Why I Started Coaching
A few years ago, I noticed a trend among the professionals and students I worked with: a need for practical guidance on identifying and experiencing fulfilling career paths. Traditional counseling sources like college Career Centers and corporate HR departments are typically under resourced and did not provide the level of support these people needed, leaving them frustrated, confused, discouraged, and demotivated.
I started career coaching to help these people - to fill their need to discover and achieve career opportunities that align with their strengths, values, and aspirations. I love challenging my clients to reach their full potential and to facilitate positive change in their lives.
My approach includes providing honest feedback, support and encouragement, customized techniques, collaboratively establishing a path forward using a five part coaching process and data derived from time-tested assessments. My passion is to work with people to help them reach their next step leading a fulfilling professional life.
