Making the world kinder by helping the kind to be more influential

That is the background motivation for the work I do.
I have another one: working with people I enjoy, respect and truly understand.
Many business people and entrepreneurs are “kind” and I love to interact with all of them. I have a special understanding of the gifts and challenges of those who are either introverts, intuitive, reserved, [...]

A magical dose of beauty and wonder

I don’t know about you, but I can get totally immersed in the “doing” of  life (even stressed sometimes), spending hours at the computer dealing with a deluge of information or with pesky administrative issues. (The actual coaching and training is usually magical though).
Or I feel sad or worried for loved ones’ plight or for [...]

Your work should be profitable and meaningful; you should succeed by being yourself; and doing so shouldn’t feel lonely and hard. That’s what I’m here to help you do.

Hello there. My name is Helene Desruisseaux (“Desrusso”), and I’m a bridge between business and spirit. By spirit, I mean both Your spirit, who you really are, and Spirit, your source of inspiration and strength, whatever that is for you.
My work helps you:

Make sure your work is compatible with your true nature; your life purpose, [...]

Why would knowing your purpose change the world?

Most people think that:

Knowing your purpose is something that is nice, but not essential.
Instead of navel gazing, we would be better off picking a vision and a goal and just do it!
Purpose talk often sounds like splitting hairs, especially when it talks about improving various aspects of our character (e.g. being more compassionate, or [...]

The purpose of our life according to the Dalai Lama

Some of us look long and hard for our life purpose, feeling something is missing in our work as well as our life overall.
I obviously believe in the power of finding our purpose since I do that kind of work in several ways.
In this video, you’ll hear the Dalai Lama’s belief about the purpose of [...]

A really fun video that will inspire you to be yourself

I just saw a video that pulled my heart strings because it spoke to two of my top values:

My love of animals
The fact that we need to be who we are rather than try to mold ourselves into what we “should” be, and that’s for our own happiness and because we’ll be much more successful [...]

I just want to do my work and hate this stuff about selling and money

I just had a conversation that may sound really familiar to you. This fantastic, talented, big-hearted healer was saying: “I just want to do my healing and spiritual work and hate all this stuff about selling and money!”
Don’t you resonate? I sure do; even though I’m really good at helping other people with their [...]

Top 3 ways self sabotage stops you

You don’t give yourself permission to get what you want. Even if you’re finally over the “I don’t deserve” syndrome and think this doesn’t apply to you, I invite you to look again. Is there any chance you feel a duty, a responsibility to other people or to an ideal? Might you be entertaining thoughts [...]

Success, according to Will Smith

I’ve always liked his acting and his “energy vibe” but this movie introduced me to the depth of the man, his philosophy about life and success.

Now you can’t all be like Will nor should you be. It’s all about being yourself and finding your way within the laws of the universe.

The main reason people don’t leave their jobs to start a business

I would have thought it would be either because they:

Don’t think they can afford it
Need the benefits
Don’t have an idea for a business
Don’t know what to do
Are scared to fail
Are worried about other people’s opinions (their families’, mainly)

Those are all valid reasons. I had the delightful opportunity to interview Valerie Young, an experienced “out-of-the-box” career [...]
