The Positive Black Swan

A Positive Black Swan is what Nassim Nicholas Taleb refers to as a rare and unpredictable event that has a big, positive impact.

Sometimes, life surprises us in the best possible way. It can feel like an unseen force is steering things in our favour, bringing unexpected but amazing opportunities our way. I chose the Positive Black Swan as the symbol of my work because it represents the unexpected ways life can come together. When we have prepared thoughtfully and diligently, “lucky” occurrences arrive more frequently.

For decades, I’ve been focused on personal growth — not just because it’s useful, but because I love it. I never imagined that all the different experiences I was collecting would one day come together to support something bigger: a coaching practice that truly feels like my calling in life.
