Career Coaching and Career Transition Coaching

​

If you are planning a career change, ready to advance to the next level, need help with job search strategies or seeking more meaningful work, meeting with a coach is a valuable way to set and achieve your goals for change.

​

Career Coaching

​

Career coaching is a collaborative process that uses focused conversations and self-directed learning to turn the challenges of a career change into an opportunity for growth.

​

If you are contemplating a career change, feel stuck at work, want to better integrate work and life commitments, and/or are seeking advancement opportunities, working with a Career Coach is a valuable way to set and achieve your goals for change.

​

Together we work on discovering your personal strengths and motivators. I will work with you to generate goals, options for change, and an action plan for achieving practical results.

​

Issues that can be addressed with coaching include:

​

• Exploring career possibilities beyond job postings

• Assessing strengths and areas for development

• Communicating career interests with confidence

• Developing a job search strategy

• Managing the stress of a career transition or job loss

• Advancing into senior positions including leadership

• Balancing work and life priorities

Career Transition Coaching

​

If you are currently going through change, retaining a Career Transition Coach is an effective way to support you if you are exiting an organization or if your role has changed. 

​

Working with a Career Transition Coach helps to identify strengths and to develop strategies for addressing gaps during a job search or career transition. I offer practical guidance for short and long term career  planning, job search  and interview coaching, and ongoing support for managing during a period of change. Throughout the process clients receive objective feedback, a sounding board for new ideas and a fresh perspective.

​

Areas of focus for coaching include:

​

• Understanding the job market and how to conduct a proactive job search

• Identifying personal strengths, skills, values and interests

• Communicating effectively to potential employers

• Generating job search options in different sectors and organizations

• Decision-making, goal-setting and action planning

• Developing a presence online and in person

• Researching potential opportunities beyond job postings

• Tactical job search strategies

• Interviewing and networking skills

• Managing the stress of a job search and/or organizational change

• Developing a personal wellness plan during a transition
