What Is Coaching?
As simply as possible, coaching is a partnership that empowers and grows more good – better personal and professional satisfaction, better leadership, better careers, better retirement and better collaboration. Coach and client work to take the here and now and grow it into an inspired future.
What Is Career Coaching?
Career coaching boils down to Who/Where/How – Who do I want to be professionally? Where can I do this work energetically? How can I find and create the right professional, personal and leadership opportunities?...and of course, Why and When get thrown in there too because the meaning and the butt kicking implementation + accountability are essential too.
Who are My Clients?
You could be. Are you serious about pursuing your big goals and more good? And do you want to have fun and gain skills that you’ll use again and again? Whether it’s your first job, a new career, post-career or growing into a better leader with more advancement options, I love helping to empower today and tomorrow’s powerful leaders. With recent college graduates, this means figuring out how to get across the bridge from 20+ years of being a student and stepping into “the real world” where you can make a difference. For others, there is liberation in intentional alignment of who you are with a professional path that matches your values and a newly created definition of success. And some of my clients have “made it”……..but know there is more inside and more to do. We take decades of experience and self-awareness and put it together in a new way for more good.
The Stuff
The real work is done by the clients. But, I do bring some great stuff with me. I have created effective tools to quickly get to meaningful steps, curated for each client and their goals. I have a range of exploratory exercises, some very interesting homework and even playing with your own career “Legos”. (Ask me about that when we talk.) I use a handful of nationally recognized assessments and other resources, articles, books and reference. All of this great stuff creates a framework and methodology that sets my clients up for eye-opening, life-changing shifts toward more good.
