Career Coaching
Get in the driver’s seat of your career and land your true dream job so that you can do what lights you up every day
Do you recognize yourself in any of the following situations?
You no longer enjoy what you do …
You feel as though you’ve outgrown your job
When you look at your boss’ job, you think — no thank you!
You want to make a change but it’s been ages since you’ve looked at your resume
You want to be intentional about your next career move
You want to make sure you’re making the right decision about where you put your energy
Good enough has stopped feeling good enough …
Opportunities have found you again and again but now you want to be intentional and choose your next opportunity. Your job is interesting enough and affords you financial stability. You may even get along with your colleagues. But there’s a still, small part of you that feels like something is missing. Something about your job is no longer fulfilling or offering room for personal growth.
You’re thinking about going back to school to retrain …
You want to make a change in your career so you’re considering drastic changes to allow you to retrain for a career transition. Maybe you’re thinking about taking out a heavy student loan or even refinancing your home. You may be surprised to discover that going back to school may not be necessary. Perhaps it's time to get a second opinion on how you approach a career transition.
You’ve been laid off …
I know how painful, embarrassing and demotivating this situation can be. I’ve experienced it firsthand in my first career. You are not alone. And with the right support, you will be able to find your confidence once again and take control of your career. You can rediscover your strengths and get moving towards a new job that applies your skills and experience, and fulfills you beyond your greatest expectations.
You’re having doubts about embarking on a different career path …
If you leave this job for something else, will you wind up in a job that’s really no better?
Or maybe wind up in a career situation that is even worse than what you already have?
You are wondering:
Will I always have to pretend that I care about things that don’t matter to me?
Will I ever get to bring my full joyful self to work?
Will I ever get to lean into my passions and interests? Do I even know what those are any more?
If you don’t think you can face another pointless Zoom meeting, or go through another hectic week that makes you feel as though you are on a hamster wheel, you are in the right place.
No matter how frustrated you feel right now, I can help you take steps to get clarity and find a career path that feels rewarding and meaningful to you. A path that will lead you to more fulfillment and happiness in your whole life - not just at your job.
Some food for thought:
Finding the Right Job: Jobs are not like a pair of shoes. They’re not meant to fit you forever. As you evolve as a person, your career should grow with you as well. Also, you might assume that only a few rare souls ever get to have the job of their dreams, but know that if they can do it, you can too.
Career Shifting: I love to help clients with creating a bridge between a former and new career. It’s especially rewarding to see clients go from confusion and uncertainty to shining bright with confidence in their hidden talents and innate abilities. I call this the zone of genius.
Making Money & Making a Difference: I’ve helped clients negotiate salaries up to $15K higher than what they were earning before their career shifts. With one client in particular, we were able to double her salary. In the course of my work with clients, I have seen that we can earn more AND make an impact in our careers.
Finding a Fulfilling and Rewarding Career: I believe in my clients’ innate intelligence. As a career coach, my goal is to help you get in the driver’s seat of your own career. We’ll get you from asking “What should I do?” to stating “I know my worth; My experience counts; I can confidently communicate what I offer and pinpoint exactly what I want in a career.” And yes, also: “I have my dream job and I love what I do.”
Support, from Beginning to End: From the moment we meet in our onboarding session, to the moment you finally sign your dream job offer, I am with you. I bring numerous tried-and-tested self-assessment and reflection tools to start you on your journey of self-discovery. If you were confused, you will find clarity, as well as confidence in your newfound appreciation for your unique zone of genius. Once you have identified what career you desire, I will bring my resume, cover letter and interview skills expertise to help you. I will apply the same skills that brought me twenty job offers over the course of my first career to your application process.

Lastly, I am excited to bring warmth, empathy, insight and just a little magic to the process of claiming your desires and landing your dream job. I can’t wait to celebrate your newfound career and life!
