get a listing.”

Well, I’m thrilled to announce that through our coaching relationship, Lucy has developed a stellar marketing plan, is starting to build ties to the Rockridge neighborhood in Oakland, California. And, Lucy secured her first listing!

It’s a duplex offered at $575,000.

If you happen to be looking for a home in the Rockridge area, do check in with Lucy, and if it’s still available when you read this, go take a peek at 1738 Derby St. in Oakland.

Congratulations, Lucy!
