Attending to Nature
We believe you don’t need to choose between intrinsic fulfillment and extrinsic success. By combining your unique offering with our extensive knowledge of the landscape, we help you shape career opportunities aligned with your true nature and highest aspirations.
Geri Ramsay’s passion for helping individuals thrive in their chosen field of work grew over two decades dedicated to facilitating congruent and mutually rewarding relationships between organizations and individuals.
We know a thing or two about navigating career transitions; we want you to know them too. We know the horizon is broader than you think and that compromise is unnecessary. We know your individuality is your greatest asset and your fulfillment your greatest contribution. And, with our extensive knowledge of the landscape, we know how to bring who you are, and what you deeply value, to your lifework.
Geri has been dwelling in the question of nature for over thirty years, facilitating fulfilment of potential and freedom of expression within both the professional space of career development and the biodiverse habitat she calls home.
A certified executive coach and search professional, Geri led award-winning teams within a global consultancy, founded one of Vancouver’s most respected search firms, pioneered an international mentoring program, and has supported hundreds of professionals in navigating highly intentional career transitions.
In attending to nature, Geri works from the premise that we thrive where individual nature meets an environment conducive to full expression and brings her expertise to guiding the development of deeply rewarding careers congruent with intrinsic and extrinsic motivations.
She lives and works from her Salt Spring Island forest sanctuary shared with an abundance of wildlife and with her dear friend Libby, a Canadian Mare who has taught her much about freedom and what it means to thrive.
Geri Ramsay brings a blend of coaching and consultancy to each client partnership. The coach approach allows you to pause, reflect on and anchor the future you’re committed to creating. Our consultancy provides context, expertise and guidance in navigating the path to your intended result. Using your vision of success, and with a clear approach laid out, together we drive this co-created and targeted strategy, arriving where you want to be, when you want to be there.
This individually tailored six-month program provides the personal support, tools, skills and knowledge required to make a highly intentional and uncompromising transition.
Beginning with the end in mind, we facilitate a discovery process that crystallizes your personal definition of success and unique approach: who you are, what you do and what you deeply value. We combine the results of this exploration with our extensive knowledge of the marketplace to defining your career goal – specific enough to provide clear focus, open enough to provide multiple avenues of opportunity.
We then create seamless messaging through written and verbal communication, crafting resonant materials and preparing you to confidently share your story in all interactions, from networking to interviews and negotiations.
Together, we will identify organizations and opportunities aligned with your goal, targeting decision makers and driving a process that, with our proven methodology, expertise and support, will allow you to reach your goal.
