Career Transition Coaching

Is there a gap between the profession in which you find yourself and what you would rather be doing?

Is your work consistent with who you are?


Transitioning into a new career can be one of the most stressful situations in which anyone can be, but it is not impossible to find work that you enjoy. If you are already clear on what that is, a coach can help support you in targeting specific actions that will lead you there. If you are unclear as to what that is, a coach can help you source and define what you would like to be doing as well as create actionable steps to help you realize your new career choice.

This challenging time is a rich opportunity for growth and learning. Particularly in midlife, there is a possibility for a richer path to meaningful work, a path more reflective of who we authentically are and what we were meant to be. We may be ready to reinvent ourselves. We may have reached a place where we are ready for transformational change. A place where deep learning, coupled with an expanded sense of personal power, catalyzes powerfully to clear paths which can now be traveled with clarity of vision and purpose, to achieve what we know to be our highest potential.

I help my clients:

  • re-evaluate their career path—find work that resonates with who they are and what they want to accomplish
  • reinvent themselves—incorporating more of who and what they were meant to be in their personal and professional lives
  • blend a compelling, satisfying work life with a meaningful, purposeful personal life.

The purpose of career transition coaching is to help individuals move within the same or a different arena, whether or not they know what’s ‘next’ for them. Coaching concentrates on getting clients from where they are today to where they want to be tomorrow by helping them:

  • clarify their vision
  • test it against their value and belief system
  • harness and utilize all their strengths
  • see and work around blind spots
  • create an effective strategy and operationalize it
  • monitor progress
  • fine-tune it in real-time
  • bring it to fruition

I help individuals discover and take the next step in
their evolutionary ladder.
 
A coach is someone who tells you what you don’t want to hear, who has you see what you don’t want to see so you can be who you have always known you could be.
