With dozens of clients across sectors and over 700 professional coaching hours, I offer a range of opportunities for you or your institution to stand out.
MY CLIENTS
My clients represent a range of fields, including museums, arts and culture, education, non-profit, federal service, and the corporate sector. My clients are mid-career professionals making a career transition or rebounding from a job loss, senior-level colleagues looking to advance to the executive suite or manage career transition, or emerging professionals looking to get a start in their careers. Some clients are looking for specific guidance on recrafting their résumé or cover letter, while others need prep for an upcoming interview. Many of my clients are looking for deeper exploration of skills, passions, and values to guide what’s next in their careers. Check out what some clients have to say.
HOW IT WORKS
Our work together will vary depending on you or your organization, and your specific area(s) of need. We’ll start with a complimentary 30-minute phone or Zoom call, in which we will explore where you are, where you think you’d like to be, and some possible options for taking action to get you there. After that, if you decide it’s a right fit, we will set up a plan for working together.Please see below for details on various services and packages.
