Are you hesitant to sign up for coaching because you think it may not work?  Try a free 30-minute coaching session and experience how coaching can help you make the changes you want to make in your life.  

This call will not be just a question and answer session.  It will be an actual coaching session.  Callers will be given a short homework assignment before the call which may include questions such as:

• What is the issue you want to discuss?
• What are the specific outcomes you want to achieve?
• What would success look like to you?

The purpose of the questions is to help the caller prepare for the session by increasing their focus and clarity around the specific coaching topic they want to discuss.  Doing some prep work up front will allow callers to engage more fully in the coaching process, thus experiencing greater benefits from the call.  

This is a wonderful, low-risk opportunity to experience coaching with a seasoned coach and to see the difference coaching can make in your life. 

If you would like to schedule a complimentary coaching session, please contact me.

Changing Course, Changing Careers:
An E-Course for People
Who Want To Love Their Work

Have you lost interest in your job?  

Maybe you've outgrown your current job and want to find something more challenging.  Maybe you've been laid off and want a fresh start in a whole new career.  Or maybe you've reached a point in your professional life where you are ready to do something that is more congruent with your interests and values.

Do you want to change careers, but aren't sure how to fit this transition into an already too busy life?

Changing Course, Changing Careers is an e-course specifically designed for busy people who are motivated and ready to change careers, but who don't want, or aren't able, to block out an hour each week for a group call or individual coaching.

Do you:

• Dread going to work?
• Struggle with burnout?
• Daydream about other, more exciting careers?
• Wonder if you have outgrown your current career?
• Know you want make a career change, but feel overwhelmed by the process?

Do you want:

• A professional life that challenges and energizes you?
• A more supportive and nurturing work environment?
• The opportunity for professional growth and advancement?
• Work that is more in sync with your passions and values?
• A way to make a difference in the world through your work?

If you have answered "yes" to any of the above statements, this e-course is for you.

Changing Course, Changing Careers gives you the structure and support you need to create the career of your dreams.  I designed this class to give you the information, support, and encouragement you need to make a career change in a structure that is more suited to today's fast-paced world. 

This e-course is a fast, easy, and effective way for you to redesign your career to better fit your interests, talents, and values.  The majority of the class is conducted via e-mail, but there are ample opportunities for you to ask questions, get feedback, and receive individual coaching support as needed. 

Some benefits of the class's unique format include:

• You can start the class at any time.  You won't have to wait for a particular start date.  You can fit the course into a time frame that will work for your schedule.
• You can work at your own pace.  I know that people's schedules are not always predictable.  This class gives you the flexibility of working on assignments when you have the time.  It also allows you to spend more time on the sections that are of particular interest to you.
• You will receive feedback on each of your assignments.  The feedback is geared to help you think outside the box and consider all possible career alternatives.
• You can ask questions or voice any concerns you have at any time throughout the course and receive a response via e-mail within 2 working days. You will not have to wait until the next class session to get the answers you need and want.

• You will receive a career resource guide which lists relevant books and Internet sites that will give you up-to-date information on jobs, resumes, interviewing and more, so that you can make the best possible decisions regarding your new career.
• Changing Course, Changing Careers takes the overwhelm out of the career transition process.  Its practical approach to career transition guides you step by step through the 3 major areas of the career development process 

1. Self-Assessment
Self-assessment is about self-discovery.  The more you learn about yourself and what you need and want from a job, the better able you will be to recognize when a career would be a good fit for you both personally and professionally.  In this section you will address:

• Who you are — your interests, values, and personality style.
• What skills, talents, and knowledge you have to offer.
• What you want to be doing professionally, and where you want to be doing it.

2. Exploration, Evaluation, and Decision-Making
Once you have some career possibilities in mind, the next step is to learn as much about each of them as possible.  This section will help you research your different career options, synthesize and evaluate your data, and then decide on which career(s) you want to pursue. 

3. Implementation
The final step of the process is to implement your decision.  This section will assist you in developing an action plan and workable action steps to ensure that you reach your goal.  It will also address the issues of resistance, fear, and doubt as these are certain to appear as you transition to your new career.

This e-course is for you if:

• You are feeling frustrated, bored, or burned out in your current job.
• You are craving a career that will use the best of your skills and talents.
• You want a professional life that challenges, nurtures, and financially supports you.
• You are ready to commit the necessary time, energy, and focus to this process.
• You are a self-starter and are willing to take risks.
• You want your work to be more than just a job.
• You don’t have the time for more traditional tele-classes or coaching sessions.

Class Structure:

Changing Course, Changing Careers is an e-course that is divided into 8 sections.    The sections will guide you systematically through the 3 stages of career development discussed above.  You will be e-mailed one section at a time.  Each section will contain information, exercises, and a brief set of questions for you to answer and return to me.  I will make comments and suggestions on each of your assignments.  Once you complete a section, the next section will be sent to you.  This allows you to work through the assignments at your own pace. 

In addition to the weekly course work, you will also receive:

• A hard copy of my book, "Changing Course, Changing Careers".  This book includes invaluable information, questions, and exercises to help guide you through the process of changing careers.
• An up-to-date resource list of books, Internet sites, and other relevant information for career changers.
• E-mail support as needed
• Two 1-hour coaching sessions.

Why continue to work at a job that no longer nourishes or excites you?  Give yourself permission to reach for your dreams and experience the joy of true professional satisfaction.   

Don't wait any longer. 

For just $325 (US), less than the cost of one month of coaching, you can start working towards a new career today.

Coaching is a one-on-one relationship between a coach and a client that is focused on supporting and empowering the client to move forward in a specific area of their life.  Coaching is an action-oriented process that is aimed at getting results.   Coaching is about breaking through old barriers, noticing where the client’s breakdowns occur, and helping them to develop new practices and behaviors that will allow them reach their desired goals.

My goal, as a coach, is to create a safe and respectful coaching environment in which my clients feel both supported and challenged. 

During our coaching sessions we will work together to help you:

• Identify the specific areas of your life you want to change.
• Clarify goals and specific outcomes for each area.
• Develop and implement an action plan to ensure you reach your goals.
• Define your values and priorities.
• Think outside the box.
• Overcome the fear and resistance that arises with any life change.
• Stay focused and on course as you work towards your goals.

The outcomes you can expect from coaching are:

• You will have a clear direction to your life.
• You will have a greater awareness of your values, interests, and passions.
• You will have more confidence and trust in following your inner voice.
• You will be better able to recognize the thoughts and behaviors that try to impede your progress.
• You will feel more excited and impassioned about your personal and professional life.
• You will feel a greater sense of personal fulfillment and joy.
• You will have the resources, knowledge, and skills to successfully continue on your journey.
• You will be living a life that is more integrated with your values and interests.

My clients are successful professionals who have a sense of what they are capable of doing in this life and who want to go for it.  They are insightful, motivated, and fun-loving people who realize that being truly successful is more than just having money in the bank.  It is also about giving back to the larger world.

They are willing to step out of their comfort zones, take some risks, and try new things.  And they realize that they will be much more successful in achieving their goals if they can partner with someone who will encourage, support, and hold them accountable along the way.

Does this sound like you?  If so, maybe now's the time for you to take action and begin creating the life you have always dreamed about.
