An old Chinese proverb begins, "there are many paths to the top of the mountain…"

Think of reaching that mountaintop as achieving your ultimate career goal, or "right livelihood." Wouldn't it be great to have a job that not only pays the bills but is also fulfilling, meaningful and satisfying?

In climbing the proverbial mountain, we often get lost in the woods, run into dead-ends or get carried downstream trying to cross a river. (If you've ever become "burned-out", been "downsized", fired or otherwise "displaced" in the job market, you can relate.) A good coach is like a mountain climbing guide, she/he helps the climber find the paths out of the woods, blaze new trails, find or build the bridges and keep the upward momentum.

I work with clients who are interested in discovering, identifying and obtaining work that "fits". Do you want to:

• Use your unique talents, abilities and knowledge in your job?
  
• Achieve a better work/life balance?
  
• Experience personal and professional growth?
  
• Do work you love to do?
  
• Pursue a vocational "calling?"
  
• Explore other careers?
  

Like athletic coaches, life coaches help you clarify and focus on your goals, challenge you to recognize your options, maximize your potential, realize your possibilities, encourage you to pursue your dreams, and celebrate your successes. Unlike some other professions, coaches choose their clients as much as clients choose their coaches resulting in beneficial partnerships. Let's see if we are one!

I offer a free ½ hour session, a " mutual interview", to see if we are a good fit to work together. Please contact me to set up an interview or to get more information.
