I Help You Simplify The Career Change Process

Gain Clarity and Confidence in Your Career Path with Personalized Coaching Services

As a career coach, I know firsthand how overwhelming and challenging it can be to navigate a career transition. That's because I've been there myself. When I was in my late forties, I experienced burnout and knew I needed to make a change. I made the difficult decision to leave a 25-year career that I loved without a plan, hoping that I would figure out what I wanted to do next.

​

I spent hours at my computer, scrolling through job postings and updating my resume. But I wasn't getting anywhere. I found myself looking at jobs that resembled my old job because it felt safe, but my heart knew that wasn't what I really wanted.

​

It wasn't until I got clarity about my career and life goals that I stopped wasting time and money trying to figure it out on my own. That clarity made all the difference, and I knew I wanted to help others find that same clarity and fulfillment in their careers.

​

That's why I became a career coach. I am passionate about helping others achieve their full potential and find satisfaction in their work and life. I provide guidance and support in a range of areas, including job search strategies, resume building, interview skills, networking, career transitions, professional development, self-leadership, work-life balance, and more.

​

My own experience of going through a career transition and working with other clients has taught me that everyone's career journey is unique. That's why I tailor my coaching services to your individual needs and goals. I work with you to identify your values, strengths, and life and career aspirations.  We develop a plan to achieve them.

By working with me, you will build self-confidence, stay accountable to your career development goals, and gain clarity about your career and life path. I provide guidance on training and professional development opportunities and help you overcome any fears and challenges that may be holding you back.

​

If you're ready to take the first step towards a fulfilling and successful career, I invite you to contact me today. Let's work together to achieve your career goals and find the satisfaction and fulfillment you deserve.
