Why do I need Career Coaching?

Career coaching is a way to tap into your potential to achieve personal and professional satisfaction. Since you’re going to spend one-third of your life at work, wouldn’t it be nice to enjoy it? But too many people don’t enjoy their work, and feel trapped in a job they never should have had in the first place. Being in the wrong job can have a significant impact on your health. In fact, stress caused by dissatisfaction with your job can lead to obesity, depression, heart attack, high-blood pressure and stroke.

A career coach can help you avoid the devastating impact of an unsatisfactory career by helping you leverage your natural gifts and talents to obtain the career of your dreams. Just like athletes with exceptional skill and talent rely on the assistance of a coach to help them perform at peak levels, a career coach can help you refine your raw talent—enabling you to reach new levels of success at whatever career stage you’re in.

Whether you’ve been working for a number of years and still wonder, “What career is right for me?”; need help on career change; find yourself 10 years into a job you vowed was only temporary until you found something better; or are in a satisfying career, but want to advance to higher levels of success, my career coaching services are designed to give you the tools you need to realize your greatest potential.

I offer three coaching services that address people in different stages of their career. These services include:

Joel was highly recommended by another client. During our first call, he communicated a depth of understanding and compassion that none of the other coaches did. With Joel’s guidance I overcame a lot of internal doubt and fear to find my dream job. I am now applying to school to get a Bachelor in Fine Arts for Interior Architecture and Design. Having Joel as my coach was key to stepping out of my fears and doubts. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to lead me through the career discovery process.

By seeing other people in group going through the same things, I realized almost everyone only does what society, friends or family think they should, not what makes them happy.

Jodi Williams

Very quickly, Joel was able to help me understand that my passion for work stems from engaging in work that lets me utilize my natural gifts. To discover those gifts, Joel coached me to look back to my childhood to discover the activities that I found enjoyable and that I was naturally good at, and to extrapolate from those activities the characteristics I would likely find in my dream job. He therefore very quickly helped me get unstuck and start my journey toward my dream job.

Michelle Abrams

Remember, you are the person who resolved an issue I had for 15 years of my life (almost half). You changed me from a high tech marketing manager to professional organizer and entrepreneur! And it was worth every penny.

Tiffany Mock

Without fail, Joel helps me to get very clear on what steps I might take to clear obstacles from my life. His ability to cut through the emotion and get to the solution has been valuable to me.
