Here is the "Real" Bio...
Hi! I am Dominique. I am a high achiever who paid a high price for ignoring my blind spots. I've been fired. I've been through bankruptcy. I've been estranged from my children. Burnout led me to the ER. I've felt lost and lonely.
I coach clients who inspire me, have the ambition to make their dent in the universe, and dare to challenge themselves. Some go through life-changing experiences. They work with me to explore new paths through uncharted territories. I speak truth to power.
There was a time when I would drive in the fast lane. But eventually, after a few crashes and nudges from good friends, I took some unexpected turns and embarked on a journey of my own. A journey from the head to the heart. A voyage from reactivity to creativity. I was a know-it-all, and I became a learner. And from wanting to be right, I became a seeker. Once my worst enemy, I became my best friend. Like you, I work to grow each day as a courageous, conscious leader.
It helped immensely when someone held a mirror up to my face in a compassionate manner. My joy now is to turn the mirror on you and see you raise your game, embrace your true purpose, and honour your values.
When I am not engaged in a mindful conversation with a leader like you, the odds are that I am either hiking in the desert, meditating at dawn, writing, playing the guitar, or mentoring the youth, which I love.
Here is the "Golden Reflector" Bio...
Once a successful lawyer, Spade became a well-known DJ in the Montreal electronic music scene. His face was covered in tattoos; his eyes were as bright as the stars. We were neighbours, shared drinks, philosophized at sunset, and took long walks along the Lachine Canal.
Spade: "Dom, you are a golden reflector."
Me: "Hum… A golden what?"
Spade: "Yep. You are a golden reflector. We tell you our stories in bronze or silver. And when you tell the stories back to us, it's gold."
Me: "…"
Spade's compliment took a few years to seep in. But then, eventually, I stopped looking the other way, welcomed my sacred gifts, and embraced my superpowers.
And how about you?
What's your story?
