Get Unstuck–Your Coaching Choices

If you’re looking for a career that’s meaningful and fulfilling, I can help at every step of the journey with creative coaching support. Read here about your choices. Then choose whatever kind of support you need. I can help you with:

1. Lifework Coaching–The most important step. Determine which career is best for you and start taking steps toward making it real. Typically, clients go from conflicted and confused to a clear vision and basic plan in just 6 sessions.
   
2. Action Plan Coaching-Devising a complete plan that gets you to your career goal as effectively as possible
3. Success Partner Coaching–A plan is only useful if you stick with it and adjust when you need to. Helping you stay on track with your plan through short phone coaching sessions is what Success Partner Coaching is all about
4. Job Search and Job Interview Coaching–If your plan includes a job search, let me help you become more active and successful with your job search process.

All of my coaching is based on 4 elements:

• Finding creative new ways to approach seemingly stuck situations
• Working with the 4 step career success process I’ve developed over the past 15 years
• Developing a clear vision and clear goals
• Identifying your past successes and building on them

Quick facts about all of my coaching

1. RISK FREE first session--My Guarantee: Whether you’re planning on 6 sessions or 1, don’t pay before your first session. If after the session is complete you don’t think it’s what you want, you owe me nothing. Nada. No hard feelings–I want us both to feel this is a great match.
   
2. Sessions are typically 60 minutes.
   
3. We’ll move quickly based on creativity tools that clarify and cut through confusion. You’ll also be doing work (often more fun than work) between sessions. That makes our time together as productive as it possibly can be.
   
4. In case you’re wondering–no assessment tests, no personality categories to box you in, no cookie cutter ideas. Just custom work around your specific goals and dreams and discovering what thinking or actions might be holding you back.
5. Discounts available for coaching packages.
   

1.Lifework Coaching
Relish that feeling of dread Monday mornings?

Like feeling stifled, your passions and talents underused?

Unconcerned about where 1/3 of your life is going?

Thrive on job stress?

I didn’t think so. So why not get moving to a much better work life… before that next Monday arrives?

Wake up your hope! Get focused, get unstuck, get a plan — and get moving toward the fulfilling and meaningful work life you really want. Discover your authentic career vision — even if you currently feel confused or downright lost about what it is. Use a fun, engaging, and uniquely creative approach to develop your career based on your key passions, values, and talents. If not now, when?

You are a good candidate for Lifework Coaching if:

• Your work is burning you out, boring you, or depressing you — and it’s been going on like this for longer than you’d like to admit.
• You’re not sure where you are headed in your career and are ready to get some clarity and direction.
• You need a plan to reach your career goals.
• You need to get off your couch and start developing your career the way you want.
• You feel stuck about what to do to improve your work life.

2. Action Plan Coaching

OK, so you don’t need or already had lifework coaching and have a goal in mind for your career. Now you have to do the nitty-gritty work of putting together a plan. You have to figure out HOW to make your dream career come true.

Maybe you find you need help organizing and determining the steps and timelines that will make that plan to make the career real?

Or you need help separating out the important from the timewasting steps you might take to help your career?

Or you want to figure out how to break through stuck thinking regarding what you can do today to get moving on your career plan?

Then Action Plan Coaching is for you.

You are a good candidate for Action Plan Coaching if:

• You know your career goal
• You don’t know the practical steps to start taking to get to your career goal
• You are not organized about moving toward that goal
• You seem to be floundering around, unable to separate being busy from being effective in bringing about your career goals

3. Success Partner Coaching

Now you have a lifework or career goal in mind and have a plan in place. GREAT! The trick now is to implement the plan and make changes as new challenges emerge.

Many of us need someone who can help us stay accountable, be a sounding board for ideas, help discriminate silly fears from real issues and solutions along the way.

If you would like that kind of support, then you might want Success Partner Coaching.

Here are the 7 coaching opportunities you’ll get each month that you enroll:

Four jumpstart coaching phone calls (20 minutes each) to get you set for the next week or two with the kind of practical steps and ideas you’ll need.
Three emailed questions whenever you need to ask them and my phone or email responses. (Emails can be used any time during the month.)

You are a good candidate for Success Partner Coaching if:

• You know what you want to do with your career and have a plan, but need to stay on track with that plan.
• You need motivation to keep moving ahead with your career plans or job search.
• You just need someone to talk to who can clear out the cobwebs about your job or career challenges.

4. Job Search and Job Interview Coaching

Does networking or going to a job interview put butterflies in your stomach?

Wasting time on job boards and not taking a more active role in your job search?

Never know what to say to job interview or recruiter questions?

Most of us find job search and especially the interviews stressful if not downright painful.  If you want ideas and help in how to be a more dynamic, proactive, and successful jobseeker, or just want help in connecting with job interviewers, this coaching program is for you.

You are a good candidate for job interview coaching and practice if:

• You want a job that challenges you on a new level and isn’t just a repeat of your last job
• You want to save time in the job-seeking process, thereby earning money (thousands of dollars in most cases) that you otherwise don’t get while unemployed
• You want to be a more active participant in seeking out jobs and not just hope some online ad will magically appear
• You tend to be self conscious or overly nervous (everyone is at least a little nervous, which is OK) before or during job interviews

I was pleasantly surprised how Leonard was able to help me in the course of one 30 minute session. He asked me questions that quickly got to the issue and background of my situation. Leonard was able to quickly assess and understand my situation to offer advice that was very helpful and fit the situation.
