Seizing Opportunities: Accelerating Coaching for Career Success
We just moved up our date...
I had planned to meet with a client whom we'll call Victoria at the end of the week, but upon learning that she just landed an interview for her dream job, I offered to move up our session to the beginning of the week.
By working with a small number of clients at a time, I'm able to work with my clients to adjust as conditions change.
When Your Dream Job Appears
Here’s an excerpt from Victoria’s email (details changed to protect privacy):
“I have some good news. I interviewed with a local organization today for a temporary part-time position, and our conversation went so well that the director invited me to have a follow-up conversation with him and his colleague next week to discuss a possible full-time salaried position, which would be my dream job!”
This type of role Victoria went on to describe is exactly what I imagined for her, based on what she shared with me about her desires and strengths just a couple of weeks ago during our coaching session.
Empowering Progress: Tailored Support for Interview Success
Upon receiving the good news that her interview had gone so well that she had secured a follow-up conversation, we immediately shifted gears.
I provided her with my Interview & Negotiation Preparation Guides, so she can focus her time and energy efficiently and effectively over the next few days. I have developed these materials and refined them over the years, as I’ve shared them with clients and observed what has helped them achieve results.
Accelerating Your Career Pivot Through Coaching
The first time I ever spoke with Victoria was less than one month ago. She had just made it through a tough year. When she came to me, she was feeling deeply discouraged and was looking to craft a fulfilling career. How would she make a career pivot to a new type of work, and was that what she even wanted? These were some of the questions she was grappling with.

She decided to say "yes" to herself. Based on our preliminary conversation, she decided to invest in coaching because she was seeking support to navigate the next steps in her career and life. She was ready to reflect on what got her to the present moment and learn about adjustments to her mindset and approach that could help her move forward with confidence.
Here we are -- less than a month later -- and she is in talks with an employer about her dream job.
I've seen this again and again. When you say "yes" to yourself by investing in clarifying what you want and doing the work, progress often comes quickly.
Achieving Progress on Your Desired Career Pivot
How did Victoria get here? After just a couple of hours of coaching and some time dedicated to digging into the frameworks and tools I shared, Victoria has already achieved substantial progress:
We co-created her coaching experience based on her unique situation and goals. Each client is different and requires their own customized experience.
Next, we’ll focus on readying Victoria to interview and negotiate, so she can feel prepared and confident.
Loving Your Career
I love what I do. How about you?
I derive great satisfaction from helping people reflect, clarify, and engage in intentional exploration so they can lead fulfilling careers.
I've transformed my career again and again, saying "yes" to myself to create space for new learning and growth. I've helped hundreds of people do so as well. And I can help you do it too.
