ABOUT sandy
SANDY A LANE an expert in PIVOTING
An exercise I use in my workshops is called “The Real Resume”. The goal is to write your professional story in your own words, showcasing the true value you bring to the table. The Real Resume is typically a stark comparison to the traditional resume writing geared toward the end-reader. Instead of the highlight real that looks impressive on paper, the Real Resume is a true reflection of your experiences and true value proposition.
About Me (my real resume)…
A guru in transition before The Great Resignation was a thing, I now coach through successful life pivots. With a philosophy of transition success being built around the power of value, I consult on individual value first, and then I coach through the desired transition. This is the lasting formula for perfecting your pivot.
My highlighted professional offerings are my virtual/online course "Define Your Value Proposition" and keynote speaking, with my highlight presentation of "Will They Remember Your Name?"
I now reside in Durango, Colorado, after 50 years of living in the Midwest. A self-made woman, I built a successful career led through value while perfecting the transitions along the way. I have a unique perspective because I chose to leave my C-suite corporate life to ‘go new’ as a solopreneur. I did this while surviving (and thriving through) divorce and single parenting, ultimately relocating to a new part of the world. Now remarried with a new mountain work life, I consider myself a flourishing middle-aged woman at the peak of happiness.
The top questions people would have for me are: How did you get the courage to leave your cushy job? How did you figure out what new career to take on? How did you finance such significant changes in your life? How did you explain why you were leaving your career and city? How do you know when to figure it out, walk away, or run away from a bad situation? All of these areas are covered in my workshop "Perfecting Your Pivot"
Most people don’t know I love people’s stories: hearing, writing, and sharing them. I am a published author and wrote a successful blog called “Tales of the Ordinary Days” while raising my three sons. Often published in the Omaha World-Herald as a contributing writer, I am also my family historian, bringing our family stories to life in word and film. I love any physical activity showing nature’s beauty while introducing me to interesting people. My daily goal is to explore our world and community with a smile and a childlike sense of adventure.
I’m determined to show up as the best version of myself because life is precious, and we should all be enjoying every minute to our highest potential. My secret sauce is creating communities and raising people by bringing them together. I naturally accept people for who they are. My calling is to help others achieve their highest level of happiness by embracing their unique 'why' while practically and thoughtfully tackling the obstacles along the way.
Sandy’s Core Values (non-negotiables):
Family | Fun | Integrity | Kindness | Happiness | COmmunity
