My Services
Career Coaching
The goal of career coaching is to empower you by helping you make informed decisions about your career path. During our sessions we will set goals and focus on results, actions, and accountability. Career coaching can consist of a job or role transition, improving your skills, or anything you need to help you be awesome at your career.
During our sessions we will set large and small goals, use career tools, books, and anything else we need to get you moving in the direction you need to be moving forward. During your journey we will visit your past and present, so we can create the future you desire for yourself as you grow or change your career.

What is coaching?
The International Coaching Federation (ICF) describes coaching "as partnership between the coach and the client in a learning and creative process through intentional conversations to assist clients to maximize their personal and professional potential to reach goals and gain new perspectives for personal and professional growth.

About Career Transitions
This summer I completed a research project about the factors affecting mid-career women re-entering the workplace.

It was interesting to learn not only do women experience the pulls of a family to stay home, but it is the pushes in the workplace that causes many of them to off-ramp.
There are several ideas about reimagining the workplace for women one listed
