Pam’s Biography

+I love what I do, take my work seriously and have prepared well for it and have applied my credentials in a wide range of settings, including helping professionals make career changes, empty nesters seeking new life purpose, parents negotiating meaningful relationships with grown children, women starting and growing their first business, women and men planning for and moving into retirement, couples navigating life changes, and executives who want to build strong teams and organizations.

+I received my coach training through the Institute of Professional Excellence in Coaching, am a Certified Professional Retirement Coach, and accredited coach with the International Coach Federation (ICF). I also have a Business Degree from Seattle University, a Masters’ in Leadership and Management from Antioch University and many certifications in the field of leading change, emotional intelligence, positive psychology, leadership, conflict, negotiation, communication, facilitation, and more.

+The many personal and professional development experiences span thirty plus years. They supported me to shift perspectives, beliefs, attitudes and habits across all aspects of my life. These changes helped me to create a life well beyond what I imagined was possible. They also were aligned with the heart of who I am and what I care most about. This is reflected in rewarding long-term relationships, career, finance, and health/self-care. With all this growth, what became most fascinating to me was learning about and understanding what I and others need to be able to make positive change (transition) with joy and peace rather than force and struggle. Family and friends have seen these positive changes in me over time and asked for my perspective and assistance to help them do the same. This inspired me to share my knowledge and experience to help others through the field of coaching.

+Pam resides in Sun Valley Idaho, her “happy place” of many years with her spouse of thirty plus years. She is a proud dual citizen (US and Canada). She gains daily inspiration through meditation, cooking healthy food and listening and dancing to country music (old and new).

Certified Professional Life/Career/Retirement Coach, Spiritual Teacher and Astrologer who thrives on helping others realize and manifest their goals and dreams. After leaving a successful 28 year career as a software engineer, I have found my passion for spiritual coaching, teaching and astrology. I work with people who are ready to uncover what they want most in their lives and do what it takes to achieve their goals. ​

I was inspired to offer Retirement and Financial Coaching via Becker Encore Coaching after being faced with my own personal decisions and realizing how difficult it can be to make this transition and the many things to consider.
I have experienced the many ups and downs often encountered in a robust career that give me an informed perspective about life's transitions.

My 30+ years with Fortune 50 companies in various roles including Director of Software Implementation Services, Six Sigma Process Improvement, and Product Management allow me to relate to others making this career transition.

As a professionally trained and certified retirement and financial coach, I have the tools and understanding to help you manage through the variety of transitions you may encounter in mid-life and later. I understand the importance of compassion, trust and listening in meeting your individual needs and crafting solutions to meet them.

Since one size does not fit all, I work with each individual to identify the best approach for them. I offer one-on-one coaching for focused and confidential sessions as well as group sessions to incorporate the perspectives of others going through similar transitions.

If you find yourself considering what your post-career transition may look like, or if you’re struggling to manage your financials in a manner that will prepare you for retirement, don’t go it alone. Invest in yourself and your future to make your post-career transition the best it can be.

Susan Latremoille spent over 35 years as a wealth advisor assisting clients to financially plan for their retirements. She saw a common thread among her clients. Having enough money to retire was only a piece of the retirement puzzle. It was the non-financial side that had the greatest impact on the predictability of a successful retirement. This led Susan to start her own company - SuccessDNA – helping baby boomers to rewire not retire. www.successdna.ca. Susan helps clients know themselves deeply using a powerful assessment called SuccessFinder.

I started my career before the world wide web existed, when fax machines were all the rage, writing long hand or creating documents on an electric typewriter (and a lot of white out) made sense and when people actually talked to each other. To some I might be considered a relic – to others a master. I’ve worked with the brightest and the best business leaders for more than 30 years as a strategist, trainer, coach and advisor. I’ve studied for thousands of hours – everything from neuroscience and all things brainy, leadership, communication and negotiations to team building. I’ve re-engineered sales divisions across the country to create sustainable competitive advantages that significantly grow the bottom line. I’ve jumped off professional cliffs and made a parachute on the way down.

The last five years I have very deliberately studied the correlation between professional sports, building championship teams, the science of analytics, high performing coaches and world class performers in life and in business. If you’re looking for a “life” coach I wouldn’t use those words to describe me. I don’t particularly agree with the concept of SMART goals as an overall guiding principle. I’m pretty sure we wouldn’t have sent a man to the moon with this limiting process that often smothers creativity. And while perhaps a solid tool for planning, the process often lands you not-so-safely in the muck of mediocrity.

What I do believe in, is the remarkable capacity we all have to be great. How choosing courage over comfort, grabbing onto to some grit, ditching distractions and moving from auto pilot to intention can and will create sustainable, beyond your imagination, change. Your decisions will always shape your destiny. It can be scary though as there’s no one to blame when you take your life and your business into your own hands.

Working with me isn’t easy. There will be times when you’d rather be rid of me. But if you want to take command, experience insane productivity, write your own story and master the day we should probably chat. Don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better.

I am dedicated to guiding individuals through the transformative journey of retirement. I offer a personalized approach that empowers people to navigate the complexities of the non financial side of retirement. Backed by a deep understanding of the both the financial and emotional aspects of retirement, I help people envision and achieve fulfilling post-career lives. Fun Fact - Did you know that an average full time job takes 1950 hours per year. Ask yourself ... How will I fill those hours ? Contact Michele to start the conversation.

I have worked variously as a human resources manager, Corporate Communication Manager, Brand, Image and Identity Manager.

I currently work in the Public Service where I observed the total neglect of workers by the government (also in the private sector) as they approach retirement. They are not prepared adequately to adapt and manage their next stage of life. My passion in this regards is to fill this alarming gap and do my bit to address this issue.

Member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), member of the Society of Industrial Organisational Psychologists of South Africa (SIOPSA), and independent practicing industrial psychologist with Health Professionals Council South Africa (HPCSA).
