Career Coaching | Job Transition Coaching

You deserve a meaningful and satisfying career!

Career Transition

  • Are you dissatisfied with your current job and need help figuring out “what’s next”?
  • Would you benefit from some guidance in identifying a new career vision more in tune with your passions and interests?
  • Are you ready to go back to work after taking time off to raise children?
  • Have you recently been laid off and need help reassessing your career goals and finding a new job?
  • Do you need specific assistance with job search skills such as interviewing or networking?
  • Would you like to define your personal brand and learn to communicate your unique value in your resume, LinkedIn, and other social media?

We can collaborate to turn your dreams into realistic action plans!

As your career coach I will help you navigate your career path by helping you take stock of the whole picture, not just your specific “job”, but how that particular career fits into and enhances your life. How does it fit with your strengths, values, personal situation, preferred work style, and future life plans? What career strategy will best meet your unique needs and help you find meaning and fulfillment?

Once we hone in on your particular career target, I will help you put together a focused plan of action. In today’s changing world of work, up to date knowledge about resumes, networking, branding, social media, and interviewing techniques is critical. I will share my knowledge and resources with you to maximize your success at achieving your goals. The skills you develop in this process will serve you well in the future as you change positions or consider other career options.

Depending on where you are on your particular career path, we will utilize some version of the following model, highly customized to your desired pace and goals.

Discovery Process: Who are you?

Employing various assessments and tools, customized to your particular situation, you will reach an enhanced level of self-awareness and powerfully uncover your strengths, passions, values, goals and priorities. We will use a combination of Personal Assessments (personality, behavior, values, strengths), in-depth discussions, though-provoking homework assignments, past performance reviews, and 360 feedback, if available. Our goal is to help identify where you are best. The benefits?

– You understand better what you are good at, what is important to you, and what you like to do to point you in the right direction.
– I learn what is special about you so I can thoughtfully guide you.
– You can better articulate your value to your network and future employer.

Vision: What do you want?

Based on your enhanced self-awareness, we will work on clarifying your career goals. Are you targeting a specific career? Are you weighing a few possibilities? Are you considering becoming an entrepreneur?

Depending on how much career clarity you have, we may use some specific career assessments (such as MAPP, JVIS, Meyer’s Briggs) to help you consider alternatives. Or I may encourage and guide you to conduct some informational interviews to find out more about various alternatives.

Entrepreneurial aspirations? If you are seriously considering starting your own business, we will utilize a powerful entrepreneurial assessment tool to test your assumptions and a “Launch Business Checklist” to guide your efforts.

Once you come up with your specific vision, we will move on to the next all important step of designing a tailored action plan to help you achieve it.

Career Action Plan: How will you achieve your career goal?

The all-important branding: We will work to define and communicate your personal brand. How can you differentiate yourself and stand out from the crowd? How will you identify and articulate the unique value you bring to the table? I will help you have confidence in your brand and then consistently communicate it across platforms to enhance and confirm your image.

With your brand and “story” defined, I will support you in your job search by sharing my up to date knowledge in:
