Your Career Need an Energy Boost?
Does it take three cups of coffee for you
to get ready to face work?
Are you unsure about the next move
to make on your career path?
Apprehensive about the job market
and how to position your skills?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, CAREER COACHING with me can help.

You may be wondering...
What is Coaching?
Coaching is an almost unheard of magical practice… it is a space devoted completely and totally to YOU! I think of it as a sacred experience where we focus exclusively on who YOU are, what YOU want, and the career path YOU envision. Without judgement, putting fear and expectations in their place, and bringing forward the values and opportunities that are important to YOU.
If you’d also like a more technical definition… The International Coach Federation (ICF) “defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.” The coaching process is directed and driven by the client; the coach is a collaborative partner who actively listens and contributes reflection, powerful questions, and resources.
What does a Coach do?
My job as your coach is to create and hold a safe, nonjudgmental, confidential space. What do we do in that space? We answer your big questions, questions like:
- What do I want out of my career?
- What do I want my career to look and feel like?
- How do I want to show up at work?
- What is the impact I want to have in my work?
- What are the steps I need to get where I want to be?
Or may be like:
- How do I defeat imposter’s syndrome?
- How do I show up as confident and capable?
- How do I get my work and ability visible to the right people?
- How do I decide which direction to go in where there is no map?
- What is the value of a network, how do I build one, and do I want to?
And so many others!
How Can Coaching Help You?
Build Your Confidence
What do all of these terms have in common?
- Imposter Syndrome
- Self Saboteurs
- Inner Gremlins
- Limiting Beliefs
- Inner Critic(s)
- The Voice of Doubt
- The Voice of Hesitation
The are all “enemies” of our confidence. But they do serve a purpose. Coaching can help you place all of these things into context so that they can work FOR you, instead of against you.
Troubleshoot Your Career
Problem solving is a skill, but difficult to do in the dark. Coaching can help turn on a spotlight. Together, we can identify the road blocks between you and your goals, then create a plan to go over, under, around or through those barriers. In partnership, we can:
- Identify and breakdown the issues that have you stuck
- Brainstorm corrective actions
- Create and execute an action plan
- Review results and revise where needed
Clarify Your Career Vision
Taking a broader view of your career, we can explore where you are now, where you would like to be in the future, and what it will take to get there. Because I don’t have a crystal ball or a magic genie, I cannot predict the future–and I haven’t met anyone who can. So for me, career planning isn’t about having a step-by-step plan–that is a perfect recipe for frustration, disappointment and failure. What we can do together is:
- Develop skills, methods, techniques and tools that ensure you are ready for opportunity when it presents itself.
- Understand your professional values, strengths, skills, and super powers to help improve your leverage when the right position pops up.
- Future vision to discover the possible directions that feel like professional growth to you, and clarify what it will take to get to those possible goals.
- Figure out how to get you playing at the level you want right now! You may not be a people leader today, but how can you get real-life, hands-on experience now? You may not be an expert in your field, but how can you make steps towards that today?
Dream Surf to Opportunity
Sometimes we also refer to this as dream surfing or I like “daydreaming for adults.”
Do you remember what it was like to simply allow your mind to wonder? Without guilt, objection or complaint.
As adults, we often forget the power of the imagination and allowing our minds to run wild. Yet, if you aks many at the top of their fields, this is exactly what they practice every single day. Dream surfing is where innovation, energy, newness, creativity, and possibility converge and are born. Whether you are the one creating that amazing new thing or the person about to benefit from the new job position that it creates, dream surfing maybe just what you need to make it happen.
Coaching can offer the kinds of open-ended rich questions that tickle your mind into opening a brand new doorway into opportunity.
And so much more
Activating your imagination. Nurturing talents and growing skills. Expanding perspective. These are activities that create a new landscape of possibilities under your direction.

My Coaching Philosophy
I hold the belief that you are whole, creative, and resourceful— in and of yourself right now, as you are, who you are today. As such, I believe that you are capable of
- understanding your own drives and motivations
- defining your own dreams and goals, and
- walking your path to personal success and fulfillment.
You are the captain of your own ship. You may not be able to dictate life’s current or waves. But, you can set your destination, chart your course, and steer in the right direction for you. You can also course correct as necessary along the route, with the full prerogative to change your mind along the way.
