Welcome to Professional Destiny

Hi, my name is Valerie Hausladen and I’m an author, consultant and newly-minted blogger.  Welcome to the official Professional Destiny website!

Professional Destiny has been my passion for over three years now. It is the name of my new book and it’s a concept about doing what we love and were born to do in our career. The idea for this book was born when I was traveling to India in October, 2005.

I'm the only blond

I had been a successful marketing and advertising exec for almost twenty years, but had become increasingly dissatisfied with my work and was looking for something more. Since so many people I knew were experiencing the same thing, I decided to write a book. I already had the idea bubbling up inside me and something about the magic of visiting the orphans in India, gave me that final motivation to let it out. Some may know I had a little side journey (1.5 years) along the way when I took a stint as the head of the Austin office of Enfatico and was busy hiring 200 people in the first six months. That aside, Professional Destiny was calling for completion… so here we are!

This blog will feature stories about business legends and ordinary people who have found their Professional Destiny, as well as personal observations I’ve made along the way. Thank you for participating on this site. I welcome your comments and hearing about your own experiences. Enjoy.
