Feroce Coaching’s unique team approach means we can provide a coach for every occasion — including when a client wants to work with one of our minority and specialty career coaches:

• African-American career coach LaVonne Dorsey
• Asian-American career coach C.J. Liu
• IT Career Coach Rajeev Dujari
• or any of our women career coaches.

Let me introduce LaVonne, C.J., and Rajeev below.

African-American Career Coach LaVonne Dorsey

Asian-American Career Coach CJ Liu

C.J. Liu is a career coach who has worked with individuals, groups, teams, and organizations.  As a former CFO and marketing and strategic consultant, she has over 20 years of business experience in a variety of industries and functional areas.  Her extensive business background enables C.J. to quickly understand the breadth and depth of many career-related issues.  Before joining Feroce Coaching, C.J. served as an in-house executive/business coach at Microsoft.

C.J.’s goal is for each client to feel alive as they make career choices that allow them to reach their full potential, follow their personal dreams and ambit

ions, and feel an inner sense of meaning and purpose.  C.J. has an intuitive approach that is grounded in practicality, which means that she offers helpful tools, strategies and action plans, but also deep listening, cheerleading, and heartfelt support.

For professionals interested in career transitions, C.J. matches her approach to each person’s unique needs.  This can result in a week-by-week determination of what to cover, or a more formalized structure.  For those who enjoy some structure, C.J. offers a three-phase process.

1. Phase I is about clarifying your interests, skills, and life goals outside of work, so that you can develop a clear vision of what you want in your next job and your life.
2. Phase II helps you take your vision and construct a game plan and strategies to determine potential areas of interest.
3. In Phase III, we focus your attention on one or two key areas and on a formal job search.  During this phase, C.J. will review your resume, provide interviewing tips, and address any roadblocks that arise.
