Career Counseling & Coaching – *NEW* January Special

Discover where your skills are most valued and plan beyond your next career move. We can help you develop a real plan for your future, mapping out your growth and priorities in a way that won’t leave you reeling during the next economic downturn. After all, you’re your own greatest asset.

Getting guidance from a certified career coach and consultant allows you to better understand the inner workings of employer HR departments, how internal promotions vs. outside hires work, and generally create a winning strategy for making progress in your career.

Don't navigate the world of work alone

Professional Assessment

Leverage the power of objective quantitative data to guide your career development. Assessing your existing skills and understanding how to leverage them for career growth better is at the core of professional development.  Plus, by identifying any holes in your skillset, you can prepare for the career you want, not just the job you have.

Third-party assessments and certifications are among the few ways you can prove what you’re capable of to a potential employer.  This is especially important and powerful for younger professionals who lack the extensive track record some employers insist on.

Learn the Power of Assessments

Personal & Executive Coaching

Focus your personal development activities on achieving career growth with a clear long-term view and objective advice from a dedicated career coach. We focus on helping you develop the right career trajectory for your life, wants, and needs.  We want you to be able to look back years from now and feel secure in the knowledge that you made the right career decisions and ended up exactly where you were meant to be.

Grow the career you want

Outplacement

Developing a culture of trust means supporting employees in all stages of employment, including exiting.  Having a well-defined outplacement program allows your employees to stay on with more confidence.  Having a clear protocol for employees exiting your company provides transparency, which leads, in turn, to greater trust.

Think beyond the basics.  Contracting our firm to provide support to your exiting employees gives them a better chance of getting new employment elsewhere and can significantly reduce the hostility so common from former employees.  Plus, a culture of support for employees helps to pull in new employees who might otherwise be concerned about job security and stability.

Support your exiting employees
