- clarify your possibilities
- move forward with a sense of hopefulness
Feel Unclear About Your Professional Path?
You're not alone. It's common to feel stuck at a career crossroads, unsure of where to go.
Can You Relate?
• You're overwhelmed by endless options and possibilities and stuck in analysis paralysis.
• You've experienced a lot, but now you're questioning your identity: Who am I? What do I truly want? What's important to me?
• The work that once felt like a good fit now feels unfulfilling. You're searching for impact, meaning, and a career that aligns with your values and aspirations.
• You feel like you're not growing. You're stuck in a professional holding pattern, job applications lead nowhere, or opportunities seem to pass you by.
• You're questioning what you're good at: What are my transferable skills? How can they translate to something new and meaningful?
If this sounds familiar, the good news is that you can start today laying the foundation for a different future.
What If You Didn't Have To Feel This Way?
Instead, imagine feeling
- Excited on Sunday night because you're looking forward to another rewarding work-week
- Fulfilled because you're using your strengths every day to make an impact
- Valued by coworkers who not only understand you but respect and support you
- Stimulated by work that interests you and regularly in a state of flow -- certainly not bored or overwhelmed!
- Energized and at peace because you've discovered what you're meant to be doing at this moment, and you're doing it
Creating this future requires a reflective visioning process that clarifies your direction.
LET'S GOHow Do You Get There? A Sequenced Approach
To make your desired future your reality, you need to get clear on:

My Career Journey
Like many people, I had difficulty finding employment aligned with my interests, values, and skills upon graduation. However, with some creativity, initiative, persistence, and support, I created a rewarding, mission-driven career.
As my career continued, I encountered bumps in the road, like ill-fitting roles and corporate cultures, which provided insights into what was important to me. By cultivating a growth mindset, I increased my resiliency and derived great satisfaction from my work as a sustainability leader, environmental protection advocate, and, later, strategic communications professional.
Over time, people sought me out for career guidance. I enjoyed assisting people at various career stages to clarify their goals and position themselves for their target roles.
I found the work so rewarding that I decided to launch a coaching practice that would allow me to deepen my impact.
During the day, I worked full-time as an environmental protection lobbyist and, later, director of strategic communications for a sustainability office. Early mornings, nights, and weekends, I developed my coaching practice.
I invested in my learning and growth to provide the best service possible. Through the National Career Development Association, I became a Certified Career Services Provider and later a Master Certified Life Coach through the Certified Life Coach Institute.
After years of coaching on the side, I decided to pursue my coaching practice full-time to focus on supporting people in creating rewarding, impactful careers. It is an honor to co-create meaningful experiences with my clients.
