"If you don't believe that where you are headed will make you happier than where you are now, you probably aren't particularly inclined to take the steps to get there."
A different approach...
For many career coaches or counselors, the focus is entirely on the logistics of getting a new job: resumes, applications and interviews. I approach things a bit differently. First, we will define in explicit detail what success looks like, which starts with answering the question "What will make me happier experientially in my next job/career than my previous job/career?" Maybe it's less managing and more task focused or vice versa. Maybe it's working for a company whose products or service you believe in. Once we know that, we'll look at success from the standpoint of salary, location, job description, hours, benefits, work environment, company size, etc.. Then, together, we'll craft an active strategy to get you there.
Pointed in the right direction, we'll look for the internal barriers to achieving your success. When you start to move towards your goal, do you self-sabotage or get in your own way? Maybe it's anxiety, self-esteem or an inability to stay motivated. Maybe it's time management, attention deficit or a lack of follow through. When we isolate and understand our own personal barriers to success (as well as where they came from and why we cling to them) we can find a way around, over or through. There is a perfect job out there for you; tailor-made for your skills, personality and lifestyle. We'll find it and make sure your future employer sees that this is the job you were born to do.

The system...
Direction
We create a specific vision of what kind of job or career would reward you financially, situationally, intellectually and emotionally.
Clear a Path
What will derail, delay or sabotage your chances of achieving success? We'll work together to get you over, around or through your obstacles. Often, the work we do here will transfer (positively) into other aspects of life.
Action
What are the specific steps necessary to secure your new position? This is not a cookie-cutter approach. We will tailor the action plan to match you and the type of jobs you are interested in.

The nuts and bolts...
How often?
We'll likely start off meeting every week (or talking on the phone if you prefer). Once we've made it to the action phase, we may spread things out a bit further to give you more time to take steps towards your new job.
For how long?
It varies. Between 1 - 6 months depending on how proactive you are. (If being proactive isn't your strong suit we might work on that.) Sometimes our work is cut short when an early action step produces a job offer.
How much?
