In competitive sports, both budding and the best athletes have coaches to guide them and push their performance to the next level. Today’s workplace is as competitive as any sport. Just as an athletic coach can help an athlete reach peak performance, a career coach can help you reach your full potential and professional aspirations. 

Career coaching will give you a fresh and objective perspective, help you create a clear vision of what you want to accomplish, and build an action plan to achieve your career goals. If even just one of the following statements or questions applies to you, you can benefit from career coaching:

• Despite success and recognition, do you no longer feel satisfied or challenged in your role/career?

• Do you feel stuck in your career or company and not sure why or what to do about it?

• After numerous years in the same job or field, are you feeling burned out and uncertain what to do next?

• Wondering why you’ve been passed over for promotions or prime assignments?

• Are you fully prepared for your next performance review?

• Can you confidently make your case for a raise or promotion?

• Are you in a new job and feeling insecure?

• Are you experiencing problems with a coworker or boss and don’t know how to fix the problem?

• Are you struggling between multiple career choices?

• You know what you want to do next, but aren’t sure how to make it happen?

• Do you know how to conduct an effective job search in 2015?

• Are you confident your resume clearly differentiates you from your competition?

• Do you find it difficult to sell yourself in an interview?

• Do you struggle to articulate your value, previous contributions, and successes?

• Are you considering leaving the corporate world and starting your own business?

• Is retirement imminent? Are you considering an encore career, but not sure what that is?
