What is the dream job group process?

The 7-Step Dream Job Process is totally different from traditional job search programs. It works from the inside out and focuses on the whole person instead of simply assigning random job titles to match your qualifications. Finding or creating a job that will give you the maximum level of personal fulfillment is the goal. The process has been used with great success to guide clients from the fields of law, business, high-tech, finance, consulting, medicine, education and the arts into a fulfilling career. Group Coaching is the best program available for anyone requesting for career change at any stage of professional development.

The Dream Job Coaching process focuses on the client taking action and increasing self-awareness so that immediate and powerful results will occur. The key to getting exactly what you want from the coaching process is to stay true to what you learn during each session. You will gain new and fresh perspective, powerful solutions, valuable resources, helpful feedback and advice, unlimited support and motivation for career change. When you apply what you learn in each coaching session and through Joel’s personal, email support, you will gain quick and amazing results.

Joel helped me make a career change to start my own interior design business. I have been extremely successful and just completed my 6th profitable year and I am now designing 10-13K sq ft custom homes and commercial properties.

Avani Rajguru

For the last ten years I worked in the insurance industry, I have been trying to determine what my purpose and mission in my life was with no success. Working with Joel one on one and going thru the dream job process, I immediately started getting the clarity to work thru and understand my personal issues that were holding me back from living a fulfilled life. His no nonsense approach and caring attitude pushed me to dig deep and discover a passion that lay inside my heart since I was a little boy. Between Joel’s coaching and him holding me accountable, it allowed me to look internally and discover my true gifts that has always been there and to pursue my dream job of becoming a high school basketball coach with courage and excitement.

Troy RondenoClaims Adjuster,

My biggest challenge was getting clear on what kind of work I wanted to do moving forward. Working with Joel helped me to see that there was a whole realm of possibilities for me to discover and that my choice needed to come from my heart and not my practical head. He was able to help me clarify my thoughts on what was really important to me in a career.
