The clients I work with on career development tend to be business professionals with at least a Bachelor's Degree and between 8 and 25 years of professional experience.

My services are designed for professionals and managers who are

• ready to identify a career and life path that is in alignment with their personal purpose and what they want out of life

• newly employed and seeking to secure success in the first 90 days

• happily employed and looking to be even more successful

• unemployed involuntarily and are
  • unsure of their next career steps,
  • not getting enough interviews,
  • not landing offers or the "right offers,"
  • feeling uncertain about how to approach negotiations with an employer, or
  • are unhappily employed or who want to explore a career change.

• unhappily employed and ready to make a change

• are interested in working either as "employees" or as independent contractors, consultants, or service providers.

Are any of these statements true for you?

• I feel like there's just something missing from my career - is this really what I'm on this planet to do?

• I just landed a new job and feel like certain parts of it are a stretch; I want to make sure that I'm successful from the get-go!

• I've been laid off and just can't seem to find work.  What do I need to do to land a job that's going to challenge me and generate a good income?

• I've just received a job offer.  Is it competitive?  What do I do if I want to negotiate changes?

• I need a change, but I'm not sure where to start!  How do I get out of this rut and move forward?

• I keep landing interviews for the "jobs I don't want."   What am I doing wrong?

• My career is going great - and I see opportunities for it to go even better!

Clients are likely to be successful working with me if

• You readily and carefully make and keep agreements and live your life with integrity.

• You are willing and able to say "No," when necessary.

• You are willing to set concrete goals and commit to a timeline to achieve them.

• You do "what it takes" to manage expectations at work and then fulfill them.  You always give your best effort and strive for excellence in everything you do.  You do not promise what you cannot deliver, and you deliver what you promise.

• You take initiative to add value beyond what is required for you to "do your job."  The phrase "that's not my job" never crosses your lips and you are all about continuous development, learning, and improvement.

• You are open to new approaches and ideas.  "Not invented here" is anathema to you.  You are more focused on quality and learning than on blame in the workplace.

• You adhere to the highest standards of honesty and integrity.  You treat your manager, your peers, and the people that work for you with honesty and respect.

When you work with me, you can expect to make desirable and sustainable changes in your career.  You will walk away with a better idea of what you want to do and the weight you want to give work in your life both short- and long-term.  You will know how to market yourself and your services and how to function most effectively in the workplace, navigating the politics and positioning yourself for success and promotion.  You will have a clear picture of the role your career plays in your life and how it fits into your overall goals.

If you are looking for work, we approach managing your job search as if you were marketing consulting services. The key to success is to find out and focus on the needs of the employer, along with the benefits and solutions you bring to the table. We prepare a step-by-step job search marketing plan or career development plan if you are already on the job.

I also consider career development to be an organic process, in which it is important to understand your values and the kinds of jobs and work places where the odds of success and happiness will be stacked in your favor. 

I recognize that different clients need different things; one size does not fit all.  I am, above all, flexible.  You set the goals for our work together - both results and time frame; and we agree together on fee structure that works for both of us.  To make the coaching relationship work for you, I require that you come to coaching sessions fully prepared to engage and that you complete all homework as agreed.

There are a lot of coaches out there for you to choose from.  What makes me different from other business and career coaches?  I believe that the difference lies in my ability to leverage a 14-year background in the trenches in small and large multi-national companies to come up with real-world approaches that work.
