Career coaches have a number of ways to provide career advice and direction to people aiming for a career change, or to help people interested in developing an existing career. 

If you want help on the path of ending your career indecision once and for all, through one of our career coaches, then look at our hand-picked list of career coaches below.  If you can't decide, that's okay too.  Just ask for your free career coaching consultation and we'll talk to you about your goals in greater detail and suggest a coach we think would be right for you.  To see just some of the many powerful tools that are included at no extra cost in your coaching, see our Strategic Life Planning Process:  The Creation of the Future Self.

What are career coaches?  To coach is to be committed to generosity of will and spirit.  It is to expand clients' awareness and assist clients in being accountable to what they know about themselves by getting over the past and taking action.  We do this through testing, self-assessments in our Strategic Life Planning Process:  The Creation of the Future Self, the weekly action items we jointly create with you, and last but hardly least, some incisive and powerful questions.  In addition to the coaching, we have the expertise to guide you through powerful career assessment tools.

Career Coaching

Our career coaches start by figuring out where you are now.  That means evaluating what's holding you back.  And don't be fooled:  even after just one session, we may be able to inform you of some of the stories you've been telling yourself for too long.  Progress begins right there, with that blast of awareness.

We'll also penetrate into what you really love and care about. Sure, you could ask a career counselor what your "skills" are, but surely if you've been out of college for a few years you already know them. You're probably even be unhappy using them, or you wouldn't be reading this.  But what you don't know is what your true loves are, or how to let yourself listen to them, and often you don't know how or where you can find the support to pursue them. T his is what career coaching is for.  Narrowing the gap between your career wishes and your employment reality.

Second, sometimes clients will know what they really want to do, but they've got some unconscious (sometimes just barely) conflicts that cause them to repress or dismiss the knowledge.  We will root out your subconscious barriers.

You'll also be able to benefit from some one-on-one coaching delivered through our Career Digger career tool, a questionnaire we built from our own experience and literally dozens of career-oriented books -- let us save you the time and money of buying and wading through so many resources.  We've got them all in one place.

Skills testing? While skills are important to know about, what you really know want to know is what you want to, and can, do. That's where real creativity and coaches' intuitive understanding of people -- what they say, how they say it, what they don't say -- comes in.

There are many different reasons clients hire career coaches, and here are just a few:

* You want to get to the next level in your current job, enhance your performance, improve sales, and much more

* You are unhappy in life, but unsure what role your career plays in that grumbling dissatisfaction -- and you want some guidance on finding out.  Perhaps with a life coach?

* You are trying to decide what you really want to do -- and then come up with the courage to make a change and manage it

* You are already in career transition and want to map out your career's development with a career coach

* You have a big decision to make among different careers and want a sounding board and information

* You are deciding among job offers and seek additional (and unbiased) advice, including writing cover letters or figuring out how to negotiate the best compensation package for you

* You are trying to decide whether to get additional education for a career

* You are in a corporate job you want to leave, or are searching for or considering one

* You are struggling with a decision of whether to stay in a corporate job or strike out into less conventional employment and you feel you could benefit from career counseling or, better yet, the business coaching side of career coaching!
