I've been in career coaching  for over 10  years now.

That means that I can come across as an expert in everything from Executive Presence to how to get your first internship.

However, I was once new at this little game I like to call ‘figuring out what the hell I want to do with my life.’

I have made plenty of mistakes along the way, but I'm proud to say I've learned from my mistakes and it’s made me the coach I am today.

Let me bare my soul to help you learn from my mistakes (because I’m all about saving you that trail & error time!)

So,  pull up a chair, and let's get into the first time I failed at changing careers.

Are you currently job searching and interviewing?

Then you may have heard about the STAR interview response technique and desperately wanted to figure out how to deploy it for yourself.

I get it. In the world of job interviews, we all want to appear as the best hiring choice as possible.

Today, you’re in luck because I’m going to show you everything you need to know about how to use the STAR interview response technique but were afraid to ask.

You'll be ready for your next big interview (and to sign that offer letter).

Whether you want to change careers, get a new job, or make work work for you, you've likely taken a stab at tweaking your resume for the 20th time. 

Unfortunately, there's a lot of career advice out there that won't help you meet your goals and could actually do more harm than good.

So in this post, I’m debunking 4 myths to help you get on the right track for good.

Ready to learn all about how to reach those career milestones you stay up late thinking about?

Grab yourself your emotional support beverage bottle and that extra smooth pen you stole from that hotel bar that one time.

Throughout my 10+ years working in the career space, I have learned a thing or two about why people aren't getting the job satisfaction they’re looking for.

Often it comes down to one of these 5 reasons. Knowing the what and why is often the first step in getting the level of happiness in your career that you desire.

Here’s the thing. Work/Life Balance isn’t a good idea because:

Time and energy and where you spend them are intensely personal, It perpetuates the idea that you life has two parts Work and… Life. That’s it., Focusing on balancing these two concepts means that Work is 50% of your time!! , While the concept was revolutionary years ago, things have changed. For many, the pandemic taught us that work is not and should not be the bulk of our lives.

What is Self-Guided Career Development Exactly?

At its most basic, Self-Guided Development is a career evolution plan that you create and implement for yourself, agnostic of wherever you happen to be currently working. 

Let's add a little more depth to that— most corporate organizations have Learning & Development initiatives to help their people be the best employees they can be for that company.  Self-Guided Development is a program you outline for yourself that will make you a stand-out in your career as a whole, no matter where you’re working.

Are you hitting a wall in networking for your job search?

Finding something challenging doesn't mean that you give up.

Perhaps you haven't found that one process you need to master to achieve a job search network that works.

Lucky for you, I'm here to teach you all about networking for job search success.

Grab your emotional support beverage of choice and dive on in with me, friend.

There’s a whole lot of misinformation on careers, which is why it’s easy to feel defeated when you’re doing everything “right” and still not getting results. Read on for some sneaky limiting beliefs that may be holding you back from a fulfilling career, and how to turn them into your superpowers. 

Like many others in career/executive coaching, I stopped using assessments, tests and quizzes. 

You may think you already know why I don't like using assessments anymore, but this post will take you through 5 reasons why I switched away from it.

I’m giving you the low down on why I don’t use these tests so that in the process, you just might find new ways to gain insight into your own career desires.

The goal of every job hunter is to get a job. Insert your favorite adjective as to what kind:  good, better, decent, fun, fulfilling, high paying, etc. 

But without a strategy, it can be hard to snag that role so you can bring in those dolla, dolla bills.  

Oftentimes, it just comes down to misguided strategies. So you just end up with spaghetti all over your job search walls. 

Maybe you’ve been applying to every job you can find and wondering why you’re not getting anywhere.

It's enough to make anyone feel frustrated.
