Sissel Imsland Bridges, My Journey of Self-Discovery

•  My name is Sissel (Cecile) Imsland Bridges, I grew up in Norway, and from an early age, I knew I had a gift for problem-solving for people. This was both for myself and my friends. My family moved a lot as I was growing up, and I needed to problem-solve for myself to adjust and thrive in the new cities and schools I attended.  
• As a teenager, I had a summer job at a regional Psychiatric Hospital and knew psychology was my field. My psychology education was at Bergen University and Stavanger University. I did not end up as a therapist but started my own business based on my education and skill set. 
• My firm, SI-Alfa Marketing, was a Life/Business coaching firm for the Publishing Oil Industry in Norway, working with sales and marketing and facilitating workshops for employees. In addition, I successfully facilitated groups for women in Self-development, personal growth, and women working in a men-dominated work environment. I loved my work and all the exciting challenges and people I met.  
• In 1996 I moved to the USA. I had to start all over by finding meaningful work and a social network and adjusting to a different culture as a private and professional person. I had my Life Coaching skills and tools. I knew what to do.   My Life coaching tools and skills did work, and I have for over 20 years in the USA had a wonderful and happy life, my own company, always continuing education,  doing what I love, a good social network, fantastic friends, my two dogs, and an old cat.
• Growing up in Norway, a country which has been nominated for decades to be one of the Healthiest and Happiest Countries to live in, with my personal and professional experience, I feel confident I can help you wherever you are on your Life's journey and wherever you are located.
