Life Coaching
McLean, VA
“Life coaching” is a term that covers a wide range of issues. With my multi-faceted background and the tremendous variety of challenges I’ve helped people confront (whether they relate to emotional barriers, job/career dilemmas, relationship problems, or combinations of those and others) I’m confident I can provide you with valuable guidance.
Resume Coaching
McLean, VA
As a former advertising executive I’ve always looked at resumes as ads - documents that persuade the reader that the author is someone to be taken seriously. As such they need to focus on accomplishments, or in the absence of those at least language the author’s experience in an impactful and relatable way. I’ll show you just how to maximize the impact of your resume.
Job Search Coaching
McLean, VA
Too many people limit their job searches to the job sites - relying on the availability of posted positions. In fact, a large proportion of jobs never make it to the job boards. I’ll show you how to uncover opportunities that are not broadly publicized, and guide you on the best way to insert yourself into the process.
Professional Networking
McLean, VA
There’s no more important skill to develop than how to effectively network. Part of what’s needed is the confidence to reach out, but just as important is the “ask” - being clear about what you are hoping to get from the interaction. I’ll guide you o how to strengthen your abilities in both of these critical areas.
