 COPING with the NEED/DESIRE for CHANGE
      How I can help:
I incorporate a variety of effective counselling  strategies beginning with discussion of  your need or desire for seeking change.   Then we work together towards moving you forward, step by step, taking into account any personal, financial etc. factors that need to be considered during your transition process.

SELF ASSESSMENT
of your Strengths, Interests, Skills, Knowledge, Personality, Accomplishments, Attributes and Values ;
Identifying your Uniqueness
      How I can help:
 A selection of  assessment tools will be presented with  my recommendations of which ones can be most helpful for where you are.   Most  will be a combination of  in- office, online work with me and in- between online work for you at home.  It is important to note that Career Consulting is experiencing tremendous changes, away from assessments that match clients with jobs, toward more holistic modalities that involve a narrative approach (telling/writing  stories about your work/life experiences)  and positive psychology.   As a trained Narrative Method Practitioner, I have found this  comprehensive approach to  be highly  beneficial for  clients.   We will then collate/discuss your responses and explore how to connect this information with career/job possibilities to explore.
YOUR MARKETING/NETWORKING PLAN
How I can help:
I will coach you in acknowledging and working through any reluctance or insecurity regarding networking (I call it field research), discuss effective strategies you can implement, and encourage  you onward as you begin to try them. This can include role play in various simulated or upcoming networking situations. I can also guide you in  using Social Media effectively to network, discuss concerns, and answer questions regarding how to proceed in whatever situation you may be facing.
EXPLORING SCHOOL, JOB or CAREER POSSIBILITIES
       How I can help:
From my own experiences and training, I have in-depth understanding of the strong desires as well as the challenges you may be experiencing.  I will guide you in researching, then  sorting through possible options, while maintaining a balance between nurturing your enthusiasm for possibilities and carefully examining the feasibility of pursuing each one until you zero in on a few viable options.

JOB SEARCH PLANNING and PREPARATION
      How I can help:
Through my Coaching experience in  major Career/Employment Management organizations  I have in-depth knowledge of effective job search approaches, including tapping into the "Hidden Job Market." As partners in your search for advancement,  we will move strategically toward achieving your goals. 
  We will work together on setting up and  developing consistent branding between your Linkedin and other Social Media Profiles, Cover Letter and Resume to increase your chances of landing interviews.  Interview practice and role play with immediate feedback is also offered, to help you gain understanding and confidence about how to present yourself well to prospective employers.
