Author Information

Life is an experience to enjoy fully, every single day. I'm Dominique, and this statement has been my guiding light for as long as I can remember.Born in Switzerland and raised traveling the world, I knew very early on that I would create a life for myself that extended beyond the borders of my own small country. In fact, I took steps at the ripe old age of 11 to secure my place at Lausanne's world-renowned Hotel School when I turned 18! As a result, I was able to launch and build an intensely satisfying corporate career that allowed me to work abroad and travel the world while simultaneously gaining vast experience, leading remote teams, and making critical business decisions to solidify my position as a C-suite executive.After 30 years in upper management of Human Resources, including countless awards, certifications, and advanced training programs, I came to the difficult realization that my career was no longer driving me, but draining me. I thought back to my guiding light statement from childhood and decided that my once-exciting career was now preventing me from enjoying the life I'd dreamt of and worked so hard to build. At 53, I bravely embarked on my own journey to entrepreneurship with the creation of my consulting firm, PointNorth International. Today, along with my team, I successfully help professionals and executives reinvent their careers to be in total alignment with their unique experiences, values, skills, and purpose. The impact and influence I create are unparalleled. The reward, purpose, and satisfaction I now feel are unlike anything I've ever experienced before.With the unfailing support of my husband, along with my family in Switzerland and Tunisia where we split our time, I am proud to say that I have not only created the life I truly desire; it goes far beyond the limits I ever believed possible. Helping others to do the same is my life's calling. I'm Ellen, and it took me 50 years to CREATE the job - and life - that I love. For the majority of my corporate career, I felt frustrated, burned out and, quite frankly, stuck. I was a Senior Management Consultant in Finance - very good at my job with a proven track record for success and a degree in Economics - but the intense responsibilities, extensive travel, overbooked agendas and stress were endless. I knew there had to be more to life than this.In 2003, I decided to change things, determined to craft a life that was in alignment with who I was and what I wanted. By implementing small, simple - yet long-lasting - habit changes, I lost 20 kilos, fully embraced the vibrant Swiss lifestyle that I hadn't even realized I was craving, and embarked on my next chapter as my best, most authentic self. I have since dedicated the past 20+ years to helping clients and corporations around the globe to do the same.Born and raised in the American northeast, it wasn't until settling in Switzerland that I discovered the healthy, grounded lifestyle I live, breathe and share today. With a master's degree in Health and Wellness Coaching, as well as accreditations in Coaching, Workplace Wellness, Mindful Eating and Health, I have built my second career - and my lifestyle - around a non-diet, mindfulness-based approach to eating, physical activity, holistic health, and self-care. Through personalized individual, group and corporate coaching, as well as workshops and regular publishing for Thrive Global, the International Coaching Federation, National Wellness Institute, HR.com and my personal blog, I support people from any and all walks of life as they transition from knowing what to do to actually doing it.Passionate about great food and wine from all over the world, home aesthetics and walking everywhere, I currently split my time between our homes in Geneva and the Swiss Alps with my husband of over 35 years, and our three awesome adult children.
