How coaching accelerates your process
➔ Setbacks can destroy our motivation and derail our progress.
➔ Career worries and the uncertainties of change can lead even the most successful people to settle.
➔ And often, issues come up that are not external, pragmatic, or career related at all.
Often, our perception, expectations or assumptions about ourselves, our circumstance, and the people around us can slow our progress or even guide us in the wrong direction.
My coaching involves a collaborative approach that facilitates a deeper, more intentional process to arrive at your own personal best decisions – to accelerate your progress by going in the right direction.
Together, we can explore external and internal needs, desires, and challenges to help you achieve your goals, discover meaningful personal insights, and overcome personal or professional barriers along the way.

Beyond what mentors, resume writers, and typical career coaches can offer
How am I different?
I’ve been highly intentional in cultivating the four domains/specialties needed for optimal transitions:
- A career counseling background necessary for mid-life career decisions, including research-backed career development theory and emotional intelligence frameworks to help you make sense of seemingly unrelated career and personal observations.
- A strengths-focused career, life, and executive coaching approach, helping you create internal meaning and momentum you won't experience with standalone career strategy and branding.
- An in-house career branding methodology integrating resume writing and LinkedIn strategy with the professional branding framework used to create some of the world’s most effective and memorable brands.
- Psychology-informed communication techniques to help you convey your ideas compellingly and become more persuasive (and gracefully assertive) in your career search, work life, and personal interactions.
I bring these specialties together to support you throughout your career and/or life transition.

Most career programs:
- Assume straightforward career advancement
- Are tactically oriented, missing the human component altogether
- Offer a “proven system” with a big-box philosophy
