My Coaching Has Two Parts: Discovery and Planning

Discovery

Work and careers are complex mental games. We all need help sorting out the dynamics of the workplace, and that's where discovery plays a role. You'll share what's been on your mind, what challenges you're facing, and what you'd like to focus on.

During this phase, we'll identify:

The specific workplace challenges holding you back
The underlying patterns creating frustration
Your unique strengths and how they can be leveraged
What success looks like for you personally

Planning

Here's where we talk brass tacks. Once we've identified the core issues, we'll find a way forward that makes sense for you. It could be a shift in mentality, another path forward, or specific tactics to implement immediately.

Our planning will include:

Concrete strategies tailored to your situation
Scripts for difficult conversations
Boundary-setting techniques
Career navigation roadmaps
Practical tools you can implement right away
