“Your
e-zines are the "whack upside the
head" I need to get moving or evaluate
how much progress I'm making toward my
goals! Thank you for sharing them with
me.”
Meet Ginny Kravitz
Virginia
(Ginny) Kravitz has always been fascinated
by how people make meaningful change
and create lives that delight them. At
age eleven she clipped an article entitled,
“You Can Change Your Life,”
and that was just the beginning of a
lasting intention to live a powerful
and passionate life. Years later and
at a career crossroads, she would find
herself calling in to a QVC cable TV
show, determined to speak “live”
with Tony Robbins and ask him for a job.
Although she didn’t get through
the phone line that night, in that moment
of bold clarity she knew she was serious
about making a significant change.
Raised in Mt. Vernon, New York, Ginny attended Fordham University, where she majored in Communications. Due to her interest in personal development, she minored in Psychology and also ventured into Theology.
After college, Ginny’s 15 year corporate career with a leading health care benefits company included a role as director in a national accounts sales and marketing organization and then as the creator and manager of a corporate presentation facility and customer center. During a career that included many challenges and successes, Ginny was always cognizant of a desire to inspire and help others express their unique talents. This knowing that she would not settle for less in her own life caused her to walk around feeling like the cat that swallowed the canary — excited about an anticipated (yet unidentified) future role.
As a manager and leader, Ginny’s trademark was her boundless energy and enthusiasm and her ability to make work fun. A favorite memory of a former colleague is when Ginny picked her up early in the morning, on their way to what could have been a difficult business meeting. With the U2 version of Mission Impossible blaring in the car, they became caught up in the explosive energy of the music and brought that power with them into the meeting. The resulting mental attitude adjustment had transformed their experience once again.
While
researching various potential avenues
to fully apply her talents, Ginny discovered
the growing field of coaching. The match
was right and in 2002 she founded her
coaching business, now called In the
Current™ . A graduate of Coach
U, the leading global provider of coach
training programs, Ginny is also a member
of the International Coach Federation
(ICF) and participates in A Hand UP Coaching,
an international nonprofit organization.
From her earliest days as a young child
who was prone to wake up from naps by
barreling down the stairs, slamming the
kitchen door open, and demanding to know
why her family let her sleep so long,
Ginny has always had a fierce desire
to be in the full current of life. In
her role as life coach, she sees herself
as a river guide, helping people move
with both patience and boldness as they
navigate the decisions of their own lives
and embrace a new and joyful momentum.
Working with accomplished professionals and people from various other backgrounds, Ginny’s specialty is helping others transform their restlessness into a discovery of their true purpose and passion. Her unique approach incorporates three elements and also draws on what she has found to be the best material from other experts. Having come to improve her own relationship with time over the years, she also teaches others to own their time (not just manage it) and to use the feeling of overwhelm as a signal to make more effective choices. Ginny is a recognized Life Blueprint® coach and authorized facilitator of the Now What® career and life direction program, as well as an authorized trainer of the OASIS in the Overwhelm strategies. Her Ezine, published every other Tuesday, is entitled Current of Life.
After living in New York and Connecticut for most of her life, Ginny and her husband relocated to Scottsdale, Arizona in the latter part of 2006. Ginny interacts with clients located primarily across the U.S., as well as internationally.
