When you come to me for career coaching, here are the outcomes you'll get:

When you come for career coaching, I take you through a process I have developed that helps people discover and implement the right next steps for themselves.

The first part of the process helps you "get out of your own way." This entails becoming aware of and changing any unconstructive thinking, understanding why you may have been "just going through the motions" in your prior jobs, preventing repetition of decisions made "for the wrong reasons," overcoming "irrational" fears, and overcoming any self imposed limitations. During this part of the process (first 2 - 4 meetings) you will go: from having a "negative" internal voice to having an encouraging and self championing internal "voice"; from being disconnected with yourself or making decisions out of obligation to identifying what makes you feel fulfilled/proud and seeking those opportunities; and from feeling fearful and stressed to feeling more in command of your own life. The skills you learn in the first part accelerate your ability to be certain about and implement your next steps, and ensure that your next steps are in alignment with a fulfilling career and life picture.

The second part of the process helps you decide what you want next for your life. As you are feeling more confident and clear about your purpose and identity, you are ready to decide on next steps from a position of strength. The foundation you've built may open doors that you didn't think were possible for yourself. The second part of the process (next 2-3 meetings) is more similar to conventional career coaching - you will go through a series of exercises that help you determine what you want to do and where you want to do it, and how to implement an action plan to actualize your vision for yourself. Where applicable, I support you in preparing for high impact interviews, communicating to others about your plans, or starting your own venture.

In sum, the overall result is that you will come to a decision that stems from your true intuitions, uses bold thinking balanced with practical considerations, and is made from a stance of confidence and conviction rather than fear and obligation.

"Even after two sessions, this is one of the most powerful experiences of my whole life. You completely shifted my whole belief system from who I thought I was - all the negative, "not enough" thoughts - to a totally clean slate. This is totally freeing… I now feel completely opened up to loving myself and others. I asked you to help me figure out the right job, and I got so much more!"
Elizabeth Kelley

"It's unbelievable how much progress I've been able to make so quickly! I now deal with stress like water off a duck's back. I know how to figure out why and how to convert my stress into positive actions. This has been an incredible process of self-discovery, I am so happy with the career choice I am now making and I would have never come to it if I hadn't gone through this with you."
Jim Bean, Boston Scientific

"A spectacular experience! This was so much more than a typical career coaching - it was a life lesson. I cleared up the hold the past had on me - this went deeper than therapy, and hit on things that many other workshops had never delved into - with effective, practical tools for every aspect of my life. It was like a construction project - we took down the roadblocks piece by piece to clear the way for me - to get this next career move that I'm wildly excited about, to improve the way I manage other people, and to enrich and deepen my relationships. I learned so much about myself - this coaching has had a HUGE positive impact on my life."
B.R.

"Night and day since our first session! I've been able to get my groove back and put the positive vibe out at work… For three months I didn't have any job prospects, since our first session I'm in the second interview round for 4 viable positions. Now I am no longer "generic white guy" - I know how to differentiate myself, show my excitement for the position, and connect with the interviewer so they know I'm the guy for the job"
SG, software engineer

"…I knew some of this in my head but I was never able to do anything about it. Today is monumental for me. It's a feeling of WOW! I'm totally pumped up, like I can move mountains right now…"
Senior Marketing Director, Thompson Financial

"A life changing experience. After four sessions, I feel like a new person."
