My approach is tailored to you.
I adjust to your needs as we move along and as I get to know you better. This also means that I accept only a limited number of clients so that I can give each of you the highest quality of service and attention.
I work with a number of people – just like you – with various career needs. If you don’t see something that feels like a fit we should talk. It’s hard to know what your ideal solution will be and you’ve got enough on your mind. I can help.
ESTABLISHED PROFESSIONALS
A good option for people, regardless of age, who find themselves needing to get out of a toxic environment, or stalled in their career advancement.
YOUNG PROFESSIONALS
These services are designed for young professionals who know more about what they want and realize their current position isn’t it.
STUDENTS/GRADS
Find a good fit that matches your style, strengths, and career interests with an organization where you can grow personally and professionally.
RETURNING PROFESSIONALS
Especially for people who have been out of the workforce for some period of time, voluntarily or involuntarily.
JUST-IN-TIME INTERVIEW PREPARATION
Can you speak confidently about your qualifications and what makes you the best candidate?
WHATEVER YOU NEED
Don’t delay! Let’s talk. You’ll get proven strategies and expert advice.
Do any of these sound familiar?
“It's so hard to keep going into work every day - the culture is toxic - I have to talk myself out of the car and into the building every morning”
“It was a lay-off. So why do I feel like I was fired?”
“I haven’t looked for a new job in years – I don’t even know where to start!”
“Why did we invest so much money in her education when she can’t find a job that uses her skills?”
These are just some of the things I hear from my clients when we talk for the first time. While their circumstances are different, there is one thing they have in common...
They are looking for more than just a job.

QUESTIONS TO ASK A CAREER COACH
How long have you been doing this work?
You want someone with a combined education/experience > 3 years
What type of tools and strategies do you use?
You’re looking for specifics, names of assessments, exercises, etc. Listen for a process.
How long does this process normally take?
Run fast from anyone who makes claims here like “Within X days – Guaranteed!” Every client is different and the time frame varies widely based on career choice, experience level, and other factors. Expect to hear a range from reputable coaches. E.g. “Most of my clients land well within X-Y…”
How much work will I be doing on my own?
You want to hear about homework, expectations, # of hours.
What support can I expect outside of our formal coaching calls?
The answer will depend on fees and the coach’s style. This is a case where you get what you pay for. If you want last minute interview coaching, or on the spot help negotiating competing offers, etc., you will pay for that and it will be worth it to land the job or say, increase your starting salary by 15%.
What are your fees?
These are going to be based on the specific services you require. After a conversation to determine your needs, a reputable coach will provide you with their fees and covered services in writing so that you can make an educated decision about how to proceed.
