Let’s get you started …
So What is Career Coaching and How Do You Work?
Fiona: I think of myself as both a Career Coach and a Consultant.
I support you by coaching you through your career decisions as well as by actually working with you to create all of your marketing and presentation materials.
In other words, I teach you (as a Coach) and I also do for you (as a Consultant). Everything we work on together is customized to your situation and needs.
I offer my career advice and career coaching primarily as a ONE Month Intensive Program or on a Monthly Program of multiple months. This way you get full support at a pace you can handle.
It also means, we are not in ‘clock watching mode’. I do a lot of work behind the scenes so this way there are no surprises on costs.
I want all my clients to feel that they received great support to moving them forward and excelling at their career.
Your Life and your Career are a Journey – not just a Destination.
My Coaching Style:
I blend a combination of compassionate listening with a direct communication style to get the results YOU want. I offer specific professional opinions based on 25+ years in the business of supporting people to recognize and present their best selves to the world.
-
- My clients invest in themselves and work with me to guide and inform them of their best choices as well as the possible outcomes and results (good and bad!) of their actions and choices.
- I am not a “Co-active Coach”. (Co-active Coaches rarely have strong opinions that they offer).
- I do not offer generic career advice.
- My advice is specific and tangible to your unique circumstances and goals
- Our conversations and my career advice are always tied into today’s competitive career market.
My goal is to support you in making solid, informed decisions about your career development.
This includes your work happiness as well as your earnings!
Who I Work With:
I work with everyone from individuals going through a career transition (e.g. job change, promotion, layoff, stuck in a career rut, can’t find a job, new to the country, etc.) to Senior Leaders/Executives who are looking for a sounding board and career support.
I want you to leave each session with tangible objectives and specific actions. Actions and goals that simplify your life, increase your career happiness factor, your marketability in your chosen industry – and your earning power.
Why Work With Me:
I know my clients come to me for results not coaching.
I also know working with me isn’t “cheap”.
Career coaching is an investment in yourself and your future happiness and wealth.
Hear what some of my clients say about the value of working with me:
Client Testimonials and Reviews can be found on the Website, LinkedIn.
We also appreciate our 5-Star Google Reviews
My goal is to support you to earn at least 2 – 5X your investment in working with me.
(Actually one client received an increase in her job offer of 50K USD – granted not everyone’s results).
I truly love what I do…
There’s no bigger joy during my work day than when my clients tell me “I got the JOB!“, the PROMOTION, or the RAISE they wanted.
Or when they say “Fiona, I like my work again!”, “I’m finally ready to quit my job”, or “I’m starting that business and I know it’s right”.
That’s why I work with clients – I want to accelerate your career growth.
