Making short-term job changes or long-term career plans can be a complex activity.

  • Am I qualified for that job? If not, what am I qualified for?

  • How do I get promotion X, and if did get promotion X, would I even be interested in it?

  • What does the next role look like for me? What could the next ten years look like?

  • Are there job titles I don’t know about yet?

  • Can I move in-house after consulting or owning my own company?

  • Can I fuel my own company’s growth with a new personal brand?

Reality-focused career coaching

Because my work focuses primarily on telling professionals’ stories in writing—where the written word needs to be defensible—my approach to career coaching tends to be less about “finding the color of one’s parachute” and more about substantiating what’s actually possible.

After all, our careers don’t grow and evolve based solely on how we feel. Sure, feelings play a vital role in career decisions, but they can’t be the sole factor.

Somewhere in a professional’s career, usually right around the ten-year mark, we start being hired for our expertise—not simply because we’re fast learners and have a can-do attitude.
