Perfect for students, new grads, and those dissatisfied with their current job OR a professional wanting a MENTOR to help them with specific career issues. 
As a career coach, I have helped hundreds of professionals at a crossroads in their careers. Typically, they are feeling stuck. They are either not in their ideal job or career. They need advice on a tough career situation.
They’re unsure how to navigate the job search process or identify their military or retirement encore career. They’re frustrated because they want to make the right career decision but are finding the change and transition overwhelming, and they may also be dealing with fear, doubt, and lack of self-confidence.
I help them overcome those obstacles by tapping into their passions, interests, strengths, and values to live the career and life of their dreams.
My clients come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. Therefore, your coaching experience will be highly personalized – tailored specifically to you. The number of sessions required depends on your progress and when you feel you can navigate forward on your own.
With a proven approach as a leader in human resource functions, a hiring manager, and a professional coach, I am honest, direct, and your biggest champion.
Your success is my success.
Many clients want to go through the full Career Coaching Cycle in the graphic, and others only need specific segments of it. Early on, we will set goals on what you want to accomplish in your coaching sessions.
Coaching is done via the telephone, Zoom, or Skype. For those in the Augusta, GA metro area, in-person sessions are offered.
