Who Utilizes Career Coaching?
If you are serious about moving through the career transition process in a focused and expedient manner, then you will benefit from the expertise of a career coach. The coaching partnership is a synergistic relationship where together we can accomplish far more and in less time than you could on you own.

You will benefit from career coaching if you are:

  • Feeling stuck with little or no options
  • Living someone else's career dream
  • Unsure what career is best for you
  • Decided on a career goal, but are unsure how to pursue it
  • A stay-at-home mom who wants to return to work
  • Retiring and want to transition into a new career
  • Downsized and want to refocus and transition into a career that is right for you

  • Explore your gifts - your talents, passions, and inspirations
  • Define your vision, mission, and purpose for your life and career
  • Examine your life priorities and integrate them into your career choice
  • Discover the career options that will bring you joy and fulfillment
