According to the International Coach Federation, “professional coaching is a professional partnership between a qualified coach and an individual or team that supports the achievement of extraordinary results, based on goals set by the individual or team. Through the process of coaching, individuals focus on the skills and actions needed to successfully produce their personally relevant results.” When applied to career coaching, these goals are typically geared towards helping people to make career transitions.

“Professional coaching is a distinct service which focuses on an individual’s life as it relates to goal setting, outcome creation and personal change management.” Therefore, coaching is NOT therapy, consulting, mentoring or training.

Life & Career Change Coaching provides a step-by-step process for changing careers when you don’t know what career you’d love to have.  Clients work with a coach to identify what they don’t like about their current situation, what’s in the way of moving ahead, and what they truly would like to be doing based on their unique skills, abilities, and most importantly, their passion.  Coaching takes place over the telephone and e-mail and allows you to learn how to take action and make progress even when you don’t know what you want in the first place.  You learn how to overcome common barriers to a career change such as fear of failure, discomfort about “starting over”, and fear about not making/having enough money.  Working with a coach on your career change means you learn how successful careers changers actually make a transition allowing you to make yours faster while having more fun.
