Meet Ginny
As I have found to be true for many people, I’ve had a number of different roles over the course of my life, both personally and professionally. My professional path took me from an initial career in the health insurance industry, to a second career in the coaching profession and to my current focus as a writer.
Of course résumés don’t tell anyone’s whole story. While roles change throughout your life what remains constant has to do with who you are more than what you do, an important distinction that comes up often in coaching. This is connected to what is meaningful to you, the effect you have on others, and what you come to discover as your purpose in life.
I express my purpose as: moving with a joyful spirit. It’s who I am at my core, what I aspire to and how I hope to impact others.
That’s my 60-second introduction and I share more on my blog. If you read something here that impacts you, feel free to reach out. I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Professional Bio
Virginia (Ginny) Kravitz is a writer, coach, and creator of inthecurrent.com. Her trademark In the Current® is the foundation and overarching theme of the work she explores with others. At the heart of this is what Ginny calls a powerfully graceful way to move.
Throughout 20 years in the coaching profession and prior to that during her corporate career, Ginny discovered that what brings her joy is to share what she learns with others. Now retired from executive coaching, Ginny is devoted to creative endeavors connected to her writing. The driving force behind her work is to inspire and encourage.
Ginny’s writing draws from her coaching work with executives and professionals from diverse backgrounds and industries, as well as from her own life. Whether it’s a story about a coaching client or caring for her mother when she had Alzheimer’s, Ginny’s readers appreciate her knack for framing life’s deep questions in a practical way that’s relevant to what’s happening for them currently.
The signature message of In the Current is to practice the artful balance of directing and allowing, of boldly setting your direction and acting within your power while patiently trusting what is unfolding.
From this central theme, come various related topics: knowing yourself, having purpose, turning down the noise, listening and trusting your inner guidance, connecting with a deeply grounded confidence, and inviting joy.
After living in New York and Connecticut for most of their lives, then spending 12 years in Arizona getting to know and appreciate the Southwest, Ginny and her husband, Jess, returned to the East Coast and now reside in Florida full time.
