My Approach:
Comprehensive Guidance
Many coaches focus only on the emotional aspects of career transitions, but my approach goes further. I provide a unique blend of emotional support and practical assistance. We address the feelings that come with changing jobs but also actively refine your career artifacts—like your resume, LinkedIn profiles, and portfolio. These artifacts are your tools for making first impressions and demonstrating your professional caliber; they need to be crafted to reflect your skills, achievements, and the unique.
Tailored Strategies
Understanding that many struggle to translate insights into action, I have developed tools and best practices that effectively address these core challenges. Clients often describe working with me as hitting the "fast-forward" button—it's a dynamic blend of discussion and decisive action.
Each coaching session is designed to be impactful, with tailored homework assignments that are directly aligned with your goals. This approach ensures that the value of our sessions extends beyond our meetings. You are equipped with clear, actionable steps that propel you forward along your career path. It's not only about the progress we make together in our sessions but also about the actions you take on your own.
Self-Discovery Focus
I believe much of what we can uncover comes from what you already know. I facilitate self-discovery so that the outcomes align with your skills, values, and aspirations.
International Coaching Federation (ICF) Accreditation
Did you know that anyone can call themselves a coach? Top coaches hold an International Coaching Federation designation, ensuring the highest standards. I graduated from an ICF Accredited Coaching Program and hold a Professional Certified Coaching certification from the ICF. This means I have coached many hours before achieving my accreditation, taken a rigorous exam, submitted recordings of my coaching sessions for quality, and continue to abide by a code of ethics.
Experience
I spent over 20 years working in Fortune 50 organizations in roles spanning sales, strategy, and human resources, I have insights into the corporate world and understand firsthand the dynamics of career progression and development.
