Executive Performance Coaching
Career development is an art as much as a science --- demanding inquiry and innovative thinking. My experience and understanding of human behavior informs my thinking that people who are motivated to change, can change. Most people benefit greatly from some structure and guidance to facilitate this change process, and that's where a coach comes in.
Do you want to leverage strengths and fill in knowledge/skill gaps to change or advance your career? Do you need help developing your business skills or business partnerships? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then you are on your way. Acknowledging your desire and/or need to change is the first step. People are typically more capable than they think, and often times your own perceptions or expectations you feel from yourself or others can get in your way. To that end, my advice is to get out of your own way. Here's a favorite quote: "If we did all the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves." ~ Thomas Alva Edison

Career consulting is focused on strategic and tactical ways to help you meet your career goals, to make a transition within your industry, move up the ladder, or change career. Career coaching can focus on a range of marketing tools - your resume, bio, LinkedIn profile, networking strategy/skills, pitch development, interviewing skills, and negotiation skills. You can customize a coaching package based on your needs. My network also becomes yours, so I frequently make introductions so you can meet the right people. - Skills / Competency Development
Training identifies necessary skills and creates targeted learning tools to build knowledge and increase effectiveness. Training can use both didactic. and experiential learning tools - including thinking exercises, role-play, and case studies, in face-to-face and distance learning formats. My understanding of adult learning theories and techniques and years of corporate training has given me a range of tools to use in coaching individuals or groups to make develop targeted skills.
