Coaching That Meets You Where You Are

One of the first things I tell clients is that there isn't one right way to approach a career change.

Some people come to me knowing exactly what they want to do next but need help getting there. Others know they're ready for something different but aren't sure what direction makes sense. Some need support throughout the entire process, while others simply need help with one specific challenge.

That's why I offer several coaching options and always tailor the process to what you actually need.

Depending on your goals, coaching may include career exploration, strengths and values assessments, resume development, LinkedIn optimization, networking strategies, job search planning, interview preparation, or a combination of these services.

These programs are based on a coaching process I've refined over years of helping clients navigate career changes, job searches, and professional growth, while still allowing the flexibility to focus on their unique goals. My commonly used coaching programs include:

EXAMPLES OF CAREER COACHING PACKAGES

5-Session Career Programs

Career Direction & Strategy Package

For people who already know what they want to do

If you already have a goal in mind but aren't sure how to get there, this package can help. We'll focus on creating a clear strategy, identifying opportunities, and helping you move forward with greater confidence and direction.

Career Clarity & Strategy Package

For people who are still figuring it out

This package is designed for people who know something needs to change but aren't yet sure what that change should be. We'll spend time exploring your interests, strengths, values, and work preferences before creating a practical plan for moving forward.

8-Session Comprehensive Career Coaching Program

The 8-session program is for people who want support throughout the entire process.

This option allows us to take a deeper dive into both exploration and execution. We'll have the time to identify the right direction, develop a personalized strategy, work through obstacles as they arise, and adjust your approach along the way.

It's a great fit for people navigating a significant career transition or anyone who wants ongoing support and accountability from start to finish. In short, you get hand-holding throughout the whole process that sometimes we all need.

Career Intensives

Sometimes you don't need a full coaching program.

You may simply just need focused support in one area.

My 80-minute Career Intensives are personalized, one-on-one sessions designed to help you make meaningful progress quickly.

Available intensives include:

  • General Career Coaching

  • Career Clarity 1: Interests Assessment & Career Exploration

  • Career Clarity 2: Strengths & Values

  • Resume Strategy & Live Resume Edits

  • LinkedIn & Personal Branding

  • Networking & Job Search Strategies

  • Interview Coaching

 

Many clients start with an intensive before deciding whether additional coaching support would be beneficial.

Not Sure What's Right for You?

That's okay. Most people aren't.

Schedule a consultation and we'll talk about where you are, what you're hoping to accomplish, and what type of support makes the most sense. Again, no two clients are exactly alike, which means we'll spend our time where it will be most valuable for you.
