Life and Career Coach

My fellow career coaches and I are qualified in many ways to help you make a life or career change as your life and career coach, but the career resource clients find most relevant is this:  each life coach at Feroce has mastered both the art of personal reinvention and personal self-mastery (integrity, work-life balance, time management, an ethic of excellence in all that we do).  Dip into a few success stories, or sample coaching conversations.

What is life and career coaching?  Coaching is about generosity of will and spirit. It is about expanding a client's awareness and then helping them to be accountable to what they have learned about themselves.  It's no simple task to explain briefly why coaching works.  But imagine this: you're a CEO.  You've got goals and the need to reach them -- and you have a chief of staff following you around all day, with a clipboard and a Rolodex of resources.  Do you get things done?  Yes, you do.

Now imagine a chief of staff schooled in psychology, negotiation, best business practices and organization, and motivational behavior.

Now you're talking coach.  Through the telephone coaching, email, and instant messenger throughout the week, we help you spot self-limiting thinking, strategize solutions for you, and codify your intentions and plans to make sure you get things done. We strategize, we brainstorm, we hold you accountable, and you get things done.

Sometimes we will just help you over that cliff. But only after you've told us you're ready, looked back, and given me the thumbs-up sign.

Life and Career Coaching
 

How can Feroce help you with your career? What we do best is draw out your true loves.  Most career advisors or career counselors will focus on your "skills".  This is a good start, but a very limiting approach.  If you've been out of school for more than a couple of years, you already know your skills.  What you don't know is what who you are, and in many cases you don't know how or where you can find the courage or support to pursue the answer to that question.  Enter career coaching.  In addition to the coaching, we have the expertise to guide you through powerful career assessment tools.

In addition, you sometimes do know what you really want to do, but you're stuck.  How to get unstuck?  We're adept at rooting out subconscious barriers; some clients call it intuition but we only say what makes sense.  Finally, if your existing career skills were a source of fulfillment, why would you be looking for a change?  In many cases, your current skill-set may be exactly what you want to leave behind.

By becoming a Feroce client, you will also have access to our Strategic Life Planning career tool, a self-assessment specially constructed from our own experience and 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 in one place.

Skills testing, schmills testing.  What you really know want to know is what to do, which starts with knowing who you are:  your goals and values.  That's where real creativity and a career coach's intuitive understanding of people come in.  Is your life aligned with the goals and values you claim to have?

There are a number of reasons clients seek help from a life and career coach, including that they:

● Want help understanding the changing expectations of employees and employers

● Want to determine whether they're ready to strike out on their own

● Are already in career transition and want to map out career development

● Want to get to the next level in the current job, enhance performance, improve sales, and much more

● Have a big decision to make among different careers and want a sounding board

● Are unhappy in life, but unsure what role the career plays in that dissatisfaction ? and want some guidance on finding out

● Are trying to decide what they really want to do ? and then come up with the courage to make a change and manage it

● Are deciding among job offers and want additional advice, including how to negotiate the best compensation package
● Are trying to decide whether to get additional education for a career
● Are struggling with a decision of whether to stay in a corporate job or strike out into something less conventional
