"Don't ask what the world needs; ask what makes you come alive and go do it.  Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."— Howard Thurman, Mentor to Martin Luther King, Jr.

As a leadership coach and consultant since 2002, I have worked intimately with many accomplished individuals who are also facing career challenges.  Getting on the right career trajectory can be challenging at times, even for the most “successful” career paths.  Change happens, and it happens to most of us at some point(s) in our working life. 

What I have learned from my coaching experience is that challenges in career, or work, become powerful opportunities for making adjustments that better align your values, strengths and interests.  It’s an opportunity to pause and recalibrate your roles and responsibilities for even greater impact and fulfillment.

Having the support of a professional coach by your side as you explore “what’s next” has many benefits, and is often well worth the investment.  Just as I have coached many clients to more fulfilling career paths, I can also help you:

• Identify core values and skillsets that are “must haves” in your work
• Develop techniques and practical approaches to “wait it out”
• Focus on actions that fully align with interests and values
• Think out loud to better formulate targeted action plans
• Utilize right-brain approaches to complement more logic-oriented methods of “figuring out” next steps
• Focus on long-term sustainable satisfaction instead of merely “keeping a job”
• Maintain accountability to keep successes moving forward, while at the same time managing the highs and lows
• Enlist the support of important relations in your life to make the process easier and more inclusive.

Career coaching benefits you and your organization

Career coaching is actually a great benefit to any organization.  Often times, the coaching process leads the employee to realize they are already in the right job and company, and the job-description just needs some tweaking.   Other times, quite honestly, the coaching leads the employee to leave the organization.  Despite the short-term disruption, it inevitably creates greater benefit for both the employee and organization, as both parties are freed-up to find a better fit.

"The best strategy for building a competitive organization is to help individuals become more of who they are."

— Marcus Buckingham, best-selling author and former Senior Researcher at the Gallup Organization
